Ingredients

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1.33 cups finely mashed cooked sweet potato (see note)
1 cup runny almond butter or nut/seed butter of choice
Optional: 1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sweet potatoes, and almond butter until blended and smooth.
Scrape and spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top,
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until just set at edges (they will look underdone). Cool completely in pan.
For perfectly cut squares, refrigerate the brownie until cold. Remove from pan using parchment and cut into squares. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled, cut brownies in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 1 day, the refrigerator for five days, or the freezer for up to six months.

Tip: If the almond butter is very firm, warm it in the microwave until runny, or place the jar in a bowl of very hot water until the nut butter is very runny.

Almond Butter Alternative: Feel free to use runny sunflower seed butter, tahini, peanut butter, or cashew butter in place of the almond butter.

For the Sweet Potato: Microwave, boil, or steam a large sweet potato until very, very soft and mushy. Finely mash with a fork or handheld (stick) food processor, or puree the flesh in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Cocoa Powder Tip: I prefer a strong cocoa flavor, hence the 1/2 cup of cocoa powder. If you prefer a liighter flavor, start with 1/4 cup cocoa powder and add more until desired chocolate flavor is reached.
