How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious sweet potatoes that are not fibrous
- Buy sweet potatoes that are intact, not cracked or chipped. When holding the potato, it should feel heavy, firm, and not bruised.
- Choose potatoes that are round or elongated, without too much curvature; when squeezed gently, they should not be too hard. These potatoes usually have less fiber, more starch, and are very sweet.
- When buying, avoid selecting potatoes that are too small, long, or have a waist or dent, as they will have more fiber and won’t taste good.
- Be cautious if you see potatoes with black spots or pitting, as this is a sign that they have spoiled.
What is oatmeal? Where to buy oatmeal?
- Oatmeal is made from oats, a whole grain with high nutritional value (also known as a super grain). Oats are rich in nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein, which are very good for health.
- Oatmeal can be easily found in supermarkets, markets, or specialty baking ingredient stores nearby or on e-commerce websites.
- In addition, you can also buy oats at the TasteVN supermarket chain or quickly order online on the website bachhoaxanh.com.

How to Make Sweet Potato Oatmeal Cookies

Prepare the Ingredients
Buy chives (or green onions), wash them thoroughly with water, and chop them into small pieces about 1 finger length.
Next, wash the sweet potatoes with water and peel off the skin, then cut the sweet potatoes into small rounds and steam until soft.
After the sweet potatoes are steamed, put them in a bowl and mash them until smooth while they are still hot.
Tip: To achieve a golden color and natural sweetness, you should use Japanese sweet potatoes instead of other types of sweet potatoes.
-
Dough Mixing
Mix the dough by gradually adding 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with 50gr of oat flour into the mashed potato mixture and mix well.
After mixing the potato mixture well, add the chopped chives and knead into a dough ball.
Tip: When kneading the dough, if you find it too dry, add a little water; if it is too wet, add oat flour. Because depending on whether the sweet potato is starchy or dry, your dough will vary.
-
Shaping the Cookies
Next, lay a layer of parchment paper on the dough kneading mat or a flat surface, then place the dough ball in the center and fold the parchment paper over to prevent sticking while rolling.
Roll the dough evenly until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Note: To make the cookies taste better, you need to pay attention to rolling it to the right thickness. If the dough is rolled too thin, it may burn when baked. If rolled too thick, the cookies will be greasy and become soggy quickly.Then, use a knife to cut the rolled-out dough into even rectangular pieces. Next, place the cut pieces into the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
-
To make the cookies crispier, preheat the air fryer to 180 degrees for 5 minutes.
Then, take the dough pieces out of the refrigerator and spread them evenly on the surface of the air fryer basket, then bake the cookies at 160 degrees for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the cookies and bake a second time at the same temperature and duration.
Tips for baking better sweet potato oatmeal cookies:- To prevent the cookies from burning while baking, since they are rolled thin, you need to adjust the time to be shorter with moderate temperature, so check the doneness of the cookies frequently.
- To keep the cookies even crispier, you should store them in a jar in the refrigerator, and when eating, you can bake them again to make them crunchier.
