I’ve always been a little skeptical of sweet potato brownies but this recipe proved me wrong. You really can’t tell there are sweet potatoes in here at all; if anything, they impart a rich, fudgy, and moist texture that makes them seem more decadent than they are.

 2 small or 1 large sweet potato (425g), peeled and chopped into small chunks
 ½ cup (75g) raw almonds, or 1/2 cup almond meal
 ½ cup (50g) rolled oats
 ½ cup + 2 tbsp cocoa powder
 ¼ cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar
 ½ cup dark chocolate chips
1

Steam or boil the sweet potato chunks until soft. Preheat oven to 350F/177C.

2

Mash the sweet potato and place in refrigerator to cool. Blend the oats in a food processor until fine, remove, then add almonds and pulse into almond flour.

3

Add sweet potato mash and all other ingredients and blend again to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.

4

Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and smooth mixture into the dish, top with chopped nuts and more chocolate chips if desired, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from pan, then cut into squares. (I think they taste better after chilling in the fridge for a while!)
