Sweet Potato Biscuits

These wholesome sweet potato biscuits offer a nutritious twist on a classic savoury bake. By incorporating mashed sweet potato, the dough gains a natural sweetness and a beautifully soft, moist texture that pairs perfectly with the warmth of ground allspice. Using whole-wheat mix adds a pleasant nuttiness and extra fibre, making these a satisfying choice for those seeking a healthier homemade snack.

This versatile vegetarian recipe is ideal for a quick weekend brunch or as a comforting accompaniment to a bowl of seasonal soup. Because they rely on simple techniques like rubbing in butter and a quick microwave preparation for the potato, they are easy enough for novice bakers to master. Enjoy them warm from the oven or store them for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast during the week.

Ingredients for Sweet Potato Biscuits

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 140g )

  • 300ml whole-wheat biscuit mix

  • 2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cubed

  • 120ml lowfat buttermilk

  • 1/4 teaspoons ground allspice

Wrap sweet potato in a paper towel. Microwave on high until soft, 4 minutes. Scoop flesh into a bowl and mash; set aside. Heat oven to 204°C. Place biscuit mix and butter in a bowl; rub butter into mix with fingertips until large pea-sized crumbs form. Add sweet potato, buttermilk and allspice; mix until just combined. Transfer dough onto a biscuit sheet and form into a 12" x 4" rectangle. Cut into 8 rectangles with a serrated knife and separate slightly. Bake until biscuits are firm to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
