Hey Erin I’m wanting to try these without the cocoa powder. Are you thinking 1/3 more flour or some cornstarch or something to make up the difference?
Thanks and I really enjoy your page,
Hi Keegan! So glad that you are! For these I’ve only tested it with the cocoa powder, so I can’t give specifics on what to substitute instead. Leaving it out and adding more flour might work. I wouldn’t use cornstarch. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Hello! I tried this recipe, and it looks just like the one you baked. It taste good, and is thick and has a lot of chocolate. I like sweet potato pie, and I like brownies so I thought this would be a good mash up! Thank you! God bless you, and Jesus loves u!
Excellent! It took at least 10 more minutes to cook as we live in high altitude. I also cut the syrup measurement back to 2/3 cup and it was plenty sweet. My granddaughter said turned her nose up when I told her they were made with sw potato but then she tasted and loved them!
I am in love. They are fudgy for sure.
Kids and I love them. Husband says, they don’t taste like a brownie. Oh well, he is already ruined by the sugar laden ones. We love them.
Super fun to make, since I have been searching for a good recipe with good measurements so thank you. I cant wait to see how they come out from the oven. This really helped my want of implementing healthier ingredients so that I have better baked treats to give to family and friends! Maybe this will make the list for the bake sale brownie I make for my non profit organization :)
my goodness thank you! these were absolutely delicious been trying to reduce eating so many cakes and had no hope for these but was so suprised have made a big batch for my roommates!!
These are excellent tasting brownies I swapped the coconut oil for whole peanut butter and it was delicious. Thank you for the recipe Erin I have favourited it 😊
These brownies were amazing! So light yet still super chocolatey. Would definitely recommend. I made it with the slight tweak of adding half a cup of self-raising flour instead of the baking powder to thicken my batter and turned out completely fine.
I thought these were yummy. They had a little bit of a strong cinnamon and nutmeg flavor but I liked that. I added some dark chocolate chips to the top like in the picture and think they are even better when they are in the freezer vs. the fridge. They are definitely a healthier option to a chocolate treat than a regular brownie.
This recipe is fantastic! I had to sub raw cane sugar for the maple syrup (as I was out), but it still turned out wonderful. I also added a cup of walnuts for extra protein and that nice crunchy texture.
Thrilled by how it all turned out. Thank you for posting this. :)
I would make this recipe again. They taste really good! I doubled the recipe and made a 9×13 size. They taste more like fudge to me, I will make again and add pecans :)
flavor is outstanding. Great way to use up misc chocolate candy bits. Used the syrup from the canned sweet potatoes instead of maple syrup. Augmented the can with real steamed sweet potatos. Added 1/4 cup sugar after tasting batter. Used almond butter because someone suggested it in recipe comments.
Followed recipe and baking instructions and found the brownies to be very rubbery. Not doughy or chewy, but rubbery… did not over mix and can’t figure out why they have the consistency if day old yorkshire puddings..
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe, AT. The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself (and others) so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you.
The nutmeg was not a good combo with the chocolate and overall, the texture was nice but the chocolate flavor was pretty pale. I’d up the cocoa and chocolate chips and remove the pumpkin spices.
I’m sorry to hear the recipe wasn’t to your taste, Naomi. I know it’s disappointing to try a new recipe and not enjoy it. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed it, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too!
I would not make these again, it has a rubbery texture, and the nutmeg made for a bad taste. It’s true I made some changes: no white whole wheat flour so used half whole wheat and half white flour. Ran out of maple syrup so substituted date syrup.
I tried to like them, but couldn’t, neither could by husband.

Hi! Could I use pumpkin instead of sweet potato?
Hi Jackie, I haven’t tried it myself, but pumpkin should work. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!

Delicious! I added some milk to thin my batter a little bit :)

Hi Erin – my son has a coconut intolerance…can I substitute the oil with butter?
Hi Shelby, I haven’t tried it but I think it could work. If you decide to experiment, let us know how it goes!

I would make this recipe again.
I couldn’t find white whole wheat flour so used regular white flour. These are rich and dense.
Thanks Jill!

Hi Griselda! I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy them, I would encourage you to try the recipe as is and see how it goes!
These are our go to healthy brownies, super moist and delicious.
So glad to hear, Becky! Thank you!
