It's almost the weekend and we're all ready for a bit of chocolatey indulgence!

And guess what? It's low on sugar and healthy too ;)

SweetPotatoBrownies
(makes 16 brownies)

Ingredients:
1 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup veg oil (or melted butter)
skimmed milk
2 small eggs
2 medium sized sweet potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1-1.5 cups of cocoa powder (depends how chocolatey you want it - i used about 1.5)
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup of plain/semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions:
mix it all together and put it in an oven.
JUST KIDDING :P
1. Preheat the oven to about 170C or gas mark 6. In a large bowl, mix the oil and sugar together and then incorporate with the mashed sweet potato. Add 2 eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
2. in a separate bowl, whisk the flour, salt and sifted cocoa powder. Set aside.
3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. I usually do half the dry ingredients first, then mix, then add the rest. If the mixture is getting too dry add a good splash of milk (i probably used about 1 cup of milk in total) the end batter should be wet but not too easy to whisk through.
4. Put in the preheated oven. I baked it for about 20 mins, checking on it twice in between.
5. If you think its done, test it with a fork and it should come out fairly clean but don't be alarmed if you have a bit of wet chocolate on the fork as that might be the melted chocolate chips.
6. Eat! they taste even better after a day ;)
