Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients

3/4 cup sweet potato puree

1 cup peanut or almond butter 

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup + 2 TBSP almond flour 

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (sugar and dairy-free) 

2/3 cup monk fruit sweetener - this was my original recommendation, I have since used coconut sugar or maple syrup and aim to use more like 1/3 cup of sweetener or a tiny bit more. I find this part very subjective so taste your batter and sweeten it to taste. The sweet potato adds some sweetness and you can top it off with a natural sweetener. 

1/4 cup + 2 TBSP cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F
  2. Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper or grease well
  3. Gently heat your nut butter until easily stirred
  4. Then whisk it together with the sweet potato and vanilla extract in a large bowl
  5. In a separate bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients – make sure that baking soda is evenly incorporated by using a sifter
  6. Pour dry ingredients into wet (not the other way around), stirring until everything is smooth and transfer into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake on the centre oven rack for 30 minutes (It will look a little underdone, but firms up as it cools
