This weekend didn’t feel like a weekend. Probably because I was stuck inside for most of it. It snowed like 3 feet. Not really, probably like 16 inches, but I’m pretty sure my car only comes 5 inches off the ground, no it’s not a ghetto low rider, well maybe, but I seriously couldn’t even pull onto the street. I spent 30 minutes cleaning off my car to only make it 2 feet into the street. Ok, that was an exaggeration. I made it like 4 inches into the street. So my friend Sergio had to take me under his wing and drive me everywhere. I love feeling 15 again. Relying on others to grocery shop, work, and workout is really fulfilling.
But the weekend still turned out pretty fun. Laura, Sergio and I played the 3 best friends card and did everything together. We went to breakfast together, went grocery shopping together, then helped each other pick out outfits. Well Sergio sat there and rolled his eyes as I took 12 shirts out of my closet. I hate dressing up. My PaleOMG shirts are way easier to sport. And my boobs are way more comfortable in sports bras. You just can’t always wear a sports bra with real people clothes. Dumb.
So I wore my big girl bra to a show we went to see downtown. We saw Passion Pit or Passion Pit’s DJ or a person from Passion Pit. I don’t really know. I think I’ve heard like 2 Passion Pit songs so I didn’t really know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised by feeling like an old fart. The venue was bumping with teenagers who were excited to get out of their parents house and be able to dry hump while on hallucinogenic drugs. What better way to spend your Saturday night eh?!?! Drugs are weird. Teenagers making out while trying to dance to some kind of beat is weirder.
Guess what else I did this weekend?! Sweated my ass off while shoveling our sidewalk. Maybe we shouldn’t have waited until it was complete ice slush. And when I say we, I mean me. Laura sat and watched. And took pictures. I did an overhead squat with a shovel just to be really creative and original. I should send that pic into the main site. I’M SURE they would totally use it. Wanna see it?! Sh*t yeah you do.
I’m watching Dirty Dancing. I love watching movies that I’ve seen a hundred times. They get more corny every time I watch them. This guy just walked up to Baby and said ‘This danish is pure protein”….like what? Missing some of those lines in movies makes me really develop of disappointment in myself. A line like THAT and all I remember is ‘Nobody puts Baby in the corner’?? That’s stupid. You disappoint me JB.
OH!!! And I did handstands in my house. No big deal.
Sweet Potato Brownies
- Yield: 5-8 1x
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Time to bake that sweet potato. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, use a fork to puncture holes all around it, then throw in the oven for 25-30 minutes. (I’m sure you could microwave it, but I like the ole fashioned way. I’m just so ole fashioned)
- Once your sweet potato is soft and cooked through, peel off the skin and mash it up in a bowl. And turn your oven down to 350 degrees.
- Now add your wet ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla to the bowl and mix together.
- Then add your dry ingredients: coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips.
- Mix well to incorporate all that goodness.
- Pour into an 8×8 glass baking dish
- Bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Let rest to cool a bit.
- Eat those b*tches. Try not to eat them all in one sitting. Like what may have happened in my kitchen….oops.

I just made these yesterday and they are fantastic! My husband eats paleo and he was freaking out about these. I can’t believe how much they tasted like regular brownies. I wrote about them on my blog and have a lot of friends who want to try out the recipe now too. Thank you!
Should I have greased the pan with something? They turned out great however stuck to the bottom of the pan. (Glass dish) I put them in frig to see if they will come out better cold.
Ok, these were so good…they are so gone! I added a tbs more honey on a friends recommendation that they were kinda bitter. Idk, mine were great! I am doubling the recipe today. My kids loved them, and my husband who hates sweet taters loved them! Haha! Thank you for all your great recipes!
YUM!!!!!! So good. I ate one right out of the pan, probably going to be better once they are cooled but SO AWESOME! Sometimes I’m not sure what’s going to happen with these kinds of paleo baking recipes. But yours always turn out! Thank you!!!
Hi! Wow. These rocked my world. Me and my fiance have been paleo for over a month now and just finished our whole30! These were an incredible decadent treat and ive been raving to everyone I know about these brownies!! Julie you are the best i wish you were in Toronto!!
Juli these friggin rock!!!!! Just finished our whole30 challange and i honestly couldnt have been more happier with this treat!! WOW!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! BEST BROWNIE RECIPE EVER!
These are THE BEST brownies I have ever eaten – and I ate a lot of brownies in my non-Paleo days!! My sweet potato wasn’t cooked enough, so stayed kind of chunky, and these are still AWESOME! Thank you for your blog, oh mighty food Goddess!
Please don’t judge me I’m new at this!! Shelled pistachios? Or unshelled? I know it says shelled but maybe I’m a little slow and am misinterpreting unsalted and shelled lol. Btw, thanks for making my new paleo lifestyle amazingggg!
disregard that last comment, I used common sense and then I realized I put that post on the wrong recipe!!!
So I tried to make these things three times and all three times they were just mushy. Like really mushy. It was like I put normal brownies in the oven for 5 minutes. I followed the recipe to a T so I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Please help!
I’m not totally sure Michaela, I haven’t expereienced that. did you definitely used coconut flour? Next time maybe use a bit more!
