If you're a big fan of chocolate brownies but also want something healthier, you're in for a treat! We've got a secret ingredient up our sleeves – sweet potatoes! We're whipping up a batch of super-delicious, fudgy 4 ingredient sweet potato brownies. Super chocolatey, gooey, naturally sweet and incredibly delicious!
½cup(135 grams) almond butteror favorite nut butter or seed butter
¼cup(78 grams) pure maple syrup
¼cup(21 grams) raw cacao powderor natural cocoa powder
½cup(85 grams) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolateoptional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x4-inch cake pan, loaf pan or brownie pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, nut butter (room temperature works best), and maple syrup. Mix until fully combined.
Add the cacao powder to the mix and stir.
If you're feeling extra chocolaty, toss in a handful of dark chocolate chips and stir.
Pour the sweet potato brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Place pan into preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Stick a toothpick in – if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, your brownies are ready.
Cool in pan on wire rack, refrigerate until firm, then cut into squares to serve.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for easy mixing.
For nut-free brownies substitute with tahini or sunflower seed butter in place of nut butter.
Refrigerating the brownies before cutting will make it easier to achieve neat, firm squares.
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
