Ingredients
  

  • 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.
