  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

INGREDIENT NOTES:

OAT FLOUR:

  • When we add oat flour to our brownie mixture, we get a good shape of brownies, and they also do not feel very heavy. If you desire to use some other ingredient, you may use almond flour.

SWEET POTATO:

  • As the name of this recipe indicates, sweet potatoes are the main ingredient for this dessert. They provide the dessert a sweet taste with natural sugar, keeping the brownies moist. Mashed banana also works in place of a sweet potato.

EGGS:

  • We will need large eggs to have the soft brownies by rising them while baking. Another alternative to eggs is the flax egg for vegans.

MAPLE SYRUP:

  • This is a natural sweetener that sweetens our dessert and also combines the dessert mixture. Date syrup also works best in place of maple syrup.

COCOA POWDER:

  • The unsweetened cocoa powder gives the tasty chocolate flavor in brownies.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Vanilla essence balances the flavor and covers up the unpleasant smell of eggs.
