Soft Vegan Sweet Potato Dinner Biscuits
These simple Soft Vegan Sweet Potato Dinner Biscuits are so moist and flaky, they practically melt in your mouth. Fantastic to serve with fall meals, especially as an accompaniment to chili or other stews, these are also a welcome addition to your vegan Thanksgiving menu. Recipe contributed by Cathe Olson from The Vegetarian Mother’s Cookbook.*
- 1½ cups spelt flour (or whole wheat)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 4 tbsp cold vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (from about 1 medium)
- ¼ cup nondairy milk
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and sea salt together. Cut in margarine or coconut oil until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Mix in sweet potato and milk until combined.
- Scoop out ¼-cup mounds of dough (an oiled ice cream scoop works well) and flatten to biscuit shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until bottoms are golden. Transfer to a fabric-lined platter or basket and serve warm.
