VEGAN SWEET POTATO BROWNIES RECIPE
Vegan sweet potato brownies! This fudgy, chocolatey and rich treat makes a perfect healthy dessert or snack that is also perfect for special occasions, and is made with just a handful of ingredients. Gluten-free and oil-free.
I think that a brownie isn’t a proper brownie unless it’s fudgy, soft and VERY chocolatey. These sweet potato brownies meet all of those criteria. If you’re afraid that you’ll be able to taste the sweet potato, I promise you can’t. It does, however, add sweetness and that wonderful texture we all love.
I also added a handful of vegan marshmallows to this recipe, but I know that they aren’t accessible to everyone, so this step is entirely optional. The rest of the ingredients are pretty simple: dark chocolate, maple syrup, almond butter, coconut flour and a pinch of salt! The end result is so good that whenever I make them, they disappear in minutes. No one can ever tell that they contain sweet potato!
