I love to make flourless alternatives to classic brownies, like my Avocado Brownies, Applesauce Brownies, or Healthy Brownies. For the fall season, I wanted to make a version with my sweet potatoes and make them small, so I could put them in my kids’ lunchboxes.
Ingredients and Substitutions
You only need 4 ingredients for these brownie bites, but no flour at all!
Sweet Potato Puree– For the best flavor, use a well-mashed, cooled sweet potato. For a version with pumpkin puree, try my Pumpkin Brownie Bites or Healthy Banana Brownies for a banana version. Peanut Butter – Use smooth, natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil. Almond butter or sunflower seed butter are great alternatives for a different flavor or nut-free option. Maple Syrup – Pure maple syrup provides natural sweetness, but you can use agave syrup, coconut nectar, or date syrup as swaps. These may add subtle flavor differences but will maintain moisture. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Choose high-quality cocoa powder, as it intensifies the chocolate flavor. For a richer taste, use Dutch-processed cocoa if you prefer a darker, more chocolatey brownie.
