I not only love these purple sweet potato cookies because of how pretty they are, but they are a great way to eat resistant starch that is cooked and cooled, which is really smart if you want to triple the benefits for your gut health.

Further Food Commentary:

These purple sweet potato cookies are as delicious as they are pretty! Purple sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, Vitamin B6 and Iron and are known for helping to improve our blood sugar regulation. They are also known for their high antioxidant content, specifically anthocyanin, which not only gives them their beautiful color but has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties!

    @Hellen – You can skip the orange juice, add a little more hemp milk or whatever liquid you use and if you want the orange taste add some organic orange zest or even lemon zest.
