🍫 Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato, roasted or steamed)
1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter you love)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Sweeteners & Add-Ins
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
Optional Toppings
Dark chocolate chips
Crushed nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Flaky sea salt
👩🍳 How to Make Sweet Potato Brownie Bites
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mash and Mix
Peel and mash a cooked sweet potato until smooth, then measure out 1 cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until creamy and well blended.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder and baking powder.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a thick, chocolatey batter forms.
Step 4: Fill and Top
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Sprinkle with your choice of toppings—dark chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or a pinch of flaky sea salt.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes.
To check doneness, insert a toothpick—it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Step 6: Cool and Enjoy
Let the brownie bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm for gooey decadence or chilled for a denser texture.
💡 Tips & Tricks
Prep ahead: Roast or steam your sweet potato in advance to speed up prep time.
Go nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter for an allergen-friendly version.
Keep it fudgy: Don’t overbake—these bites should be moist and tender.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
✨ Variations
Double chocolate: Stir in mini chocolate chips for extra richness.
Spiced twist: Add 1/4 tsp cinnamon or cayenne for a unique flavor kick.
Protein-packed: Mix in a scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder (adjust with almond milk for consistency).
