Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240 g)
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (130 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp each ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature (1 stick, 112 g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (110 g)
  • ½ cup white sugar (110 g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 mL)
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips or chunks (250 g)

Instruction

  • Mash Potatoes: Peel and chop sweet potatoes into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes, cooking for about 15 minutes, until fork tender. Drain water and mash potatoes, then set aside to cool some.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  • Wet Ingredients: Combine butter and sugars until smooth, then add egg and vanilla. Once sweet potato has cooled off a bit (should be warm, not hot) add it to the sugar mixture.
  • Dries + Wets: Stir flour mix into sweet potato mix, then fold in chocolate chips.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly crisp on the outside (do not over bake! They may look soft in the center; that’s perfect!) Let cool on the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a container.
