Seems PlantYou has since revised her recipe for Fudgy Sweet Potato Brownies. I think it is ok to post it here, as it is free on her website. 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato 1/2 cup nut butter 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/4 cup oat flour 1/2 cup choc chips (opt) Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine sweet potato, almond butter & maple syrup. In a separate bowl, combine oat flour & cocoa pdr. Mix in the choc chips if desired, & transfer to baking pan. Bake for about 30 min until set. Let cool before slicing.

@LetsEatPlants 9 месяцев назад

Oh great! I like that there’s oat flour now… I’ve been making a variation with regular flour and it has been much better. 😅😅 I’ll have to give her new version a try. Thanks! 🤗

@Trina.G 8 месяцев назад

This is a older video, I just made the same brownies a few days ago. I added half a cup of oatmeal flower and they were delicious. I loved this video, by the way.❤❤❤

@LetsEatPlants 8 месяцев назад

Oh nice! Glad to know it worked well with 1/2 c. of oatmeal flour! I've done a similar recipe to this now with all purpose flour and that works well too. 😀😀

@hadi_alnabati 2 года назад

I made this after trying the sweet potato pudding 😆 I added whole wheat flour thinking it would result in a better consistency, and I think it did that a bit, but you’re right it was still mushy on the inside. What I did is I sliced the portion I’m having and I put it in the freeze for about 30 minutes and that made the consistency so much better! Almost felt like a chocolate ice cream cake! Thank you for such a nice recipe ☺️🌱

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

Hahaha yes! Glad it wasn’t just me. 🤪 What a great idea to use the freezer! Thanks for sharing that, I’m sure others will find that helpful as well. 🤗

@Granchen08 Год назад

Hi!, I just found you! RU-vid suggested you to me with your ice cream recipes. We’ll try soon they look delicious!! And we jumped to this recipe and I will try this one adding maybe some quinoa flour and I will let you know how that works out. Blessings to you and thank you!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Oh that's great! So happy you're here. 🤩 I'd love to know how the addition of quinoa flour works in these if you do end up making them! I also just made another squash brownie recipe here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UxnfVeUU5lk.html that turned out so well, just in case you're still looking. 😄😄

@Ladeine 3 года назад

Thank you for your review. I was literally just about to make these when I came across your video. I was thinking that they would come out looking just like the picture but now I have a better expectation. Even for how long to keep them in the oven; 30 mins not 15.

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Aw yay!! So glad you found it helpful! 😄😄😄 Yes, I’m all about managing expectations. 😆 Hope the 30 mins works for you! They’ll still be soft, but you can also try refrigerating them overnight for a firmer texture. 😊

@Ladeine 3 года назад

@@LetsEatPlants Oh yes your advice was so helpful, thank you!!! I have tried the recipe twice and they came out perfect looking like the picture, and tasting so good. I actually let them bake for 40 mins. 😀

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Oh awesome! Very good to know, thanks! Will add flour if I make them again. 🤗

@metamud8686 Год назад

I know this will deviate from the recipe, but I think maybe adding oat flour (just ground up oatmeal) would help in firming up / soak up some of the moisture, all without loosing a) health benefits or b) the WFPB + no oil tags.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

I think you're right! I ended up making a similar recipe a few months ago with flour (or you could use white whole wheat to keep it WFPB friendly) and it worked *much* better, so I definitely think some kind of flour type substance is needed! 😅

I was thinking of adding some vegan chocolate protein powder! Wouldn't affect the recipe, plus it would absorb some excess moisture and help provide stability. It's just prone to burning, so anything higher than 350F would probably scorch it

@lizb3th_g 2 года назад

Thanks for your review-you have contagious energy, and even though this comes a year later, I have to put my two cents in… I haven’t tried these brownies, but I’d baked a lot in my 70 years. I’d be hard pressed to comment on texture & taste if I hadn’t followed the recipe as written. You used a mixture of peanut butter & almond butter & if I watched correctly, the almond butter was kind of runny. Using cacao instead of cocoa powder probably took away some of the sweetness. And lastly, a blender cannot compare to a food processor-a hand blender or even giving it some good elbow grease & blending the batter by hand would’ve been more appropriate.

@LetsEatPlants 2 года назад

Aw thank you! 🤗🤗 Very true and all great points!! However the recipe creator herself has actually said the recipe doesn’t turn out like the photo. Turns out it’s actually a stock photo. 😅 So while I do agree to achieve the same results you should follow a recipe.. I don’t think that was the issue in this case. 😆😆 But since you have a lot of baking experience, what would you suggest to add to make it less fudgey and more cakey like the pic? 🤔🤔 Would love to hear your input! 🤩

@RawNoLimits 3 года назад

Texture aside, they still look pretty bomb.

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

😄😄 Totally! Taste-wise they were good! And a lot of people are into that fudgey style brownie ... so maybe for some ppl the gooey texture is actually a bonus. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Either way, they definitely satisfy chocolate cravings while still being pretty healthy! 🌱✨

@zhileleng1772 3 года назад

I think if u do it with Japanese sweet potatoes, the texture will be more like brownie as Japanese sweet potatoes are firmer and not so mushy when cooked

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Wow! Interesting point! I have just recently started cooking a lot of Japanese sweet potatoes and you are totally right.. they have a much drier/ firmer texture! I will have to try this out. 😁😁 Thank you for the tip! 🙏🏼 Have you made these with Japanese sweet potato?

@plantsprogressbymisha7065 3 года назад

I love your energy, you have some great videos! I was very interested to see what you thought about this recipe because if I'm being honest I don't LOVE sweet potatoes, I eat them every once in a while but I'm not a typical vegan when it comes to the love of sweet potatoes lol. These do not look like they would work without parchment, seems like the pudding might be the way to go. I really love your editing style as well. I also have a channel where I share vegan eats and sustainability tips, I'd love for you to check it out. Otherwise thanks so much for sharing your baking adventure with us. 🙂💚🌎💙

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Aww thanks so much!!! 🥰🥰 Really appreciate your kind words! Hahaha, very true these prob wouldn’t work without the parchment paper! I don’t think you taste the sweet potato much in this recipe... but I DO love sweet potatoes so maybe I am biased. 😂😂 I will check it out! Thank you for sharing. 😊

I dont know how the end product can be dry if the only dry ingredient is the cocoa? Seems logical?

@NechelleP 3 года назад

you should put some dry like almond flour or oatmeal flour to make it firm.

@LetsEatPlants 3 года назад

Haha yes I’ve had a couple suggestions for that. But my goal was to see how it turned out if I followed the original recipe! So that was why I wanted to keep it without anything dry. 😊 I think if I made them again I would try adding some ground oats! Good suggestion. 😄

@MGmirkin Год назад

@@LetsEatPlants I'd love to see it re-done, maybe a couple ways, to try to remedy the moisture/texture issues. I feel like adding some flour & maybe a little baking powder, will end with a slightly more dough-y/bread-y texture? Though it definitely seems like the sweet potato / fiber retains a lot of moisture? Just thinking that something else that absorbs excess moisture might help even it out...?

@natashawallace7044 2 года назад

Omg i made them and i used 2 sweet potatoes and i baked for 35 mins and mine kinda of mushy in the middle but hopefully after they cool and i eat 1 tomorrow the texture will be better, so im going to take your idea and tell the fam that its sweet potato fudge lol!!
