Sweet Potato & Oat Cookies ( for kids )

Nutritious crowd pleaser. I’ve yet to meet a kid that won’t eat these. Considering they are also healthy, we make them a lot. Bonus points: They are really easy.

Ingredients

• 250g sweet potato (roughly 2 sweet potatoes)**
• 100g banana (roughly 1 medium sized)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 Tbps chia seeds
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup flour

Method

1. In a large pot, boil the sweet potato until soft. Tip: If it’s big enough, you can mix everything in the pot to save on dishes.
2. Preheat oven to 180ºC / 350ºF
3. Once the sweet potato is soft, drain and let it sit for 5 mins to dry off.
4. Add the banana to the sweet potato and combine. (I use a fork)
5. Add and combine the all remaining ingredients.
6. Let the mix stand for 5-10 mins. Add water if the dough seems dry.
7. Roll into balls, place on baking paper and press into 1-2 inch cookies.
8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bottom of the cookies starts to brown slightly.
