Sweet Potato and Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups Sweet Potato (2 med sweet potatoes)- mashed
1 ripe Banana- mashed
2 Eggs
3 Tbsp Coconut Oil or Ghee or butter- melted
2 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Coconut Flour
1/4 cup Maple Sugar or Raw Coconut Sugar

1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (Enjoy Life brand)
Preparation:
Peel and chop sweet potatoes and steam 15-20 mins, they are done when you can easily slide a fork in them. Mash and allow to cool 15 mins in refrigerator. Mash ripe banana into sweet potato mixture. While sweet potato and banana mixture are cooling, preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine and sift coconut flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside. Crack eggs in a bowl and mix with hand mixer or kitchen mixer for 1 minute. Add sweet potato banana mixture, coconut oil, and vanilla and mix. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix to combine, add chocolate chips and mix. Using a small scoop or ice cream scooper arrange cookie dough on sheet, you will need to lightly press down on the scoops to form cookies, or they will come out as balls instead of the flat cookie shape. Cook in oven for 30 mins. Allow to cool for 10 mins and enjoy. Serve with your favorite ice cream, some homemade coconut whip cream or alone and ENJOY!
It may seem like a lot of steps but really it is so easy. I highly suggest buying a big bag of coconut flour on Amazon. Its amazing how long it will be before you need more and its cheaper.
