Easter Sweet Potato Bunnies
Most people make Easter Bunny Cookies and I make Sweet Potato Bunnies. I mean, I can eat sweet potatoes like it’s candy, so it’s allllmost the same thing. Okay, maybe not, but whatever.
Since I missed last weeks Wednesday for Wee Ones, I thought I’d give you a festive one today. If you’re trying to find ways to be festive this easter, but without the lots of sugar, then this could be your answer. It’s super easy too. Since the sweet potatoes are tough to cut through, it’s easiest to bake a few minutes before cutting them out with a cookie cutter.
You could also do this with yukon gold potatoes or even make bunny polenta cakes. Who says cookie cutters are just for cookies? Probably no one.
