Make these dense, fudgy brownies using sweet potato for moisture and nutrients. This recipe delivers rich chocolate flavor perfect for a satisfying, nutrient-dense treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, if using.
  7. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out mostly clean, but the center should still look slightly moist for fudgy results.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your sweet potato is fully cooked and mashed very smoothly before measuring.
  • You can substitute coconut oil for the butter if you prefer a different fat source.
  • Cooling the brownies completely before cutting prevents them from crumbling.
