Very satisfying treat. I had to sub with sorghum flour and they still turned out great! I also used 10 grams of psyllium powder with fine results. These were fairly easy, too. The dough is not sticky at all.

I just made these and they are delicious. They have just the right amount of moisture and flavor and are quite a treat right out of the oven. I followed the recipe as written and found it very quick and easy to make (sweet potato was cooked ahead of time).

These are really good. Feels like I am eating a bread product! I didn't have whole psyllium husks but had ground, so used half the amount. I also added some ground vanilla bean powder. They are a little dry, but that's my fault because I forgot to add the water! I am sure they will be much better next time if I can remember the water. I also might add more cinnamon.
