1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup oat flour
1 scoop AstroFlav Chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1/2 cup almond butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a medium sized bowl, add mashed sweet potato, oat flour, protein powder, cacao powder, almond butter, maple syrup, egg, baking soda, and vanilla
Mix all ingredients with a hand held mixer. Blending all ingredients in a high speed blender works as well.
Once the consistency is like brownie batter, fold in chocolate chips.
Pour in prepared oven-safe dish and smooth out with spatula or butter knife.
Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for any batter that sticks until perfectly baked!
Let cool and enjoy!
Recipe notes:
Bake or microwave sweet potato to soften.
To make brownies vegan:You can replace egg with 2 flax eggs.
Add almond milk if batter is dry. I started out with a few tablespoons cup and gradually poured in until brownie consistency.
