How to make sweet potato brownies
The Ingredients
- Sweet Potato. A mashed and cooled sweet potato provides the starch base and a deliciously fudgy texture.
- Maple Syrup. 100% pure maple syrup provides sweetness, along with an even fudgier texture. A little goes a long way, and you won’t even TASTE the maple flavor.
- Almond Butter. Drippy and smooth almond butter adds healthy fats! Be sure to use one that has no added sugar or salt.
- Cocoa Powder. Obviously needed for the chocolate flavor, right?
The Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a loaf pan or small square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, add all your ingredients and blend until a smooth batter remains.
- Transfer your sweet potato brownie batter into the lined pan. Top with optional chocolate chips and place in the oven. Bake brownies for 18-20 minutes, or until the brownies are cooked through.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan completely, before slicing into pieces.
Storing, freezing and thawing sweet potato brownies
- To store. Place cooled brownies in a sealed container and keep them in the fridge. Brownies refrigerated will keep fresh for up to 1 week.
- To freeze. You can freeze sweet potato brownies! Wrap brownies individually in parchment paper and place them in a ziplock bag. Brownies kept in the freezer will keep fresh for up to 6 months.
- To thaw. Thaw brownies by keeping them out at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.

Just found your site. Love it!!!!! Nicely done.
Is there (or have I missed it?) a printable version of your individual recipes? I’m old school. 🙂 thanks!
Hi Sherry! 🙂 Thanks so much for your kind words- There should be an option to print right above the recipe 🙂
Just copy & paste the text you want into a Word doc 🙂
Yum! I make these as fudge bites, so good and you would never know it’s sweet potato as the base! I think I added mini chocolate chips too. I need to make them again! Been meaning to do so, I wanted to try it with Skoop’s new chocolate protein powder to see if I like it in place of/with the cocoa powder.
Oh nice! I never thought to eat this raw but without eggs, of course it would work! Maybe I should do a protein bar of this ha!
It definitely works with Skoop, I made it for Alexis using her Skoop protein powder.
I am surprisingly well digested after yesterday. I ate a lot of sweet potato cheesecake and pie. It was great. Do Aussies celebrate Thanksgiving?
They don’t, it’s an American tradition 🙂
In my opinion the choc chips are not optional! Love my brownies with choc chips – and sadly I’m nursing a fever (my own – blah) instead of a food hangover!
I just made a new brownie and added maybe a whole package of them..never a bad idea 😀
Hope you’re feeling better!
Brownies as part of food prep? Now that’s an idea I can get on board with. And overlook the sweet potatoes ;).
No food hangovers yet but I have a family gathering coming up on the weekend and there will likely be a few kale food babies for some family members. We’re talking not kale chips or salad but traditional German ‘Grünkohl’ with a certain kind of greasy sausage (Pinkel) and meat. Not for me, obviously.
That actually sounds delicious! Yum!
I just had a ginormous plate of Thanksgiving leftovers. Too bad I don’t have one of these lil guys to finish the epic meal with!
I’m jealous!
I can’t wait for these sex pots to grace the shelves of my freezer. #sevenpoundsstrong
Hi I’m waiting to go for breakfast and lol’d at this. I just legit replied to your text.
Armani can I add chocolate protein powder to this recipe? I’m so excited to have all the ingredients…but always looking for opportunities to add protein. 🙂 Thanks!!
Hi Marissa! Try out my four ingredient flourless protein brownie recipe- Use sweet potato instead, it works a treat 🙂
Are these the same brownies you gifted to the Hubby and I because if so, THEY ARE AMAZING. I ate them for lunch. Now I can say I had my veggies. 🙂
Oh no! I shared a special one with you guys yet to grace the blog- Coming soon!
Your ending questions are prfect because I am always nursing a food hangover. I also had three servings of pie on Thanksgiving. These look so soft, so luscious, so..delicious.
SOOO luscious!
Fabulous! I I substituted honey for the maple syrup since that’s all that I had on hand and added in some vanilla, cinnamon and salt but other than that followed your directions to a tee. They were a bit hard to cut out of the oven, but straight from the freezer are just delicious. Even my husband, a certified sweet potato hater, enjoyed them
oh YES! thanks so much for the feedback, Kate! The texture is so on point when eaten cold 🙂
I did celebrate Thanksgiving and even though we had a big meal I didn’t eat tons more than normal. I did eat quite a bit. 😀 However, I think I normally eat quite a bit for a 5’3″ gal.
Nice! Hope you enjoyed it!
Yum! What a great addition – personally made sweets from you!? COUNT ME IN! I am thankful to have so many great blogs to read that provide me with amazing recipes and food motivation! 🙂
Right? I love the blog community for that! 🙂
Sir! Since WHEN are chocolate chips optional?! And no food hangovers here, but I wish I had something to explain why I’ve been dragging so hardcore in the morning. Let’s go with the fact that the sun doesn’t rise until 8:30. It just makes me want to stay in bed and be lazy.
Urgh. Today I got up randomly hence…this. But. T minus… something until I veg out!
Maybe a silly question but how you make mashed sweet potatoes? Just the potatoes mashed… Or use them after adding milk etc? I’m anxious to try this recipe out in my picky eaters!
Hi Ashlee! Not at all- I steam them in the microwave like a normal potato and allow it to cool then mash completely 🙂
Thank you!!
