Make rich, fudgy brownies using sweet potato puree and maple syrup. This recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free, and uses just one bowl.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until smooth.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

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.
