Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (roasted or steamed)
  • 1/3 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and cook sweet potatoes by roasting or steaming until very soft. Mash them smoothly to avoid lumps, which helps create a tender biscuit texture.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, salt, and brown sugar (natural). Whisk well to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes with plant-based milk and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy. Fold in smoked turkey bacon pieces if using.
  4. Form the biscuit dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
  5. Shape and bake: Lightly flour a surface and gently pat the dough to about one-inch thickness. Cut into rounds or shapes with a biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden and puffed.

Notes

  • Use warm mashed sweet potatoes for better blending and tender biscuits.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
  • If possible, chill the dough for 15 minutes before shaping to improve texture and handling.
  • Pat the dough gently to preserve air pockets essential for biscuit flakiness.
  • Brush warm biscuits with plant-based butter (plant-based) after baking to lock in moisture and richness.
