Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
  • 0.5 cup almond butter
  • 0.5 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 0.5 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy lifting after baking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix vigorously with a whisk or spatula until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
  • Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined—take care not to overmix to maintain a chewy texture.
  • Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if you're using them) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly for even baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs, but not wet batter.
  • Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully lift them out using the edges of the parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • When fully cooled, cut the brownies into squares and savor the rich, chocolaty goodness of your vegan sweet potato brownies!

Notes

For an elegant touch, dust the brownies with cocoa powder or drizzle almond butter on top. Pair with vegan ice cream for an indulgent experience.
