Sweet Potatoes for dessert… who knew? 😏

I would have never believed it if I didn’t try it for myself– sweet potatoes make a damn good brownie! 😋

I’ve read about mishaps with sweet potato brownie recipes, and I was so hesitant to try it when the delicious smell filled my kitchen, but 🤷🏼‍♀️

… loved it!

It will make a great addition to the vegan Thanksgiving desert table next week! Bonus, it can be made with left over sweet potatoes and you won’t feel so bad when the kids OD on brownies 😂

Let me know how yours come out!
