Thanks for the comments – perhaps a little clarifying is needed. The sweet potato needs to be roasted until very soft and then well mashed to a soft puree. You could use a sweet potato roasted in a 350 degree oven for about an hour, or until very soft, and then well mashed. Mashed canned sweet potatoes work very well for this. I think canned pumpkin would work well for this recipe also. Thanks so much for your comments!

I just put them in the oven and am excited to find out what happens. But also a bit concerned. I used baked smashed sweet potatoes but the batter didn’t even come together – I had to almost double the sweet potatoes and add applesauce before it began to look like any sort of brownie batter.
Am i missing something in the directions?

Wow, this doesn’t even call for any eggs? Do you think pumpkin would be a good substitute for the sweet potatoes?
