I saw this recipe posted on my Google+ page and wondered if anyone here would have any ideas how to make tis raw or if it would even be possible? Thanks! Tricia
Sweet Potato Bites
Adapted from Surly Kitchen
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 tbsp pure maple syrup [Grade B or C - Less Processed]
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cayenne
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
3 to 4 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
1 to 2 tbsp brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want them to be)
Wrap the sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 375°F until tender, about 40-60 minutes (If you are pressed for time, you could cook the potatoes in the microwave instead). Remove from oven and let cool.
Peel the potatoes and mash in a bowl. Add the cinnamon, maple syrup, nutmeg and cayenne and mix thoroughly.
Combine the walnuts, oats, coconut and brown sugar on a shallow plate for coating the balls.
Scoop out portions of the sweet potato mixture using a tablespoon measure and roll into a ball with your hands. Roll each ball in the topping mixture, then place in a greased 8x8 baking dish.
Bake at 375°F until the topping is golden brown, 20-30 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature. You could also serve these with toothpicks if desired.
Makes about 24 balls
