Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled; or coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or 2/3 cup oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (roughly chopped or use mini chocolate chips)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
  • Add the mashed potatoes, eggs, honey, butter, and vanilla to a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine into a smooth mixture.
  • Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Stir in to combine fully.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until the center is set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool fully in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Store brownies at room temperature or the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • If using homemade mashed sweet potato, plan to make it ahead so it has plenty of time to cool down. 
  • Dairy-free: Use dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oat flour. (You'll want to use 2/3 cup.)
  • Because these brownies are so wonderfully fudgy, you want to make sure they cool fully before slicing, and it's actually easiest to slice them after they chill a little bit. When you’re ready, use the parchment paper to lift the entire bar out of the pan and place onto a cutting board to slice.
