Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sweet potato cooked and mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2/3 cup sugar or Monk Fruit Sweetener for a low sugar option
  • 1 cup peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice. It works better if it isn’t chilled. The microwave can be used to soften it but be careful not to cook it.
  • 1/2 tbsp chocolate syrup I suggest Hershey’s Simply 5 because it is allergy-friendly
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp oat flour or other flour of your choice
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life Allergy-Friendly Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips. Soy Free Sales are corn-free as well as allergy-free.
  • 3 tbsp Mini M&Ms or allergy-friendly replacements. Extra to add on top of cookies if you desire.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325
  • Line a baking sheet with parchments paper or a silicone liner.
  • In a large mixing bowl add nut butter, sweet potatoes, vanilla, and chocolate syrup.
  • Whisk together to mix well.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add flour mixture to sweet potato mixture and stir to combine.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and mini M&Ms.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, place mounds of dough on prepared cookie sheet. Gently press mounds to slightly flatten. I flatten the cookies to about half the size.
  • Add a few M&Ms on top if desired and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let them sit for 3-5 minutes, as they will be fragile until cooled.
  • Move to a cooling rack to reach room temperature.

Notes

These peanut butter brownie cookies are freezer friendly and just as yummy frozen too! They also make amazing sandwich cookies with vanilla frosting in between too!
