Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the mashed sweet potato.
    • Mix well until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
  4. Incorporate Optional Add-ins:
    • If using, gently fold in vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  5. Bake the Brownies:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes to set before slicing into squares.
    • Serve as is, or top with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a scoop of vegan ice cream for an indulgent treat.
