Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium sweet potato around 1 cup, cooked
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 scoops or around 1/3 cup unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan by lightly spraying it with vegetable oil or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Peel your sweet potato and place it in a large bowl. With a potato smasher, mash until smooth. Then stir in maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla, and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add cocoa powder, baking powder, protein powder, and salt, and mix until a thick batter forms.
  4. Fold in your chocolate chips and nuts. Then, using a spatula, place the mixture in your baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, until firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanish.
  6. Allow the sweet potato brownies to cool completely, then cut into 12 brownies and serve or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week (if they last that long).
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

You can also use peanut or almond butter if you don’t have tahini.
