These were SUPER YUMMY. I didn’t have chestnut flour so I used garbanzo bean flour and replaced the maple syrup with agave to keep the sugar down.

May I suggest for those that are newer to cooking so not so good at reading between the lines that “Mix the dry flours together …” be reworded since there is only 1 flour & the other ingredients never mentioned, save the sweet potatoes. Also to please include the picture of your brownie (or whatever you are speaking of at the time) in the items printed on individuals home printers (or give them a choice)! I have come back today to get a picture of the brownie & make sure that “Mix the dry flours together” is “Mix the dry ingredients together then add the wet ones” then “and the mix it into the mashed sweet potato.”

I made these with cocoa powder, substituted barley flour for chestnut. Added 1/4 c. applesauce, reduced maple syrup to 2 T. in icing. Cooked for only 20 minutes. Yummy!

Don’t forget that if you use Xylitol they are not dog friendly. Do a google search, Xylitol is toxic to dogs. This recipe looks great, and I will definitely try them soon. Who doesn’t love brownies?

I got chestnut flour at an indian grocery store. That flour is not used that often and I imagine you could easly substitute another bean or nut flour. Did not notice anything distinct about the flour. the brownie was ok, Ive had better brownies made from black beans.

Oops no, I did not add more walnuts. I used the amount you stated. Brain hiccup! And that was perfect. I looked in the most likely places here in SoCal – Whole Foods and Mother’s Market – and ended up having to order the chestnut flour online.

I calculated it once before, but I do not have it anymore. I think it came out to roughly 200 calories for 1/9th of the recipe, but I am not sure. If you want to figure it out, you can put the ingredients into here. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp
For any ingredients that are not in there, you can simply google the nutritional info for that specific ingredient and add it manually.

The recipe has chopped walnuts in them, you added more? Were you able to find chestnut flour? I agree, they are more of a dense, fudgey brownie. Honestly, I don’t know if I have ever had a “regular” brownie anyways, so I wouldn’t know! 😉
