Low-Fat Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour1 and 3/4 cups white sugar3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup mashed sweet potato1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (i had to add extra 2-3 tablespoons)1/3 cup water1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C for about 15 minutes
In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt
In another medium size bowl, beat together the mashed sweet potato, milk, water, and vanilla extract
Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and combine it together but make sure you don’t overmix
The batter felt a bit thick, so I added another 3 tablespoons of milk
Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips, if using
Line a 13×9 inch pan with aluminum foil with extra sheet hanging on the side so that you can lift it off the pan once it’s baked
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean
Mine was done in about 35 minutes
Take the pan out and cool it on a wire rack
After about 30 minutes lift the foil and place it on the rack for the brownie to cool completely before cutting into squares
