How to Make High-Protein Sweet Potato Brownies
1. Prepare the Sweet Potato
Puncture the sweet potato several times with a fork. Bake at 400°F for about 45 minutes, or until completely soft. Allow it to cool, remove the skin, and mash the sweet potato until smooth and pureed.
2. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
3. Make the Brownie Batter
Add the mashed sweet potato, Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, dark cocoa powder, and protein powder to a bowl. Mix until well combined and smooth.
4. Bake
Pour the brownie batter into a loaf pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the brownies are set.
Be careful not to overbake. Keeping them slightly fudgy is the secret to their delicious texture!
5. Make the Frosting
While the brownies cool, mix the mashed sweet potato, Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener, dark cocoa powder, and protein powder until smooth and creamy.
6. Frost and Serve
Spread the chocolate protein frosting over the cooled brownies. Add colorful chocolate chips if desired.
Slice into 6 servings and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Fudgy Protein Brownies
For the best texture, avoid overbaking the brownies. They should be set but still soft and fudgy in the center.
Use smoothly mashed sweet potato for a more consistent brownie batter, and allow the brownies to cool before adding the frosting.
You can also customize the topping with your favorite sugar-free or colorful chocolate chips.
