These ultra fudgy sweet potato brownies are going to blow up your mind! I promise you would not be able to tell they are vegan and they have sweet potatoes. I made them for Johny and he was shocked when I told him the ingredients…
Super easy to make, few ingredients and 1 bowl so almost no cleaning required. If you happen to already have sweet potato puree then you will considerably reduce the total time.
Sweet potatoes promote gut health and support your immune system (1) so eating something as delicious as these brownies and knowing how healthy they are is just a perfect combo.
If you like healthy treats or desserts, I recommend you to have a look at my vegan banana bread, also made just using 1 bowl and incredibly delicious.
