Ingredients

1 cup creamy almond butter or sunbutter or peanut butter
3/4 cup sweet potato puree I used this method to cook it
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk almond butter, sweet potato, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
1 cup creamy almond butter, 3/4 cup sweet potato puree, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and stir until just combined.
1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp sea salt
Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips until just combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
Cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

These brownies are perfect for make-ahead baking. After cooling, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They stay dense, moist, and fudgy, making them an easy lunchbox or after-school treat.
They also freeze well. Slice the brownies, freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. They’ll keep for up to three months, which makes them great to have on hand for quick desserts or weekend treats.
