Vegan 3-Ingredient No-Guilt Brownie
Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed sweet potato: This will be the base of our brownies, providing natural sweetness and a fudgy texture.
- 1/2 cup agave syrup: A natural sweetener that keeps the brownies refined sugar-free. You can also use maple syrup or date syrup if you prefer.
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder: For that rich, chocolatey flavor. Make sure it’s unsweetened and high-quality.
Optional Add-ins:
- 2 tbsp nut butter or coconut oil: For added richness and moisture. Almond butter, peanut butter, or coconut oil work great.
- A pinch of salt: Enhances the flavors.
- Chopped nuts: Walnuts, pecans, or almonds add a nice crunch.
- Melted dark chocolate: Drizzle on top for extra decadence.
Instructions:
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and chop 2-3 medium sweet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of the mashed sweet potato.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Prepare your baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, agave syrup, and cocoa powder. Stir until well combined and smooth. If using, add the nut butter or coconut oil, salt, and any chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack: Carefully transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up.
- Cut and serve: Once the brownies are firm, cut them into squares and serve warm. They taste amazing fresh out of the oven!
- Next-day delight: If you can wait, these brownies taste even better the next day. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
Enjoy your delicious, guilt-free, vegan brownies! 🥰🍫
