Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato, cooked and mashed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven (5 minutes):
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the sweet potato (10 minutes):
    • Cook the sweet potato by roasting or boiling until tender. Let it cool slightly, then peel and mash until smooth. Measure 1 cup of mashed sweet potato and set aside.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients (5 minutes):
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and well combined.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed sweet potato until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients (5 minutes):
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips (optional) (2 minutes):
    • Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the brownies (25-30 minutes):
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve (30 minutes):
    • Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts to the batter.

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
