Ingredients
- 1 1/4 Cup Sweet Potato About 2 medium sweet potatoes mashed/pureed. I blended mine in my food processor before using.
- 2 Cups White Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda
- 2 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter 1 stick, Room temperature
- 1 Cup Coconut Sugar Can sub brown sugar
- 1 Egg Room temperature
- 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare sweet potato by either 1. baking at 425 for 45-55 minutes and removing sweet potato from the skin, or 2. Peel and chop sweet potatoes into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes, cooking for about 15 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain water and mash potatoes, then set aside to cool. I placed my sweet potatoes in my food processor and blended/pureed them until no chunks were visible.
- In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
- Combine butter and coconut sugar until smooth, then add room temperature egg and vanilla. Once the sweet potato has cooled off a bit (should be warm, not hot) add it to the sugar mixture.
- Stir flour mixture into sweet potato mix, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Scoop dough onto a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until slightly crisp on the outside. Baking time will depend on size.
