Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c mashed cooked sweet potatoes or yams (2 small baked sweet potatoes)
3 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 c whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground nutmeg
nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. I didn't have any fresh sweet potatoes so I used canned sweet potatoes instead.
  • 2. Combine sweet potatoes, oil, vinegar, syrup, and salt in large bowl. Sift in flour baking powder, and nutmeg.
  • 3. Cut dry ingredients into sweet potato mixture with a fork until the mixture comes together. Stir in 2 to 3 Tbsp. water, or enough to get dough to hold together.
  • 4. Drop golf ball sized rounds of dough onto prepared kaing sheet. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, or until tops are lightly browned and firm to the touch. Serve warm. You can roll the dough out and cut with a 2 inch round cutter too.
