If you are yet to jump on board the sweet potato brownie bandwagon, we absolutely insist that you do. I was a little hesitant to try it, I’ll admit, but these well and truly exceeded my expectations. They are rich and chocolatey, fudgey and delicious.
For those concerned, you can’t actually taste the sweet potato. It just adds to the soft texture, adds natural sweetness, as well as contributing to its nutritional value. As these brownies are also vegan, the sweet potato is an important ingredient to help bind the mixture.
