How You’ll Make It
1. Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mash: Mash the sweet potato in a bowl until smooth. If needed, blend it for an extra creamy texture.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and avocado oil (if using). Stir until well combined.
4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Combine wet and dry: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top. Bake for **20–25 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool & Set: Let it cool in the pan for at least **15 minutes** before slicing. This helps it firm up and develop the fudgy texture.
8. Indulge! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Notes:
- If you prefer extra fudgy brownies, refrigerate them after cooling for a few hours.
- Want a richer taste? Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor!
