But sometimes you might get a bit of a health kick and want to incorporate more veggies into your diet. This is exactly what these brownies are meant for, packed with over a full sweet potato this brownies will help you reach your 5 a day goal! I’ve also included a chocolate sweet potato frosting, and topped it with roasted peanuts. The frosting also works great as a vegan frosting for any other recipes.
