Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet potato (mashed, cooked)
- 1 cup Oats (rolled or quick-cooking)
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, and melted coconut oil. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. The dough will be sticky and slightly thick.
If using, fold in dark chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts to the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten lightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden brown on the bottom.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy as a healthy snack or dessert!
