SWEET POTATO AND CINNAMON BROWNIES

Has it been one of those days? Do you just want to eat a brownie and call it a day? What about these Sweet Potato and Cinnamon Brownies? They are healthy, eat clean and won’t break the calorie bank. Try these brownies tonight!

He & She Tip: Brownies fresh from the oven will have a cake-like texture. If you desire more of a brownie texture, refrigeration overnight is recommended.
