- 1 cup pecans
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour*
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 7/8 cup cooked and mashed sweetpotato**
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sugar for rolling
Place the pecans in a food processor and process to the texture of coarse sand. Add the oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt and pulse in until combined.
Add the mashed sweetpotato, maple syrup and vanilla extract and process until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture clumps together into a dough.
Shape dough into small balls (about 3/4 ounce each, or the size of a ping-pong ball) and roll in cinnamon-sugar to coat.
These keep best if placed in individual mini muffin liners and kept in an airtight container. If needed, roll in cinnamon sugar again before serving. * This recipe is gluten-free if made with gluten-free oat flour. **To make the mashed sweetpotato, place in a pot of boiling water and cook for 25-30 minutes, until fork-tender. Carefully remove from water, peel and mash with a fork. Allow to cool before using in recipe.
