BLENDER BABES RECIPE TESTER NOTES
“Very moist, not dry or flaky, and these sweet potato brownies don’t fall apart!
It stayed together very well and the taste is really great.
I can’t even taste the sweet potatoes!
I bet you can surprise people at your holiday gathering that it is healthy, and surprise them even more when you tell them it has sweet potato in it. Just don’t tell them til AFTER, so when they take a bite of it, they can be shocked how yummy it is!”
SWEET POTATOS HEALTH BENEFITS
Sweet potato is grown throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions.
The tuberous root features an oblong/elongated shape with tapering ends and has smooth outer skin whose color ranges from red, purple, brown, and white, depending upon the variety.
The sweet potato is also great for you providing a good amount of vital minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium that are very essential for enzyme, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism.
They sound yummy; can’t wait to try them.
Questions:
1. I don’t have almond butter. Can I use coconut oil, or real butter?
2. Can I make them in the food processor instead of a Vitamix?
3. What size pan do you bake them in?
In the nutritional data, you said serving side is “1”. How big is each serving? Only 50 calories each?!
Hi, Ann!
1. Absolutely you can substitute the Almond Butter. However, for Almond Butter, you may want to use another nut butter similar in consistency. So a Cashew butter, tahini (sesame butter), or peanut butters are good substitute. Here is a list of nut butter substitutes you can review.
2. You can absolutely use a food processor, instead of a Vitamix.
3. A 9×13 inch pan should be fine for these brownies. Each pan should make 9 brownies. Each brownie is about 50 calories.
Let me know if you have any other questions, Ann! Thanks!
Wow!!
This Sounds soo good and Tasty!!
Thanks for sharing the Brownie recipe
It’s delicious! Hope you enjoyed it Genevia! 🙂
That’s such a small amount of sweet potato… how can this recipe possibly serve 9
Hey Andrea! Honestly I think the author’s brownie portions are smaller than the size I cut haha! 😉 I usually double the recipe anyway to make more. Let me know how it turns out for you! Warm Hugs, ~Tarashaun
What size pan is needed for this recipe? It’s not mentioned in the recipe, unless I missed it some how?
Also, 5/8 cup would be 10 TB, correct?
This recipe looks fantastic. I do not have any stevia on hand, though. If I wanted to sub in honey, how much do you think I would need? Thank you!
