    How I Made These peanut butter blondies healthier:

    These fudgy and gooey vegan blondies are clean, nutritious, and incredibly tasty! There are absolutely no preservatives or random ingredients in this recipe! Here are four ways that I made these blondies more nutritious and health-friendly without taking away from the taste!

    1. I used sweet potatoes as the base making these blondies rich in vitamin A and fiber!
    2. I used coconut flour making these fudgy blondies gluten-free and grain-free!
    3. Used maple syrup instead of refined sugar. By using this type of natural sweetener, I am removing all refined sugars!
    4. I used peanut butter to make these blondies vegan and also super gooey! Full of healthy fats.

    Ingredients in vegan sweet potato blondies

    You’ll only need nine simple ingredients to get this easy dessert recipe going! You probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already. For this grain-free, vegan blondie recipe, you’ll need some maple syrup, peanut butter, and, of course, sweet potatoes!

    • Sweet Potatoes
    • Creamy Peanut Butter
    • Maple Syrup
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Cinnamon
    • Coconut Flour
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt
    • Chocolate Chips (I love using Lily’s Dark Chocoalte Chips here)

    Easy Ingredient Substitutions

    You guys probably know by now that I love simple and easy recipes! If you find yourself missing an ingredient or two, try these! I recommend substituting no more than 1-2 ingredients.

    Peanut Butter – Although I LOVE peanut butter in this recipe, you can swap 1 for 1 with any nut butter!

    Maple Syrup – Try using your favorite liquid sweetener here. Honey or monk fruit will work!

    How to Make grain free peanut butter sweet potato blondies

    This recipe is so simple and really easy to make. You’ll be in and out of the kitchen in less than 45 minutes! And all you need is brownie tin, parchment paper, a mixing bowl, and an oven.

    Here, I’ll walk you through the steps to make these delicious, healthy peanut butter blondies!

    To start, preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease or line an 8” x 8” tin with parchment paper. I like to line and grease my pan by cutting a little piece of parchment paper, placing it into the bottom of the pan, and spraying it with nonstick spray. This will make it so easy to take your healthy brownies out of the pan.

    Next, bring a pot of water to a boil on the stovetop and add in your peeled sweet potatoes. Cook for around 10 – 12 minutes or until they are fork tender. 

    Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined and then add in your sweet potato mash.

    After that, mix in the coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. And then hand fold in chocolate chips with a spatula; saving a few to sprinkle on top.

    Evenly spread the batter into the greased tin, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top and bake for 30 – 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Let cool before serving, and enjoy your peanut butter sweet potato blondies!

    I highly recommend storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for 5 -6 days.

    How to Store Extra fudgy sweet potato blondies

      THESE WERE SO GOOD. Not only were they so addictive, but they didn’t taste like they were meant to be “healthy”.
