Why This Recipe Is Great for Toddlers and Families

• Hidden veggies! Sweet potato adds natural sweetness, fiber, and vitamins — without any complaints from picky eaters.
• Naturally sweetened: Just banana and a touch of chocolate make them perfectly sweet for toddlers.
• Soft texture: Easy to chew for little mouths.
• Freezer-friendly: Make a batch, freeze, and reheat when you need a quick snack.
• Family-approved: These brownie bites taste indulgent enough for adults, too!

Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet potato (or a 10 oz frozen bag, cooked and mashed)
• 1 mashed banana
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A handful of chocolate chips (optional, but recommended for extra yum!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly grease or line a mini muffin pan.
3. In a bowl, mash the sweet potato and banana until smooth.
4. Add cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder, and mix until well combined.
5. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
6. Scoop the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 14 minutes, or until set in the middle.
8. Let cool completely before removing from the pan — they’ll firm up as they cool.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Freeze cooled brownie bites in a single layer on a tray, then move to a freezer bag. Thaw overnight or reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.
• Lunchbox tip: Pack one frozen — it’ll thaw by snack time!

Common Questions

1. Can I use canned sweet potato or baby food?

Yes! Canned or pureed sweet potato works just as well — just make sure it’s plain (no added sugar or spices).

2. Can I make these gluten-free?

Absolutely — just use oat flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
