Peanut Butter Blast Brownies, Vegan and Gluten-Free

The best recipe for Peanut Butter Blast Brownies
peanut butter blast brownies vegan gluten free recipe

I guess you can say we have a bit of a brownie addiction in our house!  

You can probably include a chocolate addiction somewhere in there too!

Unlike my usual brownies made with chickpeas, these are made with two heaping cups of sweet potato!  Fudgy, gooey and a totally healthy way to treat yourself!

Vegan and gluten free…antioxidant rich, fiber filled and super simple to make!

I roasted two medium sized sweet potatoes and let them cool before scooping out the inside.  You can also boil peeled and cut sweet potatoes, but I feel that roasting them brings out more of a naturally sweet flavor.  If you don’t get a full 2 cups of sweet potatoes, add applesauce to make up the remainder.
