Sweet Potato Brownie Recipe

This recipe appeared in the Summer, 2008 issue of American Vegan (all rights reserved, I'm sure--I hope they don't mind me posting it here; it's an excellent recipe, and should entice anyone to subscribe to their fine periodical or perhaps even join their excellent organization). 

Double Chocolate Brownies

Makes one 9x13" pan of brownies

1 large sweet potato

(1 cup water to cook sweet potato, not to go in brownies)

1 cup soy milk

1/4 cup oil

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 cups cocoa powder

2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/4 tsp. baking soda

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Sweet potato should be cooked with water in a pan on the stove until tender. Allow to cool

Meanwhile, mix soy milk with oil.

Mix Dry ingredients (except chips) in a separate bowl, then combine the two mixes.

Skin and mash sweet potato, and mix it in. Add chocolate chips last, and mix.

Lightly oil one 9 x 13" casserole pan, and spread evenly. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until done. A toothpick pocked one inch from the edge should come out clean. 

Allow brownies to cool before serving. Especially good served with vanilla soy ice cream, and berries.

Enjoy!
