Sweet Potato Quick Biscuits {Freezer Meal}

As you might know, I love finding ways to sneak more vegetables into food for my kids.  One of our favorite and fast side dishes is Sweet Potato Quick Biscuits. The sweet potato adds moisture and a hint of sweetness, and the whole grain mix makes them more nutritious than your average biscuit.  Even my husband–who was raised on amazing buttery homemade biscuits–likes these. Check this out. Your biscuit dough will look orange because it’s full of Vitamin A and C-rich sweet potato. Then, you’ll simply drop biscuits by the spoonful onto a cookie sheet. I doubled the recipe for my fam, because the people will eat these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Last night we had them for dinner with Homemade Chicken Nuggets and some steamed broccoli. Success for all ages, I cry! One ingredient you’ll need to have on hand is a good whole grain baking mix. I found mine in the bulk food section of our natural grocer, but I’ve also bought it at Trader Joes in a box before, too. This shortcut is what makes the recipe so quick and easy! You’ll also need some buttermilk, which isn’t something I normally have in the fridge. Instead, I’ve found that dry buttermilk mix (something like this) is handy to keep in the pantry, since the fresh stuff often goes to waste. The dry mix works very well!
