2 Ingredient Sweet Potato Cookies
These easy cookies make a healthy snack. Just 2 ingredients and they don't contain any flour, added sugar, eggs, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 g) sweet potato puree
- 1 cup (86 g) quick oats, see notes for almond flour version
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet potato and quick oats. Stir until evenly mixed and oats are fully incorporated. There should not be any dry oats.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough balls and place onto prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Use the palm of your hand to press down on each cookie dough ball to flatten into a thick round disk. The cookies will not spread or rise during baking so how you shape the cookies is how they will be when they are finished. You can smooth edges, reshape, etc, as needed.
- Bake cookies for about 11-13 minutes or until done. When cookies are done, you should be able to release the cookie from the baking sheet using a cookie spatula without the middle of the cookie getting stuck or breaking apart. Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- Recipe can be doubled if you want more cookies.
- These are healthy snack cookies. They do not have the texture of classic oatmeal cookies. The oat version is chewy and similar to baked oatmeal, but firmer and in cookie form. The almond flour version will be slightly firm on the outside and soft on the inside.
- These cookies have no added sugar so they are not very sweet, but can easily be customized. If you want sweeter cookies you can either add chocolate chips, dried fruit, or add about 3 tbsp of sugar. If adding sugar, I recommend mixing it into the sweet potato first before adding the oats.
- To make the almond flour version, use 1/3 cup sweet potato puree and 1 1/2 cups super fine almond flour.
- Estimated nutrition is for the quick oats version of the cookies.
