Fudgiest Sweet Potato Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet potato

• ⅓ cup peanut butter (I used Teddie Old Fashioned Smooth peanut butter)

• ⅓ cup maple syrup 

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• ⅓ cup flour (I used almond flour)

• ½ cup cocoa powder 

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

• Sea Salt (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease and 8inX8in pan. 

2. Peel the sweet potato and chop into half-inch dice. Put diced sweet potatoes in a large pot. Pour just enough water to cover the sweet potatoes into the pot. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork (about 10 minutes). Strain and let cool. 

3. In a large mixing bowl, blend sweet potatoes, peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth. 

4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and salt. 

5. Blend dry ingredients into the sweet potato mixture. Fold in ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips. 

6. Spread batter into the pan and cook for 20-24 minutes. Let cool in the pan before cutting.

7. Sprinkle with sea salt and enjoy!
