Ingredients

Scale

1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup, mashed)
½ cup pure maple syrup (or honey for a richer flavor)
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour if you prefer)
¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened, high quality)
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and cube the sweet potato. Steam or boil until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Mash until smooth and let it cool slightly.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
Add the Dry Ingredients: Sift in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined—overmixing will take away some of that fudgy texture we’re after.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips for that gooey, chocolatey surprise in every bite.
Bake the Brownies: Grease or line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for good measure.
Bake: Pop it in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay). You want them to be just a tad under-baked for extra fudginess.
Cool and Slice: Let them cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy the chocolatey goodness!
