For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To elevate the nutty notes, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding them to the topping. If you don't have sweet potato puree on hand, you can easily make your own by baking or steaming a sweet potato until tender, then pureeing it in a food processor or blender. For a more intense chocolate experience, add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat & Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepDry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside. (3 minutes)
03
StepWet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy. (5 minutes)
04
StepCombine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
05
StepChocolate Infusion: Gently fold in 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using) over the top. (2 minutes)
07
StepBaking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the edges and surface of the brownies are set but still slightly soft in the center. (25 minutes)
08
StepCool & Chill: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. For optimal results and a fudgier texture, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before cutting and serving. (30 minutes + 4 hours chilling)
