Sweet Potato Brownies with BHU Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Vegan & Gluten-Free)

Looking for a delicious treat that’s both indulgent and nutritious? These Vegan & Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Brownies made with BHU Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips are a guilt-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth while supporting your health goals!

Why Sweet Potatoes?

Sweet potatoes are not only naturally sweet, but they are also a powerhouse of nutrients. They’re loaded with fiber, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin C, and potassium. These brownies harness the creaminess and slight sweetness of sweet potatoes, making them an excellent base for a gluten-free and vegan dessert. Paired with our BHU Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, this recipe offers rich chocolatey goodness without any dairy or refined sugar.

Health Benefits:

  • Gluten-Free & Vegan: Perfect for those with dietary restrictions or anyone looking to eat cleaner without sacrificing flavor.
  • Rich in Fiber: Sweet potatoes help promote healthy digestion and regulate blood sugar levels.
  • Antioxidant Boost: Sweet potatoes and BHU’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips both provide antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body.
  • Naturally Sweet: The natural sweetness from sweet potatoes means less need for added sugars, making this a lower-glycemic option than traditional brownies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup, mashed)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (or your preferred liquid sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup BHU Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roast the sweet potato until soft (about 40-50 minutes) or microwave until tender. Once cooked, allow it to cool and mash until smooth.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add cocoa powder, gluten-free oat flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined.
  4. Fold in BHU Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the BHU Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for an extra burst of chocolate in every bite.
  5. Bake: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter into the dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with a few extra BHU Chocolate Chips for decoration. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay for that fudgy texture).
  6. Cool & Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Enjoy them as is, or serve with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream for a decadent dessert!
