Adapted from here.

  • 1/2 cup of almond Butter
  • 1/2 cup of pureed sweet potato (I threw it in the microwave for 6 minutes, then peeled it)
  • 1/4 cup local wild honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla 
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp of real salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup mixed chopped pecans and macadamia nuts
What I did:
  • Turned the oven on at 350 degrees
  • Mixed all ingredients till well integrated
  • Threw a heaping tablespoon mix each on a silicone baking mat
  • Baked for 15 minutes
  • Burnt my tongue tasting one
  • Let the rest cool
They are pretty good, dense, chewy, crunchy, sweet without any sugar in them.
