These simple vegan sweet potato biscuits are so moist and flaky, they practically melt in your mouth.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
