Women, sweet potatoes are beneficial for all phases of your menstrual cycle. The beta-carotene regulates your hormones and promotes cell growth. They can reduce your estrogen levels which is linked to reducing cramps and inflammation. The Potassium can prevent cramps and improve your blood flow.

Men, the beta-carotene in sweet potatoes protects your sperm from cell damage. Eating sweet potatoes is a natural way to boost your testosterone which is essential for bone and muscle mass, mood, energy, sex drive, fat distribution, and red blood cell production.

Allergen-Friendly Substitutions

These brownies are already salt, oil, and refined sugar free as well as free from flours.

Nut allergy: You can substitute the almond butter for sunflower butter, chickpea butter or granola butter. I have not tried these substitutions, so please let us know in the comments if you do!

Cooking Tips

To prepare the sweet potato, poke holes all over it with a fork then wrap it in aluminum foil. Once it’s roasted in the oven, it will be soft enough to mash with a fork. Leave the skin on the sweet potato while it’s roasting in the oven, and remove the skin before mashing. Discard the skin, as it will not break down into the brownie batter.
