Sweet Potato Brownies
Sweet Potato Brownies are so fudgy and so good! You wouldn't even realize they're made with a sweet potato unless you were the one making them!

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
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhanging on the sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Notes
- Storage: Kept in an airtight container, these brownies will last for up to 5 days at room temperature or a week in the fridge. I like to put layers of parchment paper in between the stacks of brownies so they don't stick!
