Ingredients

• 2 medium (about 1 cup mashed) sweet potatoes
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup almond butter
• 1 cup coconut sugar
• 0.5 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup for topping additional dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave them on high for about 8-10 minutes or until completely tender. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 3

Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a medium bowl until smooth. Measure about 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted chocolate, and almond butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Add in the coconut sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until everything is thoroughly incorporated.

Step 7

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully combined and batter is smooth.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with the additional 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
