Sweet Potato Brownies
These Sweet Potato Brownies use mashed roasted sweet potato combined with cocoa, coconut flour, and dark chocolate chips to create a moist, chocolaty baked treat. The substitution of sweet potato adds moisture and a subtle earthiness while the cocoa and chocolate chips provide rich chocolate flavor. The brownies bake with a tender crumb and slightly fudgy texture.

Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato 1 cup mashed, medium
- 2 egg
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips plus more for topping (I used Lily's dark chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pierce sweet potato with a fork in 2-3 spots. Wrap in foil and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool. Peel sweet potato and mash with a fork until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato for the recipe and save the rest for something else. Lower oven temp to 350ºF.
- Add mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla into a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Add coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
- Gently stir in chocolate chips.
- Scoop batter into a greased 8×8 baking dish and top with additional chocolate chips. Bake brownies for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes
- Leftover brownies keep well in the fridge for up to one week or can be frozen for up to three months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
- For extra chocolate richness, consider adding a ganache topping made by melting chocolate with milk and spreading it over cooled brownies, chilling until firm.
