Ingredients
  

  • 2 sweet potatoes (medium, or 1 1/3 cup canned mashed sweet potatoes)
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (optional, or add other nuts and seeds of your choice)

Instructions
 

  • Make some holes with a fork into the sweet potatoes. Then, place them on a baking tray and bake for about an hour at 200 C/ 400 F.
  • After they have cooled, remove the skin and mash them.
  • Place the old-fashioned rolled oats into a blender or food processor and blend until they transform into flour.
  • Transfer the flour into a mixing bowl along with the mashed sweet potatoes, peanut butter, and pumpkin seeds. Mix until well combined.
  • Take around 2 tbsp (but doesn't matter, frankly; you can make them as small or big as you wish) and make a cookie shape. The cookies won't spread while baking, so you can place them close each to other.
  • Using a fork, press gently on the cookies horizontally and then vertically (watch the video below).
  • Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes at 175 C/ 350 F.
  • Let them cool on a cooking rack for about 10 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Add your desired nuts/seeds, or even dried fruits into the batter. Make sure not to add more than 1/4 cup of additional ingredients. 
  2. Use canned mashed sweet potatoes instead of baking them on your own. It will save you a lot of time, for sure!
  3. Add some maple syrup or honey if you want sweeter cookies. Do not add more than 1/4 cup of sweetener.
  4. If the batter is too wet, add more oat flour.
