Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. 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.
  3. Add mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla into a large bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Add coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
  5. Gently stir in chocolate chips.
  6. 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

  • Store leftover brownies in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, let them thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying. 
  • Chocolate ganache topping: For more chocolatey goodness you could make a chocolate ganache topping by melting 1/4 cup chocolate chips in the microwave. Once melted, add 1/8 cup milk of choice then spread it over the cooled brownies. As the brownies sit, the chocolate topping will start to a harden a bit. You can put them in the fridge to speed up the process. 
  • To store: Store leftover brownies in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, let them thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
