Ingredients
Scale
1 large sweet potato (about 1 1/2 cups mashed)
1/2 cup almond butter

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Bake the sweet potato until very soft. Let it cool, then peel and mash it.

Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
