Sweet Potato and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients


2/3 cup whole oats

1/8 cup ground rice*

1/8 tsp sea salt

¾ tsp baking powder

½ cup boiled mashed sweet potatoes

¼ cup whole raisins

1 tbs water (more if needed)

1 tbs grapeseed oil (or other neutral flavored vegetable oil)

½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips** (or cacao nibs)


*coarse ground rice for a crunchy texture

**In Trinidad try Suneaters or Cocobel Chocolate


Directions


Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.


In a large bowl, combine until well mixed, the oats, ground rice, salt, baking powder. Add the

mashed sweet potatoes, incorporate to form a loose crumbly mix.


Process the raisins in a blender with the water and oil to form a thick but smooth-ish puree.


Add the raisin puree, the vanilla extract and the chocolate chips to the sweet potato mix. Knead the


mixture until the dough comes together to form a loose ball. Add more water if necessary to hold the dough together.


Pinch off pieces of the dough and roll into smaller balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Place the rounds on the baking tray and press into disks about 1/4 inch thick with space between each cookie.


Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.


Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
