Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the brownies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, oat flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Mix everything together until you have a smooth, consistent batter with no lumps.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly to prevent sticking, then pour the brownie batter evenly into the dish, spreading it out smoothly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The brownies are ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into 12 equal squares and serve.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potatoes are well mashed to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Use oat flour for gluten-free brownies; regular flour can be substituted if gluten is not a concern.
- Check brownies at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking and preserve fudgy texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips.
