Sweet Potato Protein Brownies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 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

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. In a medium sized bowl, add mashed sweet potato, oat flour, protein powder, cacao powder, almond butter, maple syrup, egg, baking soda, and vanilla

  3. Mix all ingredients with a hand held mixer. Blending all ingredients in a high speed blender works as well.

  4. Once the consistency is like brownie batter, fold in chocolate chips.

  5. Pour in prepared oven-safe dish and smooth out with spatula or butter knife.

  6. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for any batter that sticks until perfectly baked!

  7. 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.
