Brownies are heavenly, isn’t it? I am sure you will appreciate me coming right to the point. 🙂 Who doesn’t love these gooey fudgy brownies.  They taste the best when warm. I love topping them with different sauces like a Salted Caramel Sauce or with ice cream.

If you love brownies a lot and look for healthy options then these Sweet Potato chocolate brownies are an answer for you. Adding sweet potato makes them so rich and dense and gorgeous. The best part is that you won’t taste them at all. Plus they are super healthy and incredible. These are my grain-free brownies, I have used almond flour and oats flour in this. Which is why they are so light and soft. But you like to add some flour and want brownies which retain their perfect shapes, you can try out these Ragi Chocolate brownies I made a few months back.

Also,  if like me you are a chocolate aficionado, then you have got to try these intense chocolate cake recipes – Eggless Chocolate Buttermilk Cake and this Ragi, Dark Chocolate and Orange Cake.

VARIATIONS:

  1. Oil: You can use any flavorless oil in these brownies. Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, or flaxseed oil are some of the top choices. I used melted coconut oil.
  2. Milk: I love adding a little milk to the mixture to bring it all together nicely. For a vegan version, use almond milk or coconut milk or oats milk.
  3. Flour: I have made a grain-free version and have used a mix of almond and oats flour. You can also replace the oats flour with regular whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.
