Healthy Sweet Potato Brownies

Preparing the Sweet Potato

Notes: You can cook the potato and refrigerate it up to 5 days in advance.

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato

Instructions

Cook the sweet potato according to your preferred method. You can chop it into large chunks and boil it in water for 15 to 20 minutes, or until very tender.

Allow the potato to cool completely. You can transfer it to a sealable container and refrigerate it.

Once cool, remove and discard the peel.

Mash the sweet potato into a bowl or measuring cup and measure out 1 cup of mashed potato.

Making the Brownie Batter

Baking the Brownies

Notes: For fudgy, gooey brownies, bake for 23 minutes. Brownies are best when baked to an internal temperature of 165°F for fudgy, and up to 180°F for more cake-like brownies.

Ingredients

Extra chocolate chips for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.

If desired, sprinkle with extra chocolate chips.

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 23 to 28 minutes, or until the brownies reach your desired level of doneness.

Cooling and Storing

Notes: The brownies will slice more cleanly once they are completely cool.

Ingredients

Ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Allow the brownies to cool completely (at least one hour) before slicing and serving.

Serve with a scoop of ice cream for an even more decadent dessert, if desired.

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container or a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

To freeze, place brownies in a zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
