4 Ingredient Sweet Potato Brownies are thick, fudgy, and have a rich dark chocolate flavor. They're made with only a few wholesome ingredients, and are naturally a nut-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free.
Start by mashed sweet potato, eggs, cacao powder, and coconut sugar into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until batter is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the brownie batter into a 10" greased bread pan. Optional - top with chocolate chips!
Bake the brownies at 350° for about 20-25 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let them cool for at least 1 hour before cutting to allow them to set completely.
