Why Sweet Potato Brownie Bites Are a Smart Choice

Sweet potatoes add natural sweetness and moisture, reducing the need for added sugars or artificial sweeteners. They also provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals that support digestion and energy levels. Using Medjool dates as a natural sweetener brings a rich caramel flavor and extra nutrients, making these bites both tasty and nourishing.

Compared to traditional brownies loaded with sugar and refined flour, these bites offer:

• Lower glycemic impact thanks to natural sweeteners and whole-wheat flour

• Added fiber and antioxidants from sweet potatoes and cocoa powder

• Healthy fats from unsalted butter, supporting satiety and brain health

• Protein and structure from eggs, helping keep you full longer

  
  

This recipe fits well into the Eat Well Nutrition program, designed for those who want an easy, effective way to eat well for life without feeling deprived.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 medium sweet potato (about 10 ounces)

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

• ¾ teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)

• 12 Medjool dates, pitted (about 1 cup packed)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 large eggs

  
  

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the sweet potato

   Preheat your oven to 350°F. Pierce the sweet potato all over with a fork, wrap it in a damp paper towel, and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for about 8 minutes, turning halfway, until tender. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Cut in half and scoop out about ¾ cup of flesh.

   
   

2. Mix dry ingredients

   In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder if using.

   
   

3. Process wet ingredients

   In a food processor, combine the pitted dates, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sweet potato flesh. Process until mostly smooth, about 1 minute. Add eggs and pulse 2 to 3 times until combined. Scrape down the sides and pulse once more.

   
   

4. Combine mixtures

   Add the wet date mixture to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined.

   
   

5. Bake the bites

   Coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the batter evenly among the cups (about 1½ tablespoons each). Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool before removing.

   
   

Tips for Success and Variations

• Make it vegan: Substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use coconut oil instead of butter.

• Add nuts or seeds: Fold in chopped walnuts or pumpkin seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.

• Spice it up: Add cinnamon or chili powder for a warm, spicy twist.

• Storage: Keep bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
