Grain-free Sweet Potato Brownies

We’re getting crazy over here in The Real Food Dietitians land with the beloved brownie! Yes, you heard us. Grain-free Sweet Potato Brownies to be exact.

Everyone loves brownies!

But these aren’t your typical brownies made with white flour and processed sugar. No, these brownies come with benefits…nutritious benefits! And before your mind goes to a place where you start to think that our Grain-free Sweet Potato Brownies won’t taste as good, I’m going to intervene and suggest that you give them a try before you make any judgments here  🙂

In all seriousness, these brownies are a must try! They’re gluten-free, grain-free and paleo-friendly and as nutritious (yet tasty) as a brownie will get! And if you have tried and loved our popular Grain-Free Avocado Sweet Potato Brownie Bites then we know you’ll love this recipe, too!

Sweet potatoes, walnuts, chocolate chips, and optional collagen oh my!

We’ve loaded these brownies up with tons of nutritious deliciousness. The sweet potato puree (or pumpkin) gives these brownies their amazing fudge-like texture along with a natural sweetness, a nutritious boost of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. The walnuts add a nice crunch as well as a source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. The dark chocolate chips and baking cocoa, well…..they make the brownies taste good and do add some additional antioxidants, too 😉

AND last but certainly not least, the optional collagen peptides! If you’ve been following our blog for a while now there is a good chance that you already know how much we love our collagen. In fact, we did an entire blog post on the benefits of collagen and how it can improve your health. You can read that blog post here.

In short, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It promotes youthful skin, healthier hair, and nails, helps keep bones and joints strong, helps with weight maintenance, and promotes healthy immune and digestions. Now, who wouldn’t want that?! It’s a protein supplement like no other and one we, The Real Food Dietitians, take and benefit from daily.

Grain-free Sweet Potato Brownies aren’t the only way to consume collagen peptides!

While some of you might wish that were the case (especially after you try this recipe), we don’t recommend it. While these brownies do have some very nutritious benefits, we do still consider them a treat…yes friends, a TREAT! Other ways to get in your daily dose of collagen peptides include; stirring into tea, coffee or get fancy and try our popular Gut-Healing Cinnamon Coconut Latte or  Pumpkin Protein Bars, mixing into yogurt or chia pudding, adding it to a smoothie, or mixing it with water and swigging it down.

Oh my goodness, are you ready for this!?

Okay, great! It’s time to throw that apron on and whip up a batch of these drool-worthy Grain-free Sweet Potato Brownies for your next gathering with friends or family, holiday party, pre-game tailgating, picnic, or to add to yours and/or your kids’ lunch box.
