How to Make Chocolate Chip Sweet Potato Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. Mash 2 lbs cooked sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of reserved sweet potato syrup until smooth.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground allspice, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup packed brown sugar at medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  6. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients, then add the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  8. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  9. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the top.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached and the top is lightly browned.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
