Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS:

  • ¼ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup millet flour
  • ¾ cup quick oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

WET INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 3 Tablespoons sweet potato puree cooked and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-5 Tablespoons milk of your choice
  • ¼ cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt).
  • Stir in the oil, honey, sweet potato, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir in four tablespoons of your choice of milk along with the chocolate (save some for the tops, if you like). The dough should be coming together at this point, but if not, add in a bit more milk.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 10 equal-sized portions. I use a mini cookie scoop and don't flatten the cookies. I feel it adds a cute element to their appearance!
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
  • Cool completely in order to keep their shape.
