If you’ve never tried sweet potato brownies before than you may be surprised with how delicious these are! The magic ingredient of sweet potato gives these brownies a moist, fudgy texture with extra nutritional benefits!
Why you’ll love these brownies
These brownies are rich, decedent, chocolatey, flour free, gluten free, with no refined sugars- what is not to like?! They are the perfect guilt-free treat to satisfy any chocolate cravings you may have. These brownies have been requested many times by my dairy/ egg-eating friends who say they think they taste better than any non-vegan brownies they have tried! Try serving with dairy-free vanilla icecream, vegan cream (like oat cream) and dark chocolate sauce for an extra treat!
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes- boiled and pureed in blender
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoons plant-based butter
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ⅔ cup oat flour- whole or quick oats blended into fine powder in food processor
- To serve (optional): Dairy-free cream (I use ‘Oatly’ brand), strawberries or raspberries, vegan ice cream and/or dark chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 deg C (400 deg F). Line a baking dish with parchment paper
- To prepare sweet potatoes, peel and chop in medium sized pieces. Boil until soft. Cool and puree in blender
- Add sweet potato puree, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and melted vegan butter to food processor and blend well
- Add cocoa powder, sea salt, and baking powder and oat flour and blend
- Transfer mixture to parchment-lined baking dish, spread evenly with a spatula and then with fork to achieve an even distribution of batter
- Bake in centre of oven for around 30 mins. A fork inserted into centre should come out mostly clean- edges should be dry and centre not too gooey.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool
- Slice in medium sized pieces
- Can be eaten straight away while still warm or cooled in fridge. Optional: Serve with dairy-free cream (I use ‘Oatly’ brand), strawberries or raspberries, vegan ice cream and/or dark chocolate sauce. Enjoy!
