These No-Bake Sweet Potato Brownies are rich, fudgy, and decadent. They’re grain-free, Paleo, vegan, and made with just 6 simple ingredients!
How can I best describe these brownies?? Well, fudgy, dense, rich, and chocolatey are the first words that come to mind. I made these No-Bake Sweet Potato Brownies last weekend after a night out with friends. I came home late at night, craving something smooth and chocolatey that could be made in less than 15 minutes. After all, I wanted to crash on the couch under my cozy blanket with a warm cup of tea and Netflix as soon as possible 😉 Opened the fridge and found a single baked sweet potato and that’s when I saw these brownies in my head!
They consist of only 6 ingredients–most of which you probably already have in the pantry/fridge–with no baking required. No gluten, no dairy, and no eggs either! The best part about that is you can nibble on the batter as you’re preparing them without having to worry about foodborne illnesses caused by raw eggs 😉
Sweet Potatoes Nutrition
Sweet potatoes give these brownies the dense and rich texture that makes them similar to fudge. Not only do sweet potatoes taste like a treat and work perfectly in desserts, but they also provide some incredible health benefits. Sweet potatoes are an excellent beta-carotene and vitamin A source, which shines through their beautiful orange flesh. They are also high in vitamin C, manganese, copper, various B vitamins, vitamin E, potassium, and fiber. The combination of beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E makes sweet potatoes one heck of a “beauty food” that contributes to a glowing complexion and vibrant hair.
