These sweet potato biscuits are packed with Vitamins A and C. Try these healthy, flavorful biscuits as part of your next 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. These sweet potato biscuits are packed with Vitamins A and C. Try these healthy, flavorful biscuits as part of your next meal. 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. These sweet potato biscuits are packed with Vitamins A and C. Try these healthy, flavorful biscuits as part of your next meal. Last night we had them for dinner with Homemade Chicken Nuggets and some steamed broccoli. Success for all ages, I cry! These sweet potato biscuits are packed with Vitamins A and C. Try these healthy, flavorful biscuits as part of your next meal. 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! These sweet potato biscuits are packed with Vitamins A and C. Try these healthy, flavorful biscuits as part of your next meal.

    These are delicious! My 18-month-old loved them! I didn’t have baking mix so I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt to 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour. I also don’t eat dairy, so I substituted almond milk for the buttermilk and used 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 tablespoon non-dairy spread (Earth Balance) instead of the butter. They turned out great!

      I have not, but I would guess that you can freeze them in a ziplock bag after you baked and cooled them. I do this with muffins all the time and it works great. You can wrap them in a moist paper towel and warm for about 30 seconds in the microwave, or just let them thaw on the counter.

    Is yours a drop biscuit recipe? That's what this one is. If so, I bet you could add sweet potato. I add in veggies like this to my pancakes all the time. As long as I don't go overboard, it doesn't seem to affect the texture much. Thanks for visiting my blog!

    Hmmm… This is very similar to my regular biscuit recipe (just SR flour, crisco, buttermilk), I wonder if I could just add a sweet potato without changing to biscuit mix?
