Sweet potato biscuits with honey on a plate

Craving a warm batch of biscuits? Try this healthier version made with sweet potato puree for a naturally moist and tantalizing delight!

Biscuits are tasty, but they’re usually made entirely with wheat, sugar, salt, and dairy products like milk and butter. To make them healthier, we used a combination of almond flour and sweet potato puree to build a nutrient-dense replacement that works great as a side dish at any meal.

Be sure to use superfine almond flour for this recipe. You can also take regular almond flour and pulse it in a food processor if you can’t find any. Fine almond flour will help achieve a nice tender biscuit that isn’t grainy.

To make them, start by mixing the almond flour with arrowroot starch, which helps thicken the batter, and a bit of sea salt for flavor. Next, add the wet ingredients of sweet potato puree, coconut oil, and raw honey. You can use sweet potato puree from a can, or if you’re up for it, you can roast sweet potatoes yourself, mash them finely, and add to the batter. Add the egg and baking powder last.

Next, scoop the batter onto a baking sheet and form into biscuits. Bake for about 10 minutes, then serve with coconut oil and a drizzle of honey for a real Southern-style treat!
