Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Incorporate the Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. If you like, you can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
