How to Make Sweet Potato Brownies with Avocado Frosting

Ingredients

For the Brownies:

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
1/2 cup almond flour (or any preferred flour)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

For the Avocado Frosting:

1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownies:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely.

2. Make the Avocado Frosting:

In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe avocado, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
