Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and position the oven rack in the center. Line an 20 cm x 20 cm (8 in x 8 in) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes, 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1/3 cup peanut butter. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until the batter is smooth and well-combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are fully integrated into a thick, glossy batter.
Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips evenly into the batter, ensuring they’re distributed throughout without overmixing.
Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to the edges using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and the center is set with a soft, fudgy texture. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes. This helps enhance the fudgy texture.
After cooling, lift the brownies out of the pan using the excess parchment paper. Let them cool completely on the wire rack for an additional 30 minutes before cutting into squares for serving.

Creating variations of these fudgy gluten-free sweet potato brownies is a delightful experience, but presenting them beautifully adds an extra touch.
