Sweet Potato Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies - Paleo

By á-1025

Ingredients

• 1 small sweet potato or yam (I used a sweet potato since they are white and would look more like a regular cookie)*
• 1/2 cup smooth almond butter
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 scoop (35 grams) Vanilla Primal Fuel
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Poke holes in a sweet potato with a knife then place in oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until sweet potato is completely soft. Then let cool. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
Peel sweet potato away from skin and place in a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until soft.
Add almond butter, egg, honey and vanilla and mix well. Then add protein powder, cinnamon and salt and mix well.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out batter and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. The batter should make 12-13 cookies.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Do not overcook.

Notes
*If you use already pureed sweet potato or yam, the amount will be around 1 cup
