Why I Love These Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Brownies
These fudgy, rich brownies are my go-to treat when I want something chocolatey, satisfying, and a little more nourishing than your average dessert. Sweet potatoes not only add natural sweetness and moisture, but they’re also packed with vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants — so your brownies come with a little bonus glow-up.
If you’re following a plant-based or gluten-free lifestyle, this recipe is perfect. It’s made with simple pantry ingredients, no refined flours, and zero dairy — just wholesome goodness in every bite.
These sweet potato gluten-free brownies are:
Vegan and dairy-free
Made without refined sugar (you can use coconut sugar or maple)
Naturally gluten-free (just be sure to use certified GF oats or flour)
Freezer-friendly and meal-prep approved
Want a richer texture? Stir in chopped walnuts or vegan chocolate chips before baking.Need it nut-free? Swap almond butter for sunflower seed butter.

I made the Sweet Potato Brownies today. It did not bake for 30 minutes. I had to bake in 15 minutes increments, three times. It turned out perfect! I chose to microwave the potatoes instead of roast them. Since I bake sweet potatoes pies, it took around the same amount of minutes.
Thank you so much for this recipe! Absolutely delicious and healthy!
My brownies came out like a really smooth moose. It was delicious, just not a brownie. In a parfaigh with some whipped cream maybe. Followed recipe.
