Sweet Potato Brownies

With a fussy toddler at home my game plan in simple……Hide as many vegetables into his food as possible (hence the sweet potato brownies) so I know he’s at least getting in some goodness.Let me tell you Luca is challenging me lately with his picky eating. I’m not going to lie, it’s a huge pain in the butt especially since Georgia is such a foodie and eats basically everything.Enter my sweet potato brownies.My genius way to get sweet potatoes into Luca's diet as well as filling him up with lots of healthy fats, protein, antioxidants, magnesium, iron, and calcium that come from all the other ingredients I’ve jam-packed into these brownies.I’m obsessed with them, Luca demolishes them, and Georgia…well, Georgia loves anything with chocolate so it's hell yes from her.Here’s the recipe for my Sweet Potato Brownies.
