Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Sweet Potatoes - Start by cooking 1-2 medium white sweet potatoes until they are tender. Once cooked, allow them to cool slightly before peeling and mashing until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Preheat Oven - Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) while you prepare the batter. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Blend Ingredients - In a food processor, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and bananas. Add plant-based milk and blend until smooth. Incorporate dry ingredients until you achieve a thick, fudgy batter.
  4. Step 4: Transfer Batter - Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly.
  5. Step 5: Bake - Bake for 30-40 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
  6. Step 6: Cool & Serve - Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with vegan chocolate sauce if desired.

Choose white sweet potatoes for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5-7 days. These brownies taste even better the next day.
