- Instructions
- Prep the base: In a mixing bowl, mash the baked sweet potato until smooth. Add the egg and whisk until fully combined.
- Mix wet ingredients: Stir in coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sugar until creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Fold in rice flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. The dough should be thick but spreadable.
- Shape it: Brush a large microwave-safe plate or Pyrex dish with coconut oil. Spread the mixture evenly into a thin layer (about ⅛-inch thick) to ensure even cooking.
- Microwave: Cook on high for 5 minutes, or until firm.
- Cut and bake: Let cool slightly, then use cookie cutters or a knife to slice into shapes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, and you may continue baking if you want them crunchier.
- Finally, leave it a few minutes after baking to cool and enjoy your delicious crackers.
Recipe notes:
- When flattening the mixture on the plate, take care it is not too thin to avoid being burnt when baking.
- It is better not to over bake the crackers as it will become crunchy anyway when it cools.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use a different flour? Yes, almond flour or oat flour works well for extra nuttiness, but adjust to 3-5 tbsp for the right consistency.
- What if I don’t have a microwave? Skip that step and bake the spread-out dough directly at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until set before cutting.
- Are they vegan? Swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water) and use a plant-based sweetener.
- How do I bake the sweet potato? Poke holes, wrap in foil, and bake at 400°F for 45 minutes or microwave for 8-10 minutes until soft.
- Can I freeze them? Absolutely—freeze baked crackers in a single layer for up to 3 months, then thaw at room temp.
