Sweet Potato Cookies Recipe: A healthy snack you can make in the air fryer

Sweet Potato Cookie Recipe for a Healthy Dessert

Today, I'm sharing a healthy sweet potato cookie recipe that's easy to make in the airfryer and topped with honey or allulose for a healthy, sweet treat. The flavor of the sweet potato is captured, but the texture is soft and chewy. The cooking time may seem long, but you'll spend less than 10 minutes in the airfryer, and the rest of the time is spent working. Let's get started with this easy and simple sweet potato cookie recipe.

Benefits of Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium, which help boost the immune system, promote digestion, and regulate blood pressure. They're also high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that's great for skin health and anti-aging. Their low glycemic index makes them a reliable source of energy and a popular diet snack.

The creation process

Preparing sweet potatoes

Start by washing the sweet potato: soak it in cold water for five minutes to remove any dirt and debris that may have stuck to it. Then, scrub it under running water with a brush or sponge, or if you don't have one, scrub it thoroughly by hand. Remove all of the skin, or leave some on for color.

Make the dough

Cut the sweet potato into small cubes. Prepare 1 egg, well beaten.

In a bowl, whisk together the sweet potato cubes, egg, and 2 T of the starchy flour. It's important that the batter is evenly mixed.

Shaping cookies

Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful onto a piece of paper foil and shape it into whatever shape you like. The shape doesn't matter, but be careful not to stack them too high or they won't cook evenly.

Burning

Place in an air fryer or oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 25 minutes for the first round. Brush with honey, allulose, or oligosaccharide for extra shine and sweetness, then bake for an additional 5 minutes.

They're done when they're golden brown on the outside after 5 minutes. If you don't get the color you want, bake for another minute or two. Let the cookies cool slightly before eating.

5 tips for success

• When washing sweet potatoes, don't let them soak in water for long periods of time or they will lose all of their nutrients.
• If you see a lot of black dots on the cut side of the sweet potato, it's probably spoiled or infected and should be discarded.
• If the eggs are too large and the batter is too runny, add a little bit of cornstarch to adjust the viscosity.
• If you're on a diet and worried about calories, try allulose instead of honey.
• You can use any type of starchy flour.

Closing thoughts

Today's sweet potato cookie recipe is an easy way to eat sweet potatoes instead of sweets. It's also a healthy snack that's low in calories and high in fiber to help you lose weight, so be sure to give it a try. Have a delicious day 😊.
