Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes until soft. Set aside to cool slightly and mash with a fork until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line and grease a 8×8-inch square pan.
Melt the bittersweet chocolate and coconut oil together, either in a double boiler or in the microwave, making sure to stir every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs and brown sugar for about 5 minutes until lighter in colour and viscous.
On low speed, pour in chocolate and coconut oil mixture and the cocoa powder mixture. Add the sweet potato and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, smooth out the top and bake for 35-38 minutes, until a toothpick when inserted comes out mostly clean.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.
