PIN IT

Let’s turn that humble sweet potato into something magical.

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a small baking pan.

Step 2: Mash the Sweet Potato

Make sure your sweet potato is soft and smooth—no lumps. You can roast or steam it beforehand.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs and honey to the mashed sweet potato. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add Cocoa & Baking Soda

Stir in the cocoa powder and baking soda. Mix until you get a thick, rich batter—it should look like classic brownie batter.

Step 5: Bake

Pour into your pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 6: Cool & Slice

Let it cool completely—this is key! The brownies firm up and become perfectly fudgy as they rest.
