This Best Vegan Brownie with Millet and Sweet Potato has other wholesome ingredients which is sweet potato.There are different varieties of sweet potatoes available in different regions but I have used the Hannah variety for my recipe which has a light orange color flesh. Since each variety of sweet potato has different level of sweetness, please increase or reduce the amount of sweetness in the recipe accordingly.

I have used Jaggery as a sweetener in this recipe. Jaggery is the unrefined sugar or sweetener which is widely consumed in India.

This Brownie tastes great even without the ganache on top. The topping of ganache makes this brownie rich and fudgy. For the chocolate chip, you can choose a bar with a minimum 70% cacao.
