Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup sweet-potato puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee powder

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square pan; set aside. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Remove pan from heat, and stir in cocoa. Let cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Stir in sugar and sweet-potato puree, then egg. In a small bowl, stir together vanilla and coffee until coffee is dissolved; add to cocoa mixture.

Add flour mixture to cocoa mixture and stir until no traces of flour remain. Spoon into prepared pan; smooth the top. Bake until surface of brownies looks barely dry and an inserted knife comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

      Cook's Notes

                These are great. Very moist and chewy. I added a pinch of cayenne pepper, a couple of shakes of cinnamon. Increased coffee crystals to 1\2 tsp.  Great way to use up a part of a can of sweet potatoes.

                Wonderful chocolate flavor and certainly healthier than conventional brownies. But, the sweet potato puree gave them such a 'fudgy' texture that they seemed a bit too sticky to the bite (stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth sticky). Perhaps, the texture resulted from my own human error. Nevertheless, I'd make them again.

                This sounds great as my son can't eat white flour. Do you know if I could use coconut sugar or stevia or some other lower glycemic sweetener in place of the sugar? He can't eat white cane sugar either.

                wonderful recipe; I have never made a Martha Stewart recipe and not have it work out perfectly.
                thanks so much,

                I just discovered that I can use the leftover sweet potatoes from the Cleansing Broth to make the puree!  I couldn't stand the thought of tossing the veggies.... can't wait to try this recipe

                Just wanted to say thank you for these recipes. I like these and send them off to my daughter who is in the Armed Forces out West. We try to eat right, but sometimes we just need a little something sweet. This helps to keep us on track!
