Sweet Potato and Orange Cookies

Print

Sweet potato and orange is one of my favorite combinations. When I sought to create a unique, healthy, guilt-free cookie that I could share with my young son, it seemed like a winning combo. It was!

Further Food Commentary:

I love recipes with five ingredients or less especially when it comes to desserts! Whole foods taste great, no need for added preservatives or simple sugar! This recipe is loaded with antioxidants, fiber and vitamin C all of which help your immunity, fight free radicals and prevent disease! Additionally there is no milk or dairy used in this recipe which makes it eczema friendly! Who doesn’t love a guilt-free sweet treat?
