This sweet potato brownie recipe is simply a crowd pleaser. It’s Fall or Autumn and it’s time for sweet potatoes, beetroots and corn. Sweet potatoes are the staple of most Fall/Autumn recipes and this September is no different. My favourite fudgy brownie recipe is happening!!!

Although this recipe is full fat and sugar all the way, every ingredient has a descent vegan or sugar-free substitute. The flour can also be replaced with whole-grains or nut flours such as almonds, oats or tigernuts. As different to a basic chocolate brownie recipe, the ratio of sweet potato to chocolate here is 2:1. To get that goey brownie center, we use a similar fat to flour ratio as 2:1. You can use olive oil or melted butter as fat and cocoa powder or chocolate for that rich chocolatey flavour.
If you are using a brownie mix, you would simply need 2(1/2) cups of brownie mix, 2 eggs and oil measurements as per pack instructions. You can boil, grill, steam or microwave the sweet potatoes to get them soft. Then simply peel off the back and mash with a fork. The Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg reminds you ‘It’s Fall’!!!.
Do not puree the sweet potatoes, as we want to bite into those sweet potato chunks. Do not be scared if you end up with a really thick batter. It should be thick from sweet potatoes not flour. I made a simple sweet potato chocolate topping with coconut milk, white chocolate and mashed pureed boiled sweet potatoes. This easy brownie recipe is a crowd pleaser and is perfect served warm with any caramel flavoured ice cream.
