As you probably know by now, I love showing my gratitude through food. And you probably also know by now how much I love brownies. Hope you like brownies, I mean honestly who doesn’t like brownies??? These vegan sweet potato peanut butter brownies are soft, gooey, and oh-so-chocolatey. They taste like pure bliss and are pretty much impossible to stop eating… until suddenly you look up and the whole tray is gone. Brownies have a sneaky way of disappearing like that haha! Sure, we all aim to have veggies at every meal, but have you thought about taking it to the next level and adding them into desserts? Trust me, this recipe hits the spot for sweetness. In these secretly lightened-up brownies, the sweet potato adds depth of flavour and moisture, keeping the brownies soft and fudgy without needing any oil in the recipe. They are also a deliciously low-GI carbohydrate source, providing slow release energy for the body. The perfect treat when you need some chocolate therapy!
I must admit that the brownie batter was a little bit sticky due to the sweet potatoes but I would still make this recipe over and over again since the result was extremely delicious. Why? Because:
1. they don’t taste of sweet potato
2. they are seriously fudgy
3. they taste indulgent but are secretly healthy
4. they are a good source of protein and fibre
5. they are filling and satisfying
6. they are undetectably vegan and gluten-free
7. they are oil-free
8. they are easy to make
9. they require just one bowl to make!
A delicious brownie with awesome health benefits! This recipe can be suitable for low calorie, gluten free, and sugar free diets, and there’s a flourless option as well. To make them nut free, just use seed butter or your favourite allergy-friendly alternative to peanut butter. You also get extra protein (5.6 grams per brownie!), iron from the cocoa, and a vegetable serving, all at the same time.
