Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups mashed sweet potato from approx 1 large potato (2.5 cups cubed)
  • ½ cup mashed banana from approx 2 medium bananas (use RIPE bananas)
  • 70 grams oat flour approx. ½ cup + 2 tbsp, use gluten-free if preferred
  • 50 grams brown rice flour approx. ¼ cup (or use more oat flour)
  • 70 grams rolled oats approx. ½ cup + 2 tbsp
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 375℉/190℃, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cube your sweet potatoes, place them in a pan or pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, approx 8-10 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Then mash well using a potato masher.
  3. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan with your mashed sweet potato and mix well. The batter will be thick.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to make your cookie balls and place them on your baking tray. Then, gently press each one down with a fork to flatten and shape them. Bake the sweet potato cookies for 15-18 minutes, until golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.

Notes

  • Leftovers will keep in a sealed container at room temperature for 1-2 days, refrigerated for 3-4 days, or freeze them airtight for up to 3 months.
  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spotted skins. Since these cookies are naturally sweetened, you want to use very ripe and sweet bananas.
  • If possible, use a scale to weigh your ingredients for the best results. If you do not have a kitchen scale, spoon and level your flour into your measuring cup. Don't scoop from the bag, or you may end up with too much.
  • If you don't have oat or brown rice flour, you may use all-purpose whole wheat flour with similar results. Use 110g (approx ¾ cup) only if you're not avoiding gluten.
  • You can make brown rice flour and oat flour if you don't have any on hand. I grind the ingredients in my Vitamix.
