Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies
These vegan sweet potato brownies are a super dense and moist brownie compared to others - almost like fudge. Topping them with peanut butter tames the richness of the cocoa and adds a salty element to the treat. Cook up this amazing healthy vegan brownie recipe and watch them disappear.

Ingredients
- 1 pound of sweet potatoes
- ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ cup of maple syrup
- ⅓ cup of vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup of creamy peanut butter (optional but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Roast, steam, or boil potatoes (skin on or off is your preference) until softened.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Process cooled, softened potatoes in a food processor until smooth then add in flour, maple syrup and cocoa powder. Process until smooth, batter shouldn't be runny, it will be a thicker batter (add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if too thick). Finally, add vegan chocolate chips and process for only a few seconds to mix them in.
- In a greased or lined 8X8 pan, pour brownie batter in and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread about a half cup of creamy peanut butter over the top. It helps to do this when the brownies are still warm, as the PB will spread more easily.
- Pop the final product in the fridge and slice when completely cooled. Store in the fridge for 3 to 5 days or freeze for a longer lifespan.

Notes
- Brownie batter is rather thick. If it feels too thick add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a thinner consistency.
- Drizzled peanut butter: For a drizzled look, thin the peanut butter out with a bit of warm water and place in a pastry bag with a fine tip (or plastic sandwich bag with the corner cut) and drizzle over the top.
- Storage: Vegan sweet potato brownies must be stored in the refrigerator.
