We’ve tried beans in brownies, so why not naturally sweet, vitamin-rich sweet potatoes?! The baked, cooled and mashed potatoes reduce the need for much flour and sugar. With just a few ingredients and a one-bowl method of preparation, these simple and healthy brownies are a must-try.
INGREDIENTS:
(Serves 8)
1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 small)
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup oat flour
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated stevia (if you like them sweeter, add more)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter, or coconut oil
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
ICING:
4 ounces Greek vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 teaspoon stevia
1 tablespoon almond butter (optional)
chocolate chips (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. In a food processor, whip sweet potatoes until smooth. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a greased 8×8 pan. Bake for 13-16 minutes. Pull them out when almost done. They will dry out if you leave them in too long. Cool. Stir topping ingredients together. Spread on top.
