How to make Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies
- Cook a sweet potato in the oven at 350 for about an hour. Make sure to poke with a fork a few times so it doesn’t explode.
- Allow sweet potato cool and then remove skin and mash with a fork in a large bowl.
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process on high until the batter becomes smooth and creamy, taking care to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Add batter to an 8×8 baking pan that is either lined with parchment paper or greased well.
- Top with additional chocolate chips or sea salt if desired. (optional)
- Bake at 350 for about 20-25 minutes. Be sure not to overcook them. You will know when they are done when you shake the pan and they don’t jiggle.
How to Store These Brownies
These brownies arenāt lasting long in our house, but my recommendation is to store leftover brownies in the fridge for up to one week. I havenāt tried freezing them, but Iām sure they would be okay to freeze in an airtight container for up to three months.
Are these brownies paleo?
Yes! Theyāre paleo because thereās no flour or refined sugar. These brownies are going to be LESS sweet than traditional brownies because they only use maple syrup as the sweetener, so if you want them to be sweeter you can add 2 tbsp coconut sugar or simply add chopped chocolate.
