YAMMY BROWNIES!!!

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:

Ingredients

* 1 1/3 cups dark unsweetened cocoa
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 cups (orange!) sweet potato baked and mashed about 2 average s.pots (remove skin)
* 2 lg eggs
* 1 Tbsp vanilla
* 1 cup of coffee (rooibos tea would totally work too)
* 2 Tbsp of olive oil or melted butter
* 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or walnuts if you want.


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!

They are YAMMY and fantastic, hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
