Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Stir until incorporated.
  4. Gradually fold in the rolled oats, and if using, add the chopped nuts and raisins (or chocolate chips). Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
