Ingredients

1/2 cup quick oats, or rolled oats blitzed in a food processor
1/2 cup flour, whole wheat, white wheat, all-purpose or gluten-free blend
1/2 cooked sweet potato, mashed or pureed
3 tbsp peanut or almond butter
3 tsp hemp seeds (optional)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325° F. Line or spray a baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the oats, flour, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and baking powder until well incorporated.
Add in the cooked sweet potato and peanut butter.
Mix until well incorporated.
Scoop dough out into 1" balls and then flatten into disks as the batter will not spread. The cookie batter will be slightly sticky, so I found it helps to gently wet your hands before handling the dough. Place the flattened cookies onto the greased cookie sheet.
Place the cookie sheet into the oven and then bake for 10-12 minutes or until just golden brown.
Let cool and then serve.
