Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 12 brownies

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sweet potato puree about 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
  • Prepare Sweet Potato: Cook and mash the sweet potato until smooth. You can steam, boil, or bake it beforehand.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and eggs. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
  • Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared 8x8-inch baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the baking dish for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.
