These cozy paleo sweet potato brownies are fudgy, naturally sweetened, and perfect for a comforting dessert without refined sugars or gluten.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup mashed, cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (refined if less coconut flavor preferred)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potato by roasting at 400°F for 40-50 minutes or boiling for 20-25 minutes until tender. Let cool completely and mash smooth (about 1 cup).
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cooled mashed sweet potato until smooth and creamy.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in optional chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips if using.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 22-25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool brownies in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing to set the fudgy texture.
  10. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts and serve.

Notes

Roasting the sweet potato adds deeper flavor than boiling. Cool sweet potato completely before mashing to avoid watery batter. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet to maintain fudgy texture. Measure coconut flour carefully to avoid dryness. Bake on the lower end of time range for extra fudgy brownies. Let brownies cool fully before slicing for best texture.
