Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, blend the mashed sweet potatoes, olive oil, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar together until smooth.
Sift in the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
