gluten-free roasted sweet potato brownies

We have a few friends who are gluten-free, and we like to experiment every once in awhile, so I picked up some of this gluten-free baking mix at Costco the other day. I, of course, can’t remember how much it was, but, whatever it was, I remember thinking that it was a great deal.

We had some friends over a few weeks ago, one of whom eats gluten-free, so I figured I would test out the new flour on all of them. It’s extra nice because it says that you can substitute it 1-1 with regular all purpose flour. I needed something sweet. I don’t usually check out the brand name’s website for recipes, but I decided to try it this time since I figured they would have possibly better testing for their own flour versus modifying a different recipe. I settled on this sweet potato brownie recipe, and they were a big hit – even for the gluten-eating crowd too. I roasted the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them just because I’m partial to roasting whenever I can and because I thought it would give them a little extra sweetness. No one could figure out the secret ingredient, so I’ll be using this trick again often. I think next time I could even cut down on the sugar and no one would notice (especially if you’re like me and can’t eat a brownie without a scoop of ice cream on the side!).
