Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy almond butter

- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips, divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter, sweet potato, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and let cool in the pan. Cut into squares.
Notes
Cooling the brownies in the pan helps them set up for easier slicing.
Feel free to substitute almond butter with another nut or seed butter if preferred.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
