I had a bag of sweet potatoes, so I figured I’d use a few for a brownie experiment. I just worked with what I had in my kitchen. Maybe it's because I'm a chocolate hater but this came out way too bitter and nowhere near sweet enough. I ended up saving it with a layer of cream cheese frosting but this is a WORK IN PROGRESS ðŸ˜£ 


QUICK INFO

  • Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Stab with a fork and spray with oil. Bake at 400F for 1 hour.

  • Brownies will bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes. I then lowered it to 325F and baked an extra 5 minutes.


  • Servings cut into 9 squares: 249 Calories, Protein 10.6g, Sugar 5.3g,  Fiber 6.8g
  • Servings cut into 12 squares: 188 Calories, Protein 8g, Sugar 3.7g, Fiber 5.1g


Ingredients

- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup of sun butter original
- 2 large eggs
 -1/2 cup great value Greek plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup maple grove sugar-free syrup
- 2/3 cup great value cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda



I'm sure the small bits of sweet potatoes could be hidden if an immersion blender was used. I didn't taste potato and the texture was more like a cake.🤔 




Sweetener Options:

Sugar alternatives

1/3 cup Honey

100% Pure maple syrup

Maybe vanilla extract?

I prefer my bagels with cream cheese and this was still too tangy with the brown sugar addition.  Next time experiment with maple syrup/honey/etc.  

QUICK INFO

  • Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes at the very top of your oven. 
  • 4 servings,  Estimated 160~ calories with 10g protein. 

  • Reserve some egg for the egg wash!

Ingredients
- 5 oz/140 grams of All Purpose Flour (about one cup)
- 1 cup (8 oz/224 grams) nonfat thick Greek yogurt like Fage 
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp brown sugar

*Remember to knead the dough mixture for a few minutes.

For my second attempt, I boiled it in water and baking soda for a chewy crust then baked it.








This is what the bagel looks like if it's not boiled. It comes out slightly bigger and fluffy-looking. The outside texture is softer and the inside is still dense. Boiled has a better outside texture.



Note: Made another batch but added 1 scoop of protein casein powder and 1 tsp honey. The flavor was better but this combo came out burnt and underdone.
