Made with a secret ingredient that adds a delightful twist, these gooey, fudgy brownies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while still adhering to a healthier lifestyle.

One of the key components of this guilt-free dessert is the sweet potato, a nutritional powerhouse that packs a powerful punch of vitamins, minerals, and fibre. Not only does the addition of sweet potato enhance the natural sweetness of the brownies, but it also boosts the overall nutritional value, making them an excellent choice for a post-workout snack or a midday treat.

HEALTHY SWEET POTATO BROWNIES

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS:
▪︎ 1 cup cooked sweet potato
▪︎ ½ cup cocao powder
▪︎ ½ cup maple syrup

▪︎ ½ cup natural peanut butter
▪︎ 1.5 tsp baking powder
▪︎ ¼ cup oat flour
▪︎ ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
▪︎ 1 tsp vanilla & a pinch salt

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a square cake pan with baking paper.
Blend all the ingredients apart from the chocolate chips. In a bowl or food processor until a thick batter consistency is achieved. (Add a little more maple syrup if you have a big sweet tooth).
Fold through chocolate chips and transfer to your lined tin. Smooth the top and decorate with extra chocolate.
Cook the brownies in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. ENJOY!
