so, for some bizarre reason my 3 boys do not like sweet potatoes. we have tried giving them to them baked, mashed, fried like fries and chips mixed with other stuff. no go, they ran if you mentioned them. Weird right?!? At our local farmers market we buy these huge sweet potatoes One would easily feed the 6 of us. so really besides refrigerating the left over, which is a lot, what do I do with all this sweet potatoe. so, today I decided that there must be a sweet potato muffin or bread I can make. So surfing I went. I found several pages that all had muffins and bread loaded with tons of sugar, not at all what I was looking for. then, I foundit. the answer to my get the kids to eat sweet potatoes with out loading it with sugar prayers. Sweet potato biscuits. the original recipe is at the
Ontario sweet potato Web site. I, Of course, can't resist changing things up a bit, so here is my version...
Ok... and again with the no Photos.. so sorry. will post them when iPhoto loves me again.
Sweet Potato Biscuits
1 C all-purpose flour
1/2C Whole wheat flour
1 T baking powder
½ t. salt
3 T. coconut oil
1 C cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (i didn't peel mine, but do what works for you)
¼ t. ground cinnamon
1/8 t. ground nutmeg
¼ C Almond milk
- In a lg mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. drizzle the room temp oil into the dry mix. using the back of a fork mix into flour mixture until it's crumbly looking. you could use a pastry knife as well. this worked just fine though.
- add in sweet potatoes and spices. blend well.
- Add milk all at once and stir with fork until mixture comes together. ** note I found this a very wet mixture**
- Roll out on generously floured surface to ½ inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter or the open end of a drinking glass, which is my usual method. Arrange on ungreased baking sheet
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes or until golden and puffed up place on cooling rack. theses little suckers are HOT!!
So the kids went crazy for these. they even helped make them J.T. was in charge of the biscuit cutting! so, I will be making these again in the future! I don't mind them eating lots if the nutrition value is there! I think the only thing I would change is next time put the potato's through the ricer so they mix easier.
