Cinnamon Sweet Potato Breakfast Cookies

🥕 Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional, for added sweetness)

🥣 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven — Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients — In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, vanilla, and maple syrup (if using). Stir until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients — Mix in the oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined — the mixture should be thick but scoopable.
  4. Form Cookies — Scoop out spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
  5. Bake — Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool & Enjoy — Let cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
