Sweet Potato Brownies Recipe

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ⅔ cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 large potato)
• ⅓ cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ cup chocolate chips

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhanging on the sides.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another medium bowl, add the butter and melt in the microwave for 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and whisk with the melted hot butter until well combined. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes, peanut butter, and vanilla.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips, reserving 1-2 tablespoons to sprinkle on top, and fold in.

5. 5

   Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top and add a few extra chocolate chips. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes before lifting the parchment paper and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares.
