Sweet Potato Brownies are the BEST nutrient rich dessert when you are craving something sweet, chocolaty and yet healthy. I have already made them multiple times already and no one could tell that they do not contain any refined flour, sugar or oil!! They are completely rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals and yet taste exactly like the regular chocolate brownies.
Sweet Potato is a root vegetable and a very good source of complex carbohydrates. It can be used in both savory as well as sweet recipes. Moreover, it is packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Due to the fiber present, it helps in promoting gut health and strengthen the immune system. In addition, various research and studies suggests that it has cancer fighting properties.
Hence, combining it with other highly nutritious food such as oats for binding and hazelnut butter for fat, makes this recipe one of its kind. In terms of sweetness, not a lot is required as sweet potatoes, as their name suggests, are naturally sweet. I have used maple syrup as added sweetener in this recipe.
