Recipe: Charlie's Healthier, Yet Still Bussin' Brownies

As per usual, when it comes to recipe postings on my site, I shan’t be giving you some long drawn out story about how my grandpa made this recipe while fighting in the Korean War or how my mother used to make this on the days when we were sick on the verge of death because that’s not why you’re here. You’re here for a recipe, plain & simple.

This recipe, as many recipes do, originated as a combination of a bunch of different recipes that I put my own unique twist on & adjusted to fit my personal taste & lifestyle. As with any recipe, I urge you to do the same & to make it your own. Food is an art form after all.

Yes this recipe contains sweet potatoes but, as someone who doesn’t enjoy sweet potatoes, I promise you won’t be able to taste them!

Anyway, without further pomp & circumstance here’s the recipe!

Charlie’s Healthier, Yet Still Bussin’ Brownies

Yes, they are Paleo.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Small Sweet Potatoes (Get Small Ones, They Won’t Be Stringy)

  • 1/4 Cup of Paleo Blend Flour or Flour of Choice

  • 1/3 Heaping Cup of Cocoa Powder

  • 2 Eggs

  • 1 TSP Vanilla Paste (or Extract If You Don’t Have Paste)

  • 1 TBSP Nut Butter of Choice (I Use Almond or a Mix)

  • 1/2 Cup of Chocolate Chips (I Use Lily’s To Cut The Sugar)

  • 2/3 Cup of Coconut Sugar

  • Pinch of Smoked Salt (Regular Is Fine Too)

  • Pinch of Nutmeg

  • Dash of Cinnamon

Optional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Cup of Chopped Nuts

  • 1/2 Cup of Shaved Coconut

  • Pinch of Garam Masala

  • Whatever Else You Might Like In Your Brownies

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Poke a plethora of holes in your sweet potatoes & arrange them on a baking sheet.

  • Cook sweet potatoes in oven for 75-90 minutes or until caramelized & peeling. The skin should be easy to remove.

  • Allow potatoes to cool before removing skin.

  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.

  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

  • In a stand mixer or large bowl combine all of your ingredients, don’t forget the potatoes.

  • Pour batter into your lined baking pan.

  • Sprinkle large flake smoked salt or coconut or whatever you’d like on top.

  • Bake for 30 minutes.

  • Remove from oven & let cool.

  • The brownies should be baked through but still gooey.

  • Enjoy them & enjoy serving them to friends & family without telling them they’re healthy-ish!
