- 1.25 cups mashed sweet potato from approx 1 large potato 2.5 cups cubed
- 1/2 cup mashed banana from approx 2 medium bananas use RIPE bananas

Notes
I make my own oat flour, which is super easy as well. Simply blend rolled oats. For this specific recipe, I roughly ground the oats, to give my cookies a little extra texture and crunch.
Store these healthy cookies in the fridge and eat within 3 days – in the unlikely event, they aren’t eaten straight away.
