Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato mash (see notes)
- ⅔ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ Tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup cacao powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅔ cup almond meal
- ½ cup chopped raw pecans (or sub walnuts, but we liked pecans better)
Method
- To make sweet potato mash, halve sweet potato and place on a lined baking tray. Bake at 200℃ for 20-25 minutes or until tender, let cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 180℃ and line a 20cm x 20cm baking pan with parchment baking paper.
- Peel away the skin of the sweet potato and discard. Place the sweet potato into the KitchenAid 9 cup food processor bowl and process on speed 2 until smooth. Add the baking powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and coconut oil and pulse 5-6 times until combined.
- Add almond meal cacao powder, sea salt, and baking powder pulse again until a thick, scoopable batter is achieved.
- Transfer batter to the lined baking pan and spread using a spoon or rubber spatula. Then top with pecans.
- Bake on the center rack for 25-30 minutes. The brownie edges should appear slightly dry and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan
- Lift out of the pan and slice. Enjoy warm or room temperature.
