Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 blondies
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup nut butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mashed sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 1/4 cup of nut butter. Use a fork or a whisk to mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the sweet potato mixture. Stir until all dry ingredients are fully incorporated and a thick batter forms.
- Fold in 1/4 cup of vegan chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 8 squares and enjoy your delicious Sweet Potato Blondies!
Tips
- Make sure your sweet potatoes are well-mashed and smooth to ensure a consistent texture in your blondies.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and a more uniform batter.
- Don't overmix the batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the blondies tender.
- For extra richness, try using almond or cashew butter instead of traditional nut butter.
- Let the blondies cool completely before cutting to help them set and achieve the perfect texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For added nutrition, you can sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before baking for extra crunch.
