Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked sweet potato (mashed; about 1 medium sweet potato, roasted or steamed)
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey (choose one)
• 0.25 cup almond butter or peanut butter (choose one)
• 2 eggs (large)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.333 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher)
• oat flour (amount not specified; listed in step 2, although almond flour is listed in the ingredients)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (about 175°C) and line an 8 × 8-inch pan.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the mashed cooked sweet potato with the maple syrup or honey, almond butter or peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Add the almond flour, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth. The ingredient list specifies almond flour, while the written step also names oat flour; no amount for oat flour is provided.

4. 4

   Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the lined pan.

6. 6

   Bake for 22–26 minutes.

7. 7

   Let the brownies cool for 20–30 minutes before slicing so the fudgy texture can set.

Notes

The ingredient list gives almond flour, but step 2 says oat flour; the source does not clarify whether oat flour is intended in addition to or instead of almond flour, or provide an amount. Choose one of maple syrup or honey and one of almond butter or peanut butter. Baking time in the transcript is stated as 20 minutes, while the written recipe specifies 22–26 minutes; the written recipe is followed here.
