These were very good. I substituted a sweet potato because that's all I had in the house. I also used my food processor to shred the sweet potato--it was a lot easier than using a grater. I didn't put the glaze on the brownies while they were warm, maybe that would have made them five-star. This is also more like a cake.

Excellent! This is definitely not a brownie; more like a cake. I used one whole yam and mixed everything in the food processor. I baked it for 45min since it didn't look cooked. I didn't bother with the icing. Very moist!

These are so wonderful! I would never have thought to use yams in this way! I discovered this recipe when I had an excess of yams in my pantry (during the Thanksgiving season, when they are super cheap) and a craving for something sweet and healthy. I've found the recipe to be pretty forgiving to my inevitable "tweaks" like cutting the sugar a bit, increasing the yam content, or adding different spices or flavourings. Have fun with it! My only criticism would be that the "yammies" end up tasting a little startchy- probably a result of incorporating so much raw yam. You'll definitely want to use the fine shredding side of your grater- otherwise the texture is all off.

I wish I could give this 10 stars. I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with the best glazed cake (since that's really what it is) I've ever had! So moist and yummy. Got rave reviews from everyone who tried it.

My 6 year old son's kindergarten class was working on the letter Y so he had to make something with yams, let everyone in his family try and then write a report on who liked it and who didn't. He picked this recipe. Awesome choice!! These were to die for!! We followed the recipe exactly except we added a little vanilla to the glaze. They were so moist. They were more the consistency of coffee cake than brownies but that does not take away from the great taste. My husband, the world's biggest vegetable hater, even loved them and said that, if I could make vegetables in this form all the time, he would love it! Asparagus brownies??? I'm not so sure. Yam brownies? DEFINITELY!! Thanks for the great recipe!

Great recipe! I added walnuts to my portion and used half whole wheat flour. Next time I think I will cut the white sugar to 1/2 cup. We all loved it.

THESE ROCK! I love the yam flavor, and everyone gobbled it up before they were even cooled. I used baked mashed yam and there were some small chunks left in it which were a hidden treat.

I was skeptical about this but tried it anyway. These are mouth watering! I did substitute regular sugar with Splendid and substituted baked yams for the shredded. It still came out with great results. Everyone loved them!

Oh my gosh, these are sooo good! I just don't even have anything else to say except that you have to try them--I sense that they will become a staple for me! I used some baked yams leftover from Thanksgiving. They were soft enough that I could just stir them in, although there were a few larger (1/4 in. size) pieces of yam left it didn't matter. I think I'll still do that next time--easier than shredding! Also, I used brown sugar in the glaze and it's amazing, nice and crunchy. I may try honey on top next time!

There were no words at our dinner table when I served this; moans and other appreciative noises, but no words. My biggest problem with this recipe is the fantasy that there are 24 servings. No way a 2x2 square of this golden yammy goodness is enough. More realistic is six servings so you get 1/3 cup of yams in every serving and can pretend it's good for you! Even my 2-year-old, who had just eaten enough for a grown man, shoveled this in with two fists (and he hates using his hands). I used 2 medium yams and ended up with way too much so perhaps one medium-largish should do it. I agree with others that perhaps the name brownie is misleading, but we'll just call it something else at our house and use this recipe again!

These were delicious. I'm thinking of leaving off the glaze and serving as a side dish similar to corn pudding. I thought of adding a tiny bit of pumpkin pie spice but these really don't need a thing. They are very sweet. A keeper!
