Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare a baking pan by greasing it lightly to prevent brownies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato puree and peanut butter, stirring until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the maple syrup to the mixture and mix thoroughly until creamy and well integrated.
- Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder and incorporate it fully into the mixture until smooth.
- Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- If using, stir in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.
Baking
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven until the edges are set and the center looks slightly moist.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
Notes
Allow sweet potato puree to cool completely for smoother texture. Use natural peanut butter for better consistency.
