How to Make It
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare brownies by combining flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. In a food processor or blender, combine sweet potato, honey, oil and vanilla. Purée until combined and smooth. Gradually mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until combined. Do not over-mix. In a separate dry bowl, whisk egg whites until fluffy. Then, using a spatula, gently fold egg whites into batter.
