Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (356°F) and lightly grease a 20 × 20 cm (8 × 8 in) baking pan.

  2. Peel the sweet potato, cut into chunks, and boil in salted water until very tender, about 12‑15 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The sweet potato is very tender when pierced. Cut the chunks evenly so they cook at the same rate.

  3. Drain the sweet potato and mash it until smooth; set aside to cool slightly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The mash is smooth with no large pieces. Let it cool slightly before mixing into the batter.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until evenly combined.

  5. Add the mashed sweet potato, eggs, and honey to the dry ingredients; stir until a uniform batter forms.

  6. Fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The nuts and chocolate are distributed throughout the batter. Fold gently to keep the batter uniform.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer.

  8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is set.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The top is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Check near the center of the pan.

  9. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

  10. Transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
