As much as Bacon, I equally love my veggies too. I've learned that there are alternatives to cooking, and many ways to substitute ingredients to find that loophole in eating treats. This is a fantastic way to disguise some extra nutrients in your brownies. You get some extra protein (5.6 grams per brownie) iron from the cocoa, with a vegetable serving, all at the same time. I call that a WIN!
3/4 cup Garnet Yam or Sweet potato, mashed
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, they both work)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/3 cup AP flour (You can substitute Oat or gluten free flour)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips + more for the top, optional
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Mix Peanut Butter, Yam and vanilla extract. Stir in dry ingredients until well incorporated. Spread evenly on a 8x8 Brownie pan and Bake at 325˚ for 20min, until the middle is no longer gooey. (Yes, that's a technical term). Here's the hardest part. WAIT until cooled to cut and eat.
