Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 2 medium-sized potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup adjust to taste
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking Tin
  • Fork For mashing sweet potatoes
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Roast the sweet potatoes whole in the oven at 400°F for about 45 minutes or boil until soft. Once cooled, scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything's well blended.
  3. Sift in the cocoa powder and sprinkle in the salt. Mix gently until the batter comes together. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  4. For baked brownies, spread the batter into a lined baking tin and bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes. For no-bake brownies, press the mixture into a dish and refrigerate for at least two hours.
