1 cup butter (I used 1 stick I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and 1 stick real butter)
1 cup packed brown sugar (I used 3/4 cup brown sugar/Splenda blend)
1 cup white sugar (I used 3/4 cup)
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used self-rising flour & omitted the baking powder & salt)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional but I recommend it)
2 cups peeled and finely shredded yam (I peeled them and shredded them with the food processor)
3/4 to 1 cup chopped pecans (optional but I added them)

Glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons milk

(I didn't use the glaze - they're plenty sweet without it)

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt (unless you're using AP flour) & cinnamon; stir into the batter just until blended. Fold in the shredded yam. Spread the batter evenly in the greased baking dish.
3.Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean.

4. Mix together the confectioners' sugar, butter and milk until smooth. Spread over the brownies while they are still warm. They will absorb some of the glaze. Serve hot or warm.

I should have proofed this. In the instructions where I say (unless you're using AP flour), that should be "unless you're using self-rising flour."
