Ingredients
- 120 unsalted butter 4.2 oz / ½ cup
- 135 sweet potato puree from 1 large sweet potato (See note 1, 4.8 oz / ⅔ cup
- 130 granulated sugar 4.5 oz / ⅔ cup
- 1 egg medium Germany, large US
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 60 all-purpose flour 2 oz / ½ cup
- 65 unsweetened cocoa powder 2.3 oz / ⅔ cup
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- 50 walnuts 1.7 oz / ⅓ cup chopped
- 30 chocolate chips See note 2, 1 oz / ¼ cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Poke the sweet potato with a fork a few times on each side. Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 40 – 50 minutes. Leave until cool enough to handle, peel, mash well and let cool. Weigh the needed amount and set it aside.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking tin of about 20 cm/ 8 inch and line the bottom with parchment paper. Leave the parchment paper hang over 2 walls of the pan, this way it will be easier to lift the brownie out of the pan.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Set aside until you prepare the rest. Mix together the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl mix together the melted and cooled butter, sweet potato puree, sugar, and egg. Carefully fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts (and some extra chocolate chips, if you desire). Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 17-20 minutes, depending on your oven. A toothpick inserted in the middle of the brownie should still have a few crumbs hanging to it, but it should not be wet.
Notes
- Red skinned, orange fleshed sweet potatoes, not yams.
- You can add an extra ¼ cup/ 30 g chocolate chips into the batter together with the walnuts.
