1 ¼ cups unbleached flour
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
½ cup Sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
¼ teas. salt
2 eggs

How To Make Sweet Potato Brownies

Preheat oven to 350˚

In a pot over medium-high heat bring Potatoes and just enough water to cover them to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Simmer until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

Add Potatoes to a food processor and blend until smooth. In a separate bowl combine the Flour, Pecans, Sugar, Cocoa and Salt.

Add the Potato to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Add the eggs and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add the mixture to a parchment-lined 13×9 inch pan and spread evenly.

Bake at 350˚ until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, not necessarily clean, 30-35 minutes. Remove and let cool. Cut into desired size brownies, store in an airtight container.

**Remember: these are filled with chocolate but they are not overly sweet. Dust with powdered sugar to bump the sweetness without adding much more sugar into the actual recipe.
