As kids, we were always told that cookies were not an acceptable meal for breakfast. I’d like to know who made up that rule, and then tell them that I’m breaking it.
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Serves 12
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
-
- 1 small sweet potato (approximately 7 ounces)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup date paste
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry sweet potato. Pierce several times with tongs of a fork. Place sweet potato on lined baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, until tender. Remove potato from oven and allow to cool.
- Lower oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove skin from sweet potato. In a large bowl mash flesh of potato with a fork. Break up and large lumps with your hands.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well to form a dough. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the cookie sheets leaving 2-3 inches in between. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
