1 cup sweet potato (boiled and mashed)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup almond flour*
1 1/2 cup spelt flour
1/3 cup nuts (optional, I used sunflower seeds)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees ºF.

Mix sweet potato, oil, honey and egg in a bowl.

Add in all the dry ingredients: salt, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, almond and spelt flour, and mix well. Fold in nuts.

Drop batter by tablespoonfuls unto a prepared cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. After 5 minutes in the oven, press cookies down lightly with a fork.

Let cool and enjoy!

*You can grind your own almond flour by placing whole almonds in a blender/food processor and blending until you get a fine meal.

Anyone try omitting the honey and using pure stevia or applesauce?

I would substitute a gluten free flour in place of the spelt.

These are delicious! I made a couple changes though:

1/2 cup coconut flour (instead of 1.5 cups of spelt flour)

3 eggs (instead of 1 egg)

1/4 tsp nutmeg + 1/4 tsp allspice (instead of cloves)
