There’s something so sinful about biting into a rich, decadent brownie. The flavor, bursting with chocolaty goodness, certainly makes its way into our food fantasies. Problem is, the drool-worthy dessert typically flaunts a calorie-heavy profile that can sabotage your health goals. But not this time! Here at Skinny Ms., we’d like to introduce you to our irresistible sweet potato fudge brownies. This mouthwatering brownie recipe not only tastes incredible; it packs in some amazing health benefits too.
Oh-So Satisfying Sweet Potato Brownies
Our sweet potato brownie recipe is literally what dreams are made of. And don’t let the vegetable in its title fool you! The sweet potato acts as an incredible brownie-binder, adding moisture and rich, gooey texture. Not to mention, it provides some natural sweetness and of course, a boatload of vitamins- but we’ll get into that later. You can’t taste the sweet potato, however you can taste the rich, fudgy consistency that it helps create.
Our healthy brownie recipe is a cinch to whip up, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These brownies call for 100% vegan, clean-eating ingredients and, best of all, no added sugar!
Nutritious superfoods such as Medjool dates and sweet potatoes sweeten these brownies naturally. Instead of using conventional butter, almond butter adds gooey texture and creamy flavor to these yummy delights. Finally, oat flour subs in for regular flour. This final touch contributes to the recipe’s impressively guilt-free profile.
