Fudgy Sweet Potato Banana Brownies
Decadent, rich chocolate brownies made with healthy ingredients.
Servings: 9 brownies
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sweet potato puree about one medium sweet potato
- 1 cup peanut butter melted
- 1 very ripe banana mashed
- ½ cup applesauce
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips divided
- ½ cup spelt flour
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease or line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Steam or microwave the sweet potato until soft enough to mash. Let cool, remove the skin, and mash to a puree consistency.
- Microwave the peanut butter on the melt or soften setting for about 30 seconds. This will make the peanut butter easier to combine with the other ingredients.
- In a large bowl combine the sweet potato puree, peanut butter, mashed banana, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients mixture to the wet ingredients mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
- Fold about ¾ cup of the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 25 minutes for gooey brownies, about 30 minutes for firmer brownies.
