Sweet potato cookies with cassave flour – gluten, grain, eggfree and AIP Paleo
These healthy breakfast cookies are slightly crisp on the outside and soft and chewy in the middle. The base for these cookies is oven roasted (or steamed or cooked if you prefer) sweet potato. Mixed with cassave flour for a unique twist, and a bit of coconut flower sugar and coconut oil. Combined with the warm and comforting notes of cinnamon and vanilla.
AIP Paleo
These cookies are perfect for the elimination phase of the AIP Paleo protocol. Because of the sweetness of the potatoes, cinnamon and vanilla you only need to add a little bit of coconut flower sugar. Which is also needed for the crispy texture.
Medical medium
These cookies are also Medical Medium friendly. But since I use just a little bit of oil: they are not fatfree and preferably should not be eaten in the morning.
