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.

Do you have any idea of amount of the sweet potatoes, like a half cup or more like 1 cup? I have some tiny sweet potatoes from TJs and I really want some brownies….
about 1.5 cups
Good thing I asked!! Maybe I’ll round out my tiny little sweet potatoes with some frozen pumpkin I put up last fall! I’ll let you know.
I think I’m gonna make these brownies for my mom’s birthday next week! are these your most popular brownies you’ve made?
these around absolutely my most popular. my favorite are probably my magic brownie bars, as well
Hey, have you every tried using pure maple syrup instead of the honey?
Cheers!
yep! delicious!
These are a keeper! Everyone else was like “hmm” (vision them shrugging their shoulders)…I was like those “bitches” are mine!
Nothing like good carbs before a half marathon!
I made these this weekend and this is horrible! My boyfriend will not stop eating the brownies. The jar is almost empty
I only had 2 pieces… This should be ilegal
These are beyond the best e-v-e-r! Now I want to try every recipe on your OMG paleo board on Pinterest! I’ve taken to cooking a large batch of sweet potatoes at once and having them mashed and waiting for use in the fridge…grateful because now I want to make a second batch! I didn’t have any chocolate chips so had to skip that part…did add a touch of coconut palm sugar but I don’t think that was necessary. Also, didn’t have coconut flour so used Pamela’s Artisan flour…added coconut flour to my shopping list! 5 YUMS up!!!!!
These are spectacular. I always visit your site for good ideas. Thanks for sharing. P.S. I’m always laughing my ass off to your blogs 🙂
Has anyone tried this with maybe 1 tbspn of honey and 1 very ripe banana??
Made these today and it’s the best brownie recipe ever!
I made these tonight and absolutely loved them, I am somewhat new to paleo when it comes to what can be substituted for what. I was wondering if I was able to substitute coconut sugar for the raw honey? I just don’t like how high in sugar the honey is whereas the coconut sugar is wayyyy less sugar. They were still very very good though, topped mine with organic peanut butter!
