So, I am not a baker, but i am learning to be, and i especially love making things that are delicious and not especially bad for me. :)
I found this recette for sweet potato brownies in a magazine and tweaked it (as i am fond of doing) and they actually worked out GREAT! They are made like so:
Directions
1A. Poke some holes in the s.pots, and bake in the oven/toaster oven for 1/2 hour or so until the skins start to look 'saggy' or there are juices dripping (put them on a pan silly!) cool, cut in half and squeeze out of the skins and mash with a fork.
1. Mix wet: coffee, vanilla, eggs and olive oil together in a bowl and add sweet potato mashup
2. Mix dry: flour, sugar, salt, BPowder and Cocoa together in a smaller bowl, add to wet mix.
3. The mixture should blend to be silky and even. If its still chunky add more coffee or water.
4. Grease a 16x8 inch cake pan and pour mixture into it, it should be gloopy and settle into a
5. Bake in a 350F oven about 20 mins or brownies appear set
6. Cool and cut
This recipe makes enough brownies to share with friends/roommates and co-workers!
