TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST FLOURLESS SWEET POTATO BROWNIES IN YOUR BLENDER
SOAK DATES IN HOT WATER. I like to soak dates to soften up the texture so that they blend into your brownies easily and don't leave behind any date chunks.
STIR CHOCOLATE NUT BUTTER EVERY 30 SECONDS IN THE MICROWAVE. It is important to stir the mixture every 30 seconds. This will prevent the chocolate from burning.
COOL CHOCOLATE TO ROOM TEMP. Super hot chocolate might start to cook your eggs.
DO NOT OVER BAKE BROWNIES. This will cause them to dry out.
