Description
Rich, fudgy brownies made healthier with sweet potato and whole wheat flour. You’d never believe there’s no butter, oil, white or brown sugar in them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup pure honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mashed sweet potato
Instructions
- Bake two large sweet potatoes at 400°F for about 60 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork. Let cool completely and then peel off the skin and thoroughly mash the flesh. Set aside.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and then whisk in the honey and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in the sweet potato.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
Notes
Baking time includes time to bake the sweet potatoes.
Store in an airtight container or in the baking dish covered tightly in plastic wrap.
