In a video shared on Instagram, Sameera Reddy offered a step-by-step demonstration with energetic gestures, disclosing that the main ingredient of the brownie is steamed sweet potato (rather than refined flour or butter-heavy mixes). This delightful eggless brownie also uses cocoa powder, jaggery, oat flour, peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda and a dash of oil, she explains. Moreover, she compares relishing the batter to "eating guilt-free cookie dough." Find the detailed recipe below:
Sameera Reddy's Sweet Potato Brownie Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 large steamed, well-mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup peanut or almond butter (or allergy-friendly substitute)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp flour (oat /white/almond) - Oat flour is just oats in a mixer
- Half cup mini chocolate chips. You can add more chocolate chips to make it sweeter
- 2/3rd cup jaggery powder or sugar-free alternative
- 6 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 and a half tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine the nut butter, vanilla, jaggery, and boiled sweet potato puree until smooth.
- Add baking soda, oat flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well and add oil to bind.
- Add chocolate chips on top or fold them in.
- Evenly spread the batter and, if needed, add more chocolate chips.
- Bake until barely set, about 25 minutes.
- Let it cool completely for the best fudgy texture.
Reddy also shared a few essential tips for the best results:
- Do not add water to the dough while binding
- Instead of using water to steam the sweet potatoes, add two teaspoons of ghee and cook under low pressure.
As per Sameera Reddy, the recipe is "a grounding, guilt-free brownie that supports gut health, energy, and balance—one mindful bite at a time."
