Paleo Style Brownies

1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato (skin removed)
1 cup mashed avocado
1 cup almond butter (smooth / creamy)
6 Tablespoons granulated maple sugar (rounded Tbsps)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup coconut milk
6 Tablespoons Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Preheat oven @ 325 degrees. Grease bottom & sides of a 9" x 13" baking pan and place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of pan and grease top of parchment paper in pan. Set pan aside.

In a large bowl beat cooked mashed sweet potato and avocado smooth with electric hand mixer.  Next add almond butter, egg, vanilla extract, and coconut milk and continue beating.  Add cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda beating smooth.  Remove beaters and stir in mini chocolate chips and chopped pecans.  Empty into prepared pan evenly and place in preheated 325 degree oven and bake from 50 minutes - 1 hour (depending on your oven).  Brownies should be somewhat firm to the touch.  Cool completely on countertop.  Best if refrigerated to chill before slicing.  Will be a soft semi-moist brownie when served.  Refrigerate leftovers.
