Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato about 1 medium roasted potato
  • ½ cup brewed coffee strong and bossy
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix mashed sweet potato, coffee, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla until smooth and slightly suspiciously silky.
  • Add cocoa, almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the batter looks rich enough to file taxes.
  • Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using. Pour into the pan and smooth the top with sass.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (fudge lovers, rejoice).
  • Cool for at least 10 minutes—good luck with that. Slice and serve with smug pride.

✨ Tips to Elevate the Flavor

  • Use espresso for a bold kick, like coffee that means business.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne for surprise heat—your brownies, your rules.
  • Let them chill in the fridge for a firmer, denser bite.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling extra (you always are).
  • Store in an airtight container, if you manage to have leftovers.
