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.

These have become a staple in my house. I even freeze portions of mashed sweet potato in little pyrex bowls so I can always make them when I feel like it. Kid love em too. Thanks you for another awesome recipe.
Is it possible to melt the chocolate chips first so that you do not have the chunks? Thanks these are awesome!!
Surely
Can’t remember if I’ve posted already but oh well, too many comments to go through and all good I’m sure. I’m making these for the 10th time probably. Mostly because my fiancé just comes home with sweet potatoes and I know it’s for one reason only. I like to try recipes at least the first time as is, then make some modifications but this recipe is perfect in every way. I never change a thing! Thanks so much!
These look great, and I can’t wait to try them! Would it be OK to use plain canned pumpkin in place of the sweet potato? Just asking so I can get these in the oven even sooner : )
Absolutely!!
Hi Juli!
Your recipes are sooo good that I´m in love with your blog and your work.
I made this recipe twice and it doesn´t last a day at home.
It is soo moist and delicious. I love the idea of using vegetables instead almond meal.
I have uploaded to my blog the recipe to my blog, in case you want to have a look. There are 2 links to your blog as the owner of the original recipe.

Made this recipe yesterday and these are absolutely AMAZING!!! Even my non-paleo eating friends enjoyed them! Whoop!!!
Made these with pumpkin tonight, because thats what I had. i will be trying again with sweet potato. they were very yummy.
Great blog! I made a batch of theses today but they came out very mushy on the inside and burnt on the outside..(can you tell I only bake once every 6 months!!)
I wonder if it’s because I boiled the sweet potato instead of baking it and it became water logged? What do you think?
I’m going to give it another shot.
I’ve made these twice now, the second time being today, when I should be packing to head to deer camp….I also left a little batter in the kitchen aid each time just for a snack. I know, I have issues. I’m really enjoying that they have sweet potatoes in them, cause when I say that, people back away. I’ve fully used this to my advantage (as in personally consuming them all). What I’m getting at is that you may be the coolest person I know. And by know, I mean talk about as if we hang out. My boss keeps asking why you don’t come to our box. He’s not grasping that we don’t actually know you. I’m not sharing the brownies with him either. Thanks for this AWESOME recipe!!
I have made these many times, in fact at competitions I am know as the “brownie” girlfriend ha! Love these, I typically bake the potato seems to work best rather than boiling. I tried them without the honey and they are just as perfect! Thanks again for all of your creative amazing creations. Now off to make the bacon, beef, plaintain casserole = relish!!!!
