Salted Caramel Sweet Potato Blondies
Yep… It’s a thing.
These sweet potato blondies are (at risk of sounding weird) moist af. They’re a little more cakey that the normal blondie texture but the moistness makes up for it. Also, they are not super sweet… As I’ve said many times before I don’t like overly sweet things and prefer the natural sweetness of ingredients like sweet potato.

INGREDIENTS
Sweet Potato Blondies
- 1 cup sweet potato puree*
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp pure monk fruit powder
- 2 tbsp mesquite powder
- 2 tbsp (40ml) almond milk OR milk of choice
- 1 egg, beaten
Salted Caramel Sauce
- 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 3 tbsp cashew butter
- 2 tbsp mesquite powder
- 10 drops liquid stevia OR 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- To make the blondies, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Spread into a lined loaf tin and place in the oven to bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for 15 minutes before turning out and letting cool completely.
- To make the salted caramel sauce, take your melted coconut oil and stir in the cashew butter, mesquite, stevia and salt.
- To assemble, drizzle sauce over blondies and sprinkle with toppings. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- Sweet Potato Puree: Prick a sweet potato with a knife. Place in a preheated oven (about 200°C) for about 40–60 minutes depending on the size of the sweet potato… It’s ready when you can pierce a knife all the way through. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Peel off skin and mash the flesh with a fork! I also then eat the skin with a little olive oil and salt.
- Pure monk fruit powder is a sugar-free sweetener (read more about what monk fruit is and where to get it here), not to be confused with “monk fruit sweetener” which is actually an erythritol based sweetener.
- This recipe works with any milk of your choosing, read my milk guide here.
