Sweet Potato Cookies
🧡 Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (well-cooked and mashed until smooth)
- 1 cup almond flour (or sub: coconut flour below)
- 1 egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan)
- 1/4 cup coconut or olive oil
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup or honey (natural sweetener substitute for sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
If you need NO sweetener added at all:
→ Replace maple syrup/honey with 2–3 extra tablespoons of mashed sweet potato plus 1–2 Tbsp applesauce.
(This gives slight natural sweetness without added sugars.)
🧡 Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, egg, almond butter, vanilla, and maple syrup/honey (or applesauce).
- Add the almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet and lightly flatten (cookies won’t spread on their own).
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and bottoms lightly golden.
- Let cool for 10 minutes on the pan before moving — they firm up as they cool.
