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’m sorry but these came out terrible. I cooked them for almost 2 hours and they were still almost the same consistency as when i put them in the oven.
hey aria, are you sure you used all of the ingredients in this recipe? because there are over 600 happy customer comments in this blog post, whose brownies came out great! if they didn’t cook through, i’m guessing eggs weren’t added of too much sweet potato was used!
I’ve been totally Paleo for 4 months now and these brownies are by FAR the BEST paleo dessert I’ve had – nothing else is even in the ball park! Thank you!
I think I just gave myself a tummy ache eating like a cup of the batter. EEP.
Ha ha the batter that did make it in to the oven came out super yummy!
There may only be 3 tiny brownies left.
OMG!! I was skeptical at first, I’ve made sweet potato brownies before and they were a complete flop. BUT THESE!!!! Just WOW. I’m trying not to eat them all before my kids wake up, I want to sneak veggies into them 😉
Thank you 🙂
Didn’t have enough honey, but I used maple syrup and they came out AMAZING! I prefer them over conventional brownies hands down. You are a kitchen guru fo sho. I know this recipe was posted years ago, but you linked it as a base for a newer recipe and I found it that way. Keep it up lady!
Thanks for this recipe Juli! I had such a sweet tooth today and knew I’d fine something delicious to make from your website. I don’t know how long they’ll last with both me and my husband loving these! Is it wrong to make another batch already?!
I made this yesterday and I think the sweet potato was too large (it was as big as my head ) . They were delicious nevertheless .
Meh….
Added extra cocoa powder as recommended by others and thank goodness. The taste is ok, the texture is nasty. Yes, I used all the eggs, added extra coconut flour and used 1.5 cups ( a little less) of mashed sweet potatoes. Maybe cook a little longer ( I did 35 min)? They were firm….
Glad I tried them but likely won’t bother again.
I prefer Almond butter brownies .
Amazing! I was too lazy to make the crumble, and I added lots of chocolate chunks to the recipe. DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
This recipe is a single serving, right?
