Equipment
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cooked sweet potato about 1 medium
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup can increase to 1/2 cup to make these sweeter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rolled oats certified gluten free if needed
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potato, peanut butter, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix with a whisk or spatula until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, raisins, baking soda, cinnamon, sea salt, and chocolate chips. Add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture, and stir until well combined.
- Roll batter into 12 balls (it will be sticky), and place them on the lined baking sheet, evenly spaced. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- To cook the sweet potato in advance, scrub it clean and use a fork to poke several holes all around the skin. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the center rack in the oven and put the sweet potato on top. Roast at 400 degrees F for 45-60 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
- Substitutions: almond butter in place of peanut butter or dried cherries or cranberries instead of raisins
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3-5 days or in the fridge. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
