Description
Delicious and healthy breakfast cookies made with sweet potatoes, oats, and warm spices, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium, cooked & mashed)
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour (or regular flour)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- ⅓ 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, egg, maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Gently fold in the optional chopped nuts and dried fruit if you’re using them.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, slightly flattening each scoop.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cookies are set and golden on the bottom.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack; they will firm up nicely as they cool down.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
