How to Make Secret Ingredient Chocolate Brownies Light

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  3. Lightly grease the foil-lined pan.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) margarine and 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate morsels over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
  7. Stir in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup (70g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup (120g) cooked and mashed sweet potato, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional).
  11. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
  13. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the foil overhang.
  14. Cut into squares and enjoy!
