How to Make Sweet Potato Brownies

Step 1:

Start by preheating your oven to 350F and lining a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Add 1 cup of mashed potato into a large mixing bowl, followed by almond butter, eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

Step 3:

Add the cocoa powder, baking soda, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until it becomes thick and creamy.

Step 4:

Stir in the chocolate chips until well incorporated into the batter.

Step 5:

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread into an even layer. You can sprinkle more chocolate chips on top, if preferred.

Step 6:

Place on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 23 to 28 minutes. If you want fudgy, gooey brownies, bake the brownies for 23 minutes.

Step 7:

Once done baking, allow the cookies to cool completely for about an hour before slicing. Serve with a scoop of ice cream on top and enjoy!
