Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium)
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg to the wet mixture. Stir until a thick, uniform batter forms.
- Incorporate Mix-ins: Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts or pecans evenly throughout the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a spoon, scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each scoop slightly to form cookie shapes.
- Bake: Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
