Read our Privacy Policy Four-ingredient brownie recipe Ingredients Three cups cooked sweet potato, mashed Three-quarter cup of cocoa powder 1.5 cups nut butter Three-quarter cup maple syrup Trending Method Preparing the brownie mixture is easy to do in a hurry as all of the ingredients can be combined in one bowl. For the smoothest consistency, a food processor is recommended, but if the sweet potato is cooked until very soft, manual mashing will suffice.

Combine the mashed sweet potato, nut butter, and maple syrup in a bowl or food processor. If using a bowl, sieve in the cocoa powder and mix thoroughly to thicken the blend. Transfer the mixture to a small square baking tray or loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175C for 12-15 minutes. Aim to remove the brownies while they're still slightly gooey inside to achieve that irresistibly soft texture..
