Ingredients in Keto Sweet Potato Brownies

Here are the simple ingredients in these fudgy sweet potato brownies that will delight your taste buds.

The Low Carb Brownie Batter Rivals Regular Brownies

Dry Ingredients

• UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER OR RAW CACAO POWDER: For dark chocolate sweet potato brownies with a really intense chocolate flavor, use half regular cocoa powder and half Dutched cocoa powder.
• GRANULATED SWEETENER OF CHOICE: Use a sugar free sweetener such as keto-friendly monk fruit with allulose.
• PSYLLIUM HUSK: As a binder.
• BAKING POWDER: Adds some rise to this veggie dessert.
• SEA SALT (Optional): Enhances the flavor of the healthy sweet potato brownies by bringing out the rich chocolate taste.

Wet Ingredients

• ORANGE SWEET POTATO: Puréed sweet potato is the main ingredient.
• ALMOND BUTTER: Adds moisture and a rich, fudgy texture to these veggie brownies.
• OIL: Adds moisture to this vegan sweet potato brownie recipe. Avocado oil is my go-to oil because it’s a little healthier than most oils, but vegetable or canola oil also work. As for coconut oil, it works too, but it’s important to bear in mind that it is very high in saturated fat which can raise your bad cholesterol. The recipe, however, only contains 3 tablespoons of oil.
• NON-DAIRY MILK OF CHOICE: For the least calories, opt for unsweetened almond milk.

How to Make Keto Sweet Potato Brownies: Step-by-Step Instructions

These grain free, low carb sweet potato brownies are really easy to make, since you just mix the ingredients together and bake.

You’ll find the full recipe with measurements below in the Recipe Card, but here’s an overview.

Roast the Sweet Potatoes

I recommend baking the sweet potato a few hours in advance, because it’s really easy to peel the skin off a cool potato.

1. Firstly, bake the sweet potato at 425℉ (220℃) on a baking sheet for 35-40 minutes.
2. Then, give the potato a few minutes to cool.
3. Next, peel off the skin.
4. Then, mash the sweet potato with a fork until smooth, or use a hand-held immersion blender or food processor to make the sweet potato puree. To make one batch of brownies, you need one cup of puréed sweet potato.

3. Mix the ingredients together with an electric mixer.
4. Once the flourless brownie batter is smooth and creamy, pour it into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes.
5. Once the brownies are out of the oven, let them cool for 10 minutes before flipping the pan and removing the brownies.
