Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies (Just 4 Ingredients!)

That darn sweet tooth can sabotage your healthy-eating efforts in a hurry!

That’s why I love finding simple recipes for sweet treats that come with a side of health benefits.

These fudgy, rich and moist brownies totally do the trick…and they only require 4 simple ingredients!

These brownies are free of dairy, gluten and refined sugar. Plus, they are paleo and vegan-friendly.

Better yet, their 2 star ingredients pack some serious health benefits:

  1. Sweet potatoes – read about the health benefits HERE.
  2. Cacao – read about the health benefits HERE.

THE RECIPE

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup of Mashed Sweet Potato
  • 1/2 Cup of Smooth Almond, Cashew or Sunflower Seed Butter
  • 1/4 Cup of Cacao Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons of Pure Maple Syrup

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  2. Grease an 8×8-inch brownie pan with coconut oil. (I recommend investing in a glass brownie pan like this one, because glass bakeware eliminates the worry of any toxicity from metal / coated pans, doesn’t hold stains or smells and is much easier to clean!)
  3. In a small saucepan on the stove, melt the nut / seed butter with the maple syrup. This will make mixing the ingredients much easier and will help the flavors meld together.
  4. Blend all the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and pour into the brownie pan.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out with no batter on it.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool completely. You can put them in the refrigerator to help them cool and set more quickly.
  7. ENJOY!

NOTE: Be sure to store any leftover brownies in the fridge!

SHORTCUT ALERT! You can save loads of time by buying canned organic sweet potato puree instead of baking/boiling and mashing your own sweet potatoes.

Just make sure the only ingredient in the can is organic sweet potatoes, and that the can is BPA-free like this brand:

If you can’t find canned organic sweet potato puree in stores near you, you can score it online for an amazing price HERE at Thrive Market.

Cheers to enjoying delicious brownies with a side of health benefits!
