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 unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pure honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potato


Instructions

  1. Bake two large sweet potatoes at 425°F for about 45-55 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.
  2. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
