Vegan sweet potato brownies are a super dense and moist brownie compared to others - almost like fudge. Topping them with peanut butter tames the richness of the cocoa and adds a salty element to the treat. Cook up this amazing healthy vegan brownie recipe and watch them disappear.
Sweet potatoes may arguably be my favorite food. I've never met a form of sweet potato I don't like - fries, baked, mashed, cubed, diced real tiny, or even snuck into a dessert or breakfast loaf (see chocolate sweet potato loaf for more on that).
Adding sweet potatoes to baked goods not only adds some natural sweetness but also changes the texture making it denser and richer.
The combination of vegan chocolate and sweet potatoes works perfectly in brownies because the rich, strong flavor of the cocoa really camouflages the flavor of sweet potato so you get all the benefits in the texture along with all the fudgy flavor you expect in a brownie.
Want more plant-based dessert inspiration? This creamy chocolate avocado pudding, beet energy balls, and blackberry chocolate cupcakes will definitely do the trick.

No, this vegan sweet potato brownies recipe is full of rich, chocolate flavor which camouflages the mild flavor of the sweet potato.
Brownies are more fudgy thanks to additional oil and fat but you can also use sweet potatoes to create the same fudgy texture for a healthy and delicious oil-free brownie everyone will love.
