Description
Sweet potato blondies are a healthy, chewy dessert that combines the sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich, buttery flavor of blondies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potato by microwaving it for 5-7 minutes until soft. Mash it until smooth.
- In a bowl, combine mashed sweet potato, peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix gently.
- Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan. Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be sure not to overmix the batter to maintain a soft texture.
- For a vegan version, use flax eggs and plant-based butter.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute almond flour or gluten-free flour blends.
- If using pumpkin or squash puree, ensure it’s properly measured to avoid excess moisture.
