The main ingredient in these brownies is sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes contain more potassium than bananas. They are a wonderful source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin A, Vitamin C, Manganese, Vitamin B 6 and so much more.

You can use raw cacao powder or dutch process cocoa powder. Either work!
