Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and 1 cup of softened butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually beat in the grated sweet potato, flour, pecans, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well after each addition until the batter is smooth and well combined. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (35 minutes)

06

Step

While the brownies are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a thin, pourable consistency. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Once the brownies are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, pour the glaze evenly over the warm brownies. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Allow the glaze to set completely before slicing and serving. (30 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened butter.
To intensify the chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
