Cinnamon Sweet Potato Breakfast Cookies are a healthy and delicious way to start your day, packed with nutrients and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir until incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the rolled oats, and if using, add the chopped nuts and raisins (or chocolate chips). Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, ensure that the oats are certified gluten-free.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth and flavor.
