Prep: 15 min · Cook: 30 min · Yield: 16 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 1 cup sweet potato puree
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment, leaving overhang on two sides. (about 5 min) — 350°F
2. Melt the butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes. (about 7 min) — Medium heat
3. Whisk the brown butter, sweet potato puree, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. (about 2 min)
4. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Fold the dry mixture into the sweet potato mixture just until no dry streaks remain. (about 3 min)
5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. (about 30 min) — 350°F
6. Cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment and cut into 16 squares. (about 30 min)
