Super Rich Dark Chocolate Brownies (made with sweet potatoes)

These super rich brownies have an intense dark chocolate flavor.  It's hard to believe that they are made with mashed sweet potatoes.....yes, that's right.....sweet potatoes...
Don't worry...trust me, the taste is all yummy chocolate and that's all you will taste!


1 cup baked sweet potatoes, skin off and mashed
3 packets of stevia
2 eggs
9 tbsps. dark chocolate cocoa powder
2 squares of dark chocolate, chopped
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsps. almond flour
3 tbsps. coconut oil
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. fine texture sea salt
1 square of milk chocolate, chopped

  • In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, stevia, eggs, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, almond flour, coconut oil, baking soda and salt. 
  • Mix all ingredients together well with hand blender while scraping sides of bowl. 
  • Add the chopped dark chocolate and mix well with a spoon. 
  • I use a cupcake pan for easy portion control.  Grease cupcake pan with coconut oil.  Spoon mixture evenly into pan.  This recipe will yield 12 brownie cupcakes.
  • Sprinkle chopped milk chocolate on each brownie cupcake. 
  • Bake in preheated 325 degree F. oven for about 30-35 minutes. 
  • Let cool and enjoy.  I store my cupcake brownies once cooled in the fridge.  They are sooooo good!! Enjoy!
