Sweet Potato Biscuits

One thing I miss about family time is cooking for the kids. Since my daughters are already out of the house, I rarely get to experiment with dishes with the enjoyment of children in mind. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from flicking my magic cooking wand from time to time. And when inspiration hits, it lets me come up with fun recipes that both the kids and adults will love!

Enter these light but flavorful Sweet Potato Biscuits: They might look small, but they’re definitely packed with flavor. It’s a healthier spin on the typical biscuit recipe, but nobody would suspect that you’ve managed to slip an innocent little sweet potato into the batter!

Sweet potato in purée form is the secret that makes this recipe work. What’s even better about using sweet potatoes is that their flesh is naturally more colorful than that of regular potatoes. When baked, your biscuits will have an even more vibrant golden-brown tinge that’s sure to catch the attention and appetite of anyone who sees them!

Aside from being sweet but healthy, you can make extra batches of these Sweet Potato Biscuits that you can freeze for up to three months! So whenever you’ve got kids or adult guests coming over, all you need to do is fire up your oven and wait for these delicious biscuits to bake to perfection.

If you find yourself with an abundance of these Sweet Potato Biscuits, you can always share them at parties, bake-offs, or when you’re hosting a simple weekend breakfast. They can also work well as gifts when arranged in a nice little box. These Sweet Potato Biscuits are sure to be a hit with eaters of all ages!
