Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato cooled
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk sweet potato, honey/maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk cocoa powder, almond flour, and baking powder.
  4. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; add chocolate chips if using.
  5. Spread batter evenly in pan and bake 25–30 minutes until edges are set and center appears slightly underdone.
  6. Cool in pan for 2 hours before slicing for perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

Measure sweet potato after cooking and draining. Do not overbake—residual heat finishes the cooking for optimal fudginess.
