Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (180 g) mashed sweet potato
  • ¾ cup (180 g) creamy peanut butter or other nut butter
  • ½ cup (120 ml) maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup (56 g) cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup (40 g) oat flour
  • ⅓ cup (57 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or 160°C for a fan oven. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweet potato, peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract.
  • Add the cocoa powder and oat flour and stir until well combined.
  • Smooth the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and top with the chocolate chips, gently pressing them into the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs.
  • Cool completely before slicing

Notes

  • To double this recipe, double all of the ingredients and bake the brownies in a 9x13-inch pan. You may need a few extra minutes of baking time, so keep an eye on things in the oven.
  • Use parchment paper to line your brownie pan, and be sure to leave some extra on at least two sides. The extra paper will act as handles to help you easily remove the brownies from the pan once they've cooled.
  • For cleanly sliced squares, allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature, and then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. These are easiest to cut when they are cold.
  • Mix Ins: Feel free to add other yummy things to your brownies! Try chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, white chocolate chunks, or sprinkles.
