Make rich, fudgy brownies using sweet potato puree. This recipe is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, making it gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares. Cooling fully helps them set into a fudgy texture.

Notes

  • For the best fudgy texture, chill the brownies for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • These brownies freeze well. Wrap individual squares tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
