Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp Oat flour ~ gluten-free if needed
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
  • 1/2 tsp Pumpkin spice ~ optional homemade version
  • 1/4 cup Sweet potato puree Canned sweet potato is fine but not pie filling.
  • 2 Tbsp Salted butter ~ cold
  • 1 Tbsp Milk or non-dairy substitute
  • 3/4 cup Blueberries or raspberries ~ I prefer to use fresh when in season
  • 2 Tbsp Walnuts ~ finely chopped optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl add oat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and pumpkin spice. Stir well.
  • Cut cold butter into the flour mixture.
  • Stir in the sweet potato puree and milk. When it is combined carefully fold in blueberries and optional nuts.
  • Divide the dough into 3 sections and form mounds onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18 minutes.
  • Enjoy while warm or at room temperature
  • Store in an airtight container for about 3 days.

Notes

** To make powdered sugar icing or drizzle, add these three ingredients together in a bowl:
  1. 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar
  2. 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  3. 1 tbsp milk, regular or non-dairy
Add more milk as necessary to get the desired consistency. This will make about 1/2 cup of icing.
