I was searching Pinterest today for a clean version of brownies. Nothing really caught my attention so I thought I would just try to come up with my own recipe. I never follow a recipe exactly and was feeling pretty adventurous. I quickly grabbed all of the ingredients from my pantry and fridge that I thought I would need to make brownies and I actually decided to write down all of my measurements just in case they actually turned out.
Lilly helped me mix everything up and after 30 minutes we were chowing down on some pretty delicious brownies! I topped mine with a little bit of peanut butter because chocolate ALWAYS tastes better with peanut butter, right? Lilly wanted to top hers with some sprinkles instead. They are great plain, too! See below for the recipe...
Clean-Eating Chewy, Chocolate Brownies
Ingredients
1 lg egg
4 tbs agave nectar
3 tbs coconut oil, melted
1/2 c. sweet potato (I just scooped out part of a baked sweet potato)
1/2 c. + 2 tbs. plain Greek yogurt (I used low-fat)
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c. Ghiradelli cocoa
1 c. ground rolled oats (use a food processor or blender to grind the rolled oats, the 1 c. measurement was AFTER they were ground up)
1/3 c. chocolate chips (opt. -- depends on whether or not you want these brownies to be 100% clean)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix everything together in a mixing bowl. Yes, just one bowl -- no need to make more dishes than necessary. Spray an 8x8 pan with cooking spray or grease with coconut oil. Bake for 20-25 until firm. Let cool for a few minutes, cut, and enjoy!
These a great topped with a thin layer of peanut or almond butter. Fresh berries would also be great with these brownies!
