Equipment

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sweet potatoes (mashed) (approx 1 medium sweet potato or 2 small sweet potatoes)
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • ½ cup chocolate chips ¼ cup in batter and ¼ cup sprinkled on top
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (pure Grade A maple syrup)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 40 g almond flour
  • 40 g raw cacao powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon milk dairy or non-dairy

Instructions

  • Cook sweet potatoes until soft, then mash until smooth.
  • In a bowl, combine almond butter with mashed sweet potato.
  • Add in the maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  • Add almond flour into a separate bowl. Sift in the cacao powder and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a sticky batter. Add in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread batter evenly in a lined square baking tin/pan (8"x 8"). Bake in the air fryer at 160°C/320°F (bake setting) for 10 minutes. (For oven method see tips below)
  • Allow to cool slightly before transferring onto a cooling rack/wire rack. Slice into squares. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

    • Sweet potato prep: Ensure the sweet potatoes are thoroughly cooked, peeled and mashed for a smooth consistency. This recipe uses ⅓ cup mashed sweet potato, this is approximately 1 medium sweet potato or 2 small sweet potatoes. If you are using purple sweet potatoes opt for smaller sized sweet potatoes. 
    • Chocolate chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter. Sprinkle more on top. The chocolate chips are a must for these brownies! 
    • Mix well: ensure the ingredients are mixed well for the best texture. Use a silicone spatula to mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
    • Oven: To bake in the oven you will need slightly longer than the air fryer (approx. 15 minutes at 175°C/347°F, or until the brownie is cooked).
