Brownies, blondies, call ’em what you will.
I tried a brownie recipe a while ago using sweet potato as the 'fat'. It was rich and gooey and luscious.(http://cookwitch.blogspot.com/2010/07/turkish-delight-brownies-variation.html)Now I want to try a variation, simply because I am dying to try and make lilac brownies.
