Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and mashed sweet potatoes until smooth. Ensure that the sweet potatoes are well incorporated into the oil.
- Add the almond milk to the sweet potato mixture and stir until combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, re-pat, and cut out additional biscuits until all dough is used.
- Once all biscuits are on the baking sheet, you can optionally brush the tops with a little extra melted coconut oil for a golden finish.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden on top and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a biscuit; it should come out clean.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious vegan sweet potato biscuits! They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite vegan butter or jam.
Tips
- Use Fresh Sweet Potatoes: For the best flavor, use freshly cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. You can steam or bake them until tender before mashing.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: To achieve light and fluffy biscuits, mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense biscuits.
- Chill the Coconut Oil: If your coconut oil is too warm, it can make the dough too sticky. Chill it slightly before mixing to maintain the right consistency.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for an extra flavor kick, or mix in some chopped nuts for added texture.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking; ovens can vary. They should be lightly golden on top and cooked through—use a toothpick to test!
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. Pair them with vegan butter, jam, or even as a side to your favorite soup!
