If you’re craving something chocolatey but still want to keep things feeling balanced this New Year, Shane’s Smith’ sweet potato brownies tick all the boxes. They’re rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey, yet naturally sweetened with maple syrup, sweet potato, and our Gem Stevia Sugar Blend. The sweet potato adds moisture and a gorgeous texture, meaning you get all the indulgence of a classic brownie with a lighter twist. Perfect for January baking, or when you want something easy and comforting without overdoing it. This is healthy-ish baking done right.
