EASY SWEET POTATO BROWNIE RECIPE
This recipe was the final result of a lot of tries, failures until finally I got the measurements right.
When I researched healthy brownie recipes, I found they were so complicated or really high in fake sugar, fats and calories.
Some recipes were clean but packed with calories.
This recipe is the perfect combination of a decadent flavor and that texture that brownies must have, and most importantly everything was added in healthy portions.
These brownies are excellent for family reunions, bbq’s and any other get together.
You and your kids will love them!!
Quickly whip them up in a high power blender, such as a Blendtec or Vitamix! Be sure to join our community for more healthy dessert recipes and tips from Blender Babes and our friends! If you try these easy sweet potato brownies let us know by rating it in the comments. HAPPY BLENDING! 🙂

BLENDER BABES RECIPE TESTER NOTES
“Very moist, not dry or flaky, and it doesn’t fall apart!
It stayed together very well and the taste is really great.
I can’t even taste the sweet potatoes!
I bet you can surprise people at your holiday gathering that it is healthy, and surprise them even more when you tell them it has sweet potato in it. Just don’t tell them til AFTER, so when they take a bite of it, they can be shocked how yummy it is!”
HEALTH BENEFITS OF SWEET POTATOS
Sweet potato is grown throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions.
The tuberous root features an oblong/elongated shape with tapering ends and has smooth outer skin whose color ranges from red, purple, brown, and white, depending upon the variety.
The sweet potato is also great for you providing a good amount of vital minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium that are very essential for enzyme, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism.
Tasty and moist, but I can taste the sweet potato slightly, and they have a cake-like texture, not a brownie texture.
Also, when I calculated the calories on MyFitnessPal, I got 68 cal/brownie (9 servings) (which jumped to 114 cal/brownie when I added a half cup of optional semi-sweet choc chips to the top). W/o the choc chips, the brownies are not very sweet.
I baked them in an 8×8 pan, lined with parchment paper. I don’t think there’s any way to have spread them out into a 9×13 pan.
Hi, Ann! So happy you were able to try the recipe! Feel free to substitute ingredients to fit your palate. The brownies are very tasty and you may taste a hint of the sweet potato, but rest assured it won’t over power the brownie. If you’re serving to friends they may not even notice. You can also scale back the chocolate chips is you’re looking to cut calories. An 8×8 pan is perfect for this serving. Glad you enjoyed them! If you get a chance take a photo and share them in the Blender Babes Facebook Community, I’m sure others would love to see how they turned out.
Warm Hugs XOXO
They sound yummy; can’t wait to try them.
Questions:
1. I don’t have almond butter. Can I use coconut oil, or real butter?
2. Can I make them in the food processor instead of a Vitamix?
3. What size pan do you bake them in?
In the nutritional data, you said serving side is “1”. How big is each serving? Only 50 calories each?!
Hi, Ann!
1. Absolutely you can substitute the Almond Butter. However, for Almond Butter, you may want to use another nut butter similar in consistency. So a Cashew butter, tahini (sesame butter), or peanut butters are good substitute. Here is a list of nut butter substitutes you can review.
2. You can absolutely use a food processor, instead of a Vitamix.
3. A 9×13 inch pan should be fine for these brownies. Each pan should make 9 brownies. Each brownie is about 50 calories.
Let me know if you have any other questions, Ann! Thanks!
Wow!!
This Sounds soo good and Tasty!!
Thanks for sharing the Brownie recipe
It’s delicious! Hope you enjoyed it Genevia! 🙂
That’s such a small amount of sweet potato… how can this recipe possibly serve 9
Hey Andrea! Honestly I think the author’s brownie portions are smaller than the size I cut haha! 😉 I usually double the recipe anyway to make more. Let me know how it turns out for you! Warm Hugs, ~Tarashaun
What size pan is needed for this recipe? It’s not mentioned in the recipe, unless I missed it some how?
Also, 5/8 cup would be 10 TB, correct?
This recipe looks fantastic. I do not have any stevia on hand, though. If I wanted to sub in honey, how much do you think I would need? Thank you!
