• 1 medium sweet potato to make 2/3 cup sweet potato mash
• 1/3 cup coconut flour

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash and dry the sweet potato then spear a few times with a knife. Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until soft.
3. Scoop the inside out of the sweet potato and into a medium bowl.
4. Add the coconut flour, tahini, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, and molasses.
5. Stir until well combined. You may need to use your hands to mix, as the dough will become very thick.
