Chocolate is rich in magnesium. When that craving hits, it could be your body signaling you to find some. Enter our Sweet Potato Brownies—the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth and nourish your body.

Why sweet potato, you ask? These brownies aren’t just a treat, they’re also packed with the goodness of purple sweet potatoes and loaded with antioxidants for an extra health boost. And the best part? No need to pre-cook the sweet potato, we kept it super easy!

Our favorite way to enjoy brownies in our luteal phase is with a generous sprinkle of our beeya seed cycling blends, which can do amazing things for your hormonal health.

Serves: 12 squares
Prep time: 5 mins
Bake time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Brownies:

  • ½ cup sweet potato (any color), finely minced
  • ⅓ cup cacao
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp collagen or gelatin powder
  • ½ cup nut butter (cashew or almond work well)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp melted ghee or grass-fed butter
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Frosting:

Steps:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. 
  2. To finely mince the raw sweet potato, peel and dice the sweet potato, then toss it in a food processor and pulse until well minced. 
  3. Add the minced sweet potato and the rest of the ingredients to a bowl and stir together until combined. 
  4. Pour the brownie batter into a parchment paper lined 6” baking form. Bake for 18-22 minutes (a shorter baking time will yield a fudgier brownie, longer will be more cake like. You can also use a different size form but adjust baking time accordingly in that case.)
  5. Allow the brownies to cool before making the frosting. Make the frosting by gently melting the chocolate and coconut cream together.
  6. Frost the brownies and allow some time for the frosting to set, the fridge will speed things up. Cut into squares to serve and enjoy with a scoop of beeya for a hormone supporting treat.
