Gluten Free Sweet Potato Brownies No Sugar
I’ll take you along what it takes to make this healthy sweet potato brownies recipe. It is extremely to know why and how we use certain ingredients that are healthy and substitute the conventional ingredients of regular fudgy brownies from scratch.
Gluten free: in this recipe I am using oat flour as I found out it is the best and cheapest alternative to conventional flour. Just put the regular oats you have at home in a blender, blend until it becomes a fine flour and there it is! But you can easily turn it into a gluten free sweet potato brownies recipe by using another kind of flour such as chickpea flour, coconut flour, almond flour etc. Importantly, to check the consistency of the cake, as different flours need and absorb different amounts of liquid. Coconut flour requires much more than chickpea flour for example.
No sugar: even though this sugar free sweet potato brownies recipe does not contain any granulated sugar, it is deliciously sweet. It is sugar free because we obtain the sweetness from dates, banana and syrup. I recommend to use soft dates and agave syrup, but you can also use any other natural syrup, but check on the sweetness of the syrup, as it may differ.
Fudgy Brownies Recipe From Scratch
When it comes to the classic fudgy brownies recipe, this is definitely it! It is fudgy and chocolatey, so it already fulfills the purpose of brownies! The key here the ratio of the ingredients, less flour and more fat, but for this easy sweet potato brownies recipe, we use a lot of sweet potato which ultimately makes it super fudgy!
Also, the baking part is important, not to bake it for too long, otherwise the brownies become dry, this is definitely not what we want. The brownies should be baked on normal heat, but for a short amount of time is important, this way they are well baked from the outside and still a bit soft and fudgy from the inside.
Low Calorie Brownies
For these sweet potato brownies no sugar is needed, also they contain less and only healthy fat, less flour but more sweet potato, which makes them to the ultimate low calorie brownies and high in proteins. Sweet potatoes are known as protein foods and so are eggs, as both are part of this recipe, I would say it is full of proteins.
It is also a low calorie brownies recipe and only contains a bit of coconut oil, and coconut oil is one of the best ingredients in the healthy sweet potato brownies recipe! I absolutely love coconut! So believe me, it needs to be in there. Healthy cakes without fat are okay, but I recommend to not compromise to add this little bit of healthy fat, it makes a huge difference in taste and is of course healthy! More than that coconut oil is healthy fat and only benefits your body in small amounts
