How to cook deliciously - Sweet Potato Brownies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the sweet potato puree, sugar, peanut butter, oil, egg and vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth, two to three minutes. Editor's Tip: Now would be a great time to grease the baking pan. Use an 8-inch square baking pan for these chocolate brownies with sweet potato.

2. Stage

Sift in the baking cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine. Editor's Tip: A key brownie mistake to avoid is overmixing the batter. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined to make the best brownies. Fold in half the chocolate chips.

3. Stage

Spread the batter into the greased 8-inch square baking pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips and the chopped walnuts, if desired. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the brownies cool on a wire rack. Editor's Tip: Overbaking will result in dry brownies. When the edges begin to crinkle and crack, it's a tell-tale sign your brownies are done. Inserting a toothpick in the center will help you double-check.
