Yep, you read that right. We put together sweet potatoes, cocoa, and nut butter to come up with this gooey, fudge, gluten free and vegan brownie recipe. The sweet potato adds depth and moisture to this recipe where oil traditionally does. It’s low calorie and nutrient packed without a ton of added sugar or allergy ingredients. Hope you like brownies (I mean, who really doesn’t!?).
