Coffee kicks in for flavor, sweet potato smooths the texture, and together they become the power couple of plant-based baking.
No eggs, no drama, just one decadent tray of chocolate goodness that even your judgy aunt will call “interesting” with fear in her voice.
Bake them once and suddenly you’re the friend everyone “randomly” visits around dessert time.
