Notes
Tips:
I recommend roasting the sweet potato instead of boiling for the best outcome. When I tested this recipe with boiled sweet potatoes it didn’t turn out as good! Use real maple syrup….don’t argue with me on this one. Cacao powder can be found online and most grocery stores. I get mine at Trader Joes. Don’t over-bake these. This goes for all brownies! I like to store these in the fridge after they cool.
