Guys, my obsession with sweet potatoes is getting real. And although these sweet potato and blueberry jam cookies were kind of an experiment, they actually turned out so good! They are soft, they are chewy and they taste goooood (so good I’m drooling thinking about them!).
These sweet potato cookies are:
- vegan-friendly
- gluten-free
- super easy to make
- naturally sweetened
They can be on your plate in just 20 minutes and require 10 super simple ingredients. What are you waiting for?!
Sweet Potato and Blueberry Jam Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut

- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 3 tbsp peanut butter

- Mix the flaxseed with 2 tablespoons of water and set aside.
