Place the sweet potato in a small microwave-safe bowl with half the water. Cover with a vented lid and microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring once halfway, until very soft. Mash with a fork until smooth to yield about 1 cup.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and wait for 10 minutes. Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, protein powder, egg whites, cocoa powder, almond butter, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and the remaining water. Stir only until no dry streaks remain.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the top is set and a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Done when set and a toothpick has moist crumbs.
