Sweet Potato Dark Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies? Oooooh, yes. You heard that correctly: Sweet potato + dark chocolate + protein. Clearly, they’re not your typical cookie.

The ingredients in these cookies are semi-healthy since they’re made with nutritious sweet potato and rolled oats, but the inclusion of dark chocolate morsels, creamy almond butter, and brown sugar make them an incredibly decadent treat at the same time. A scoop of vanilla protein powder adds some additional sweetness, but, more importantly, some serious staying power for an all-around stellar cookie that can be enjoyed as a pre- or post-workout snack as well as a dessert. I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as I do!
