Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet potato (mashed)
• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup coconut oil (melted)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil.

Step 2

Peel and boil or steam a medium-sized sweet potato until fork-tender. Mash it thoroughly to ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Be careful not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Sweet Potato Cinnamon Brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
