Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato cooked and cooled
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in the cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Spread into the pan and bake 28 to 32 minutes, until the center is set but still fudgy.
  5. Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

Microwaving a whole sweet potato until soft is the fastest way to get your mash.
