I only realized the clickbait-y potential of these brownies after I made them. I don't need to list the exhausting amount of tags that apply to this recipe again, but man, am I proud of myself. I don't think the Internet is prepared for something that is the impossible intersection of so many hyper-specific Venn Diagram circles: healthy, easy, lazy, AND delicious?! Clickbait brownies.

In case my words didn't speak for themselves. Aren't they gorgeous?

My recipe is the easier/healthier version of one super decadent sweet potato brownie recipe, and the more delicious version of one easy sweet potato brownie recipe. I tweaked, tested, and tasted these revisions, and I present to you the Clickbait Brownie recipe, chock-full of easy customizations for your tastebuds.
