These healthy brownies are beyond moist, chocolatey, and super nutritious. Gluten-free, and easily made dairy-free, and vegan. Win-win on all accounts!!!
Sweet Potato is the secret ingredient to these brownies being super moist. I know you are hesitant but I promise you would never know that these brownies have a vegetable. The nutrient profile of these brownies is too good to be true. Made with wholesome and superfood ingredients like almond butter, coconut oil, oat flour, and cacao powder.
Sweet potatoes add fibre as well as many vitamins and minerals to our diet. In particular, sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene (antioxidant), which converts to vitamin A once eaten.
Almond butter provides a high and excellent source of plant protein as well as good fat. Almond butter contains monounsaturated fats which can help to decrease our “bad” (LDL) cholesterol and raise our “good” (HDL) cholesterol.
You must give these fudgy brownies a try. I promise they will be a hit.
