The secret to macro-friendly brownies

Why sweet potatoes?

Sweet potatoes make the brownies naturally sweet, so you don’t need a lot of sugar. They also make the brownies very moist and fudgy. They are a good source of fiber and vitamins, like Vitamin A. Sweet potatoes also help make a lot of batter, so you get a more satisfying treat.

Why nut butter?

Nut butter is a great part of this recipe. It has healthy fats that help you feel full. It also makes the brownies taste nutty and rich. Nut butter gives the brownies a smooth and dense texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, nut butter, liquid sweetener, and cacao powder.

Step 2: Stir ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Step 3: Line your brownie pan with parchment paper. Pour in the brownie batter. Gently fold in any chocolate chips or nuts. And bake.

Step 4:Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for the best texture.

Customizing Your Brownies

• Nut butters: You could swap out the almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter.
• Extra Goodies: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and savory contrast.
