The day before:

Bake your sweet potatoes: place 1 large sweet potato or 2 small ones directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Once cooked, remove the skin and let cool completely.

For microwave cooking: place 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes in an bowl. Puncture the skin with a fork and wrap in paper towels. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the sweet potato.

Brownie

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Butter a medium-sized square or rectangular pan.

Mash the sweet potatoes.

Melt the butter in the microwave.

In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, cream cheese and yogurt. Use a hand mixer to combine all ingredients until smooth.

Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients.

Add the chocolate chips to the batter and mix gently.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let brownies cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy !
