Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking tray

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes about 1 medium-sized sweet potato, roasted and peeled
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (use almond flour instead)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired)
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (or raisins/walnuts)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Sweet Potato: Wash the sweet potato thoroughly.
    Pierce it several times with a fork. Roast the sweet potato in the oven for about 45-50 minutes or until it's very soft.
    Once it's cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and mash the sweet potato in a bowl until smooth. Measure out 1 cup for the recipe.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, almond butter, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
  • Add almond flour, tapioca flour, cacao powder, coconut flour, coconut flakes, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  • Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as they won't spread much during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool and Enjoy!
