Notes

This recipe is best with japanese sweet potatoes, but regular sweet potatoes will do!

You can cook sweet potatoes whole in the instant pot, you don't even have to prick them with a fork. To cook sweet potatoes, add the trivet to the bottom of the instant pot. Add 1 cup of water and stack the sweet potatoes on the trivet. Close the instant pot and cook for 15 minutes of high pressure. Let pressure naturally release.

Storage: Store these brownies in a air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
