You'd never guess the secret ingredient to these brownies if it wasn't right in the name. Whoops. It's sweet potatoes!!
Sweet potatoes add sweet flavor and texture while serving as a binding agent in these brownies. Don't worry though, the brownies are sweet, but they DON'T taste like sweet potatoes.
Instead, they taste like a chocolate dream. Yum. They are rich and fudgy without being gluey. Yet they still have a bit of a crumbly texture and a nice crisp edge (for my fellow edge-lovers!)
Step 1. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Step 2. Poke a few holes in the sweet potato using a fork. Alternatively, chop the sweet potato into cubes.
Step 3. Put the sweet potato in a steamer basket, colander, or other gadget with holes. Place the basket on top of the boiling water without letting it touch the water. Cover.
Step 4. Let the sweet potato cook for 15-30 minutes, until it is fork tender. The exact cook time will depend on the size of the potato or how small you've cut it.
Step 5. When the sweet potato is tender, remove it from the heat and let cool.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom and sides of a brownie pan with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a medium bowl, mash the sweet potato.
Step 3. Mix in the almond butter and date sugar.
Step 4. Add the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, almond flour, buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Step 6. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
Lord Jesus thank you for these brownies and giving us delicious flavors to enjoy. Amen.

Save the skins of the sweet potato! They are the most nutrient-rich part. Eat them as a snack while you’re waiting for the brownies to cook!
