How to Make Healthy Fudgy Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with grapeseed oil.
  3. Melt 1 cup (200g) of dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate, 1 cup (200g) cooked and pureed sweet potato, ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup (60ml) grapeseed oil, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Whisk in 1 large egg until fully incorporated.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix!
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or drizzle with your favorite chocolate frosting for an extra decadent touch!
