I will not easily say about a recipe it’s “the best” because tastes are so individual. But this simply is THE BEST healthy brownie I’ve ever made. Period.

Over the past years, I’ve experimented a lot with healthy brownie recipes. Some were quite successful, others closer to kitchen nightmares. But this one has instantly been adopted by husband, children, children’s friends, our friends, and anyone who ever came across this delicious chocolate brownie.

And no one has ever guessed its secret ingredient… SWEET POTATOES. This starchy vegetable is so versatile and its sweet taste makes it a perfect ingredient to use in desserts or sauces. Or for some, it makes an excellent candidate to trick picky little eaters into having veggies for dessert.

recipe are: almond butter, eggs, coconut oil, and raw cacao powder. This powerful combination of healthy ingredients raises this humble brownie to the level of a true superfood.

The texture is light and gooey and it tastes like real chocolate (not some sugar-loaded chocolate powder used in many commercial equivalents).

Tip: I usually throw a few whole sweet potatoes in the oven whenever I’m baking something. That way I always have a few ready to use in salads, sauces, or desserts. They usually take 45 minutes to an hour depending on their size. Make sure to pierce a few holes in the skin before baking.
