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 know what i’m making tomorrow 🙂
Let me know how they turn out!
Holy moly, these brownies were a taste sensation! DA BOMB!! SO delish, thank you for all of your awesome culinary creations. I was wondering, thoe. How much sweet tater did you use? I used a medium sized fella and my brownies took about 2 hours to cook. Even after that they were still a tad smushy. BUT still incredibly awesome. I hovered over the stove and ate just a tad under half the pan. Even burned my tongue a little. That’s how good they were, I didn’t even care to give them time to cool off. Yum! I had to take the rest of the pan into the box this morning and share the goodness. Sorry, ramble over!
Thank you again, all of your recipes are truly great! 🙂
2 hours!??! Holy balls. I used 1 medium sweet potato so that’s very strange you ran into that issue! Ovens are stupid. Blame it on the oven. Glad you still liked it though!
Mine weren’t done in 25 minutes either – but I wasn’t sure if it was just the texture of sweet potato brownies (having never made them before) so I left them in a little bit longer, but not two hours. They were very very gooey. I figured there was no egg to make us sick, but I’ll definitely try for longer or a hotter oven or a combination of the both for next time. My friend asked for the recipe so they weren’t all that bad! 🙂 Thank you!
Just made these….GENIUS!!! Such a winner, making everyone in my gym make them too, was going to share, but yup they suddenly disappeared.
Glad they turned out delish!!
Made these for my coaches this morning and they LOVED them. They all asked for the recipe and so I am sending them your way!
That’s AWESOME!! Glad they liked them, hope to hear what they think about the blog!!
I just ate half the pan and I don’t know if I can resist the other half…. and if I am being honest, it’s more like a quarter of the pan is left.
I am going to have to wear a maternity top for the next few days to hide the evidence of my gluttony and my ability to not share. THEY WERE AMAZING!
Is eating two pans in one considered overkill????
Nah. I do the same thing regularly. The amount of cashews and chocolate I just consumed should be illegal.
I have a batch of these in my Flavorwave oven right now. I’m crossing my fingers since I’ve never made brownies in the Flavorwave(my real oven idoesn’t work) and because the batter was very thick. It’s thick enough that the peaks that formed when I was spreading it into the pan never smoothed out on their own. Is it supposed to be that thick? Next time you make them, would you mind measuring out how much mashed sweet potato one sweet potato actually is? They vary so widely in size. Now that that’s out of the way, the batter was delish! I hope my kids like them. It’s our first post Whole30 dessert. Mmmmmmm! My neighbor’s kids loved them when their mom made them so the odds that mine will like these are good. Thank you! I’ll come back and rate them after I munch a few. 🙂
yeah it definitely is thicker. next time i’ll weigh out the sweet potato!
Just was introduced to your website today…how fun & exciting!!
I’m just curious if you know what your blood type is? I see that you use a lot of coconut oil. I don’t feel good when I use it. 🙁
I’m making these brownies NOW for the weekend. Hopefully they will satisfy my husband’s sweet tooth. I have very little control if sugar is in the house, so I’m excited to find your healthier options!
I am A+ Jeanette. What are you? You could always sub some recipes for grapeseed oil or walnut or almond oil!! Hope he likes them!
Made these today and had great reviews all the way around.. definitely the best recipe for paleo brownies yet! thank you!
woowwww that is a HUGE compliment kate!! thank you!!!
I usually stay away from paleo ‘baked goods’ cause I find they always disappoint… OMG, not these! I’m the only paleo in a house of 12 people and every single one of my SAD roommates could not get over how amazing these were! Thanks for such a (relatively) guilt-free recipe! ^^ (ps: I subbed the honey with about 1/2 c of applesauce instead and they were still amazing)
That’s how I always felt with paleo baked goods too, they were always a disappointment to me so that’s why I love when I find something I like! And the applesauce is a FANTASTIC idea!!
Holy crap these are good. Dont know whats better the batter or the brownie!!!
Getting ready to make Bacon beef meatballs with mango sauce. So excited for them.
Also made today, fudgy brownies which my 2 year old loves. Granola which is an all around hit wih everyone. Baked it a bit longer and it is now more grab and go granola, so good!!!
And breakfast was Mexican hash…cant eat that to much. Thanks Juli!!!
Damn Rebecca, you have been making everything!!! U rock!
Bacon meatballs with mango sauce…AMAZING!!! I will for sure double batch it next time.
That’s awesome Rebecca! Glad you liked it!
Holy delicious. I made these today and they’re sensational. Thankfully I committed a few to a friend of mine, which has helped me in my quest to not eat the ENTIRE pan. You are good!
Glad they turned out like they should!! YOU are great!
