Mashed sweet potato and smooth almond butter form the fudgy base of these deep, chocolatey brownies, sweetened naturally with maple syrup and given depth from unsweetened cocoa powder. The batter comes together thick and glossy in one bowl, then gets studded with melty chocolate chips before baking into a dense, fudge-like square with set, crackly edges. A short cool-down in the pan is key here — it lets the center firm up so each square lifts out clean and holds its shape when sliced. Rich, satisfying, and naturally gluten free thanks to the sweet potato and almond butter base, these are a great pick for an egg free treat that still delivers that classic brownie chew. Keep them stashed in the fridge for a fudgier bite straight from the pan.
