    Sweet Potato Biscuits are a new favorite around our house! Served with a meal or soup, smeared with butter and lathered with honey - you have a treat!

    An overhead shot of Sweet Potato Biscuits on a blue plate and some on a trayDuring the winter, I love to serve meals of soup, salad and muffins. Some of our favorites are Pumpkin Muffins, Carrot Raisin Muffins, Sourdough Bread Bowls, and good ol' Whole Wheat Bread. But, we have a new favorite - Sweet Potato Biscuits!

    Shortly after Thanksgiving, a local store had a great sale on sweet potatoes. They were so cheap at $0.24/lb, I bought 3 cases!

    Before you ask, "yes", they are still good and "yes", we still like sweet potatoes. ;)

    As you might guess, I have stretched my creative wings with sweet potatoes - baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato souffle, sweet potato soup, sweet potato stuffing and now Sweet Potato Biscuits.

    I have to tell you, when I told John and the children what they were, they were very skeptical. Well, Sweet Potato Biscuits won them over and put an end to the comments!

    As if the biscuits weren't enough, when a pat of butter is added, Mmmm!

    And, to make it even better, add honey on top of the hot buttered Sweet Potato Biscuits and you also have dessert!

    If you don't have leftover mashed sweet potatoes: Pick a sweet potato weighing about 13 oz. (give or take) and in several places stick it with a fork. Microwave on high 6 - 8 minutes until very tender. Rotate as needed through the cooking. When cool enough to handle, scrape the sweet potato out of the skin, mash and measure 1 cup.

    Tips For Making Sweet Potato Biscuits

    • You can freeze these when cooled completey and store in an airtight container
    • You can make these sweet or savory, try adding herbs such as oregano or spices such as cinnamon

      Nothing I love more than sweet potato! I usually enjoy it baked and topped with marshmallows and loads of brown sugar! I saw this recipe and thought I would give it a whirl! I'm so glad i did, these were nothing but fantastic. I have a new favorite bread and a new way to eat sweet potatoes.

    Your gut health plays a central role in nutrient absorption, and affects all other systems in your body. The bacterial cultures in your intestines are an often overlooked and neglected part of the average diet.

    Known as the "second brain", your gut has more than 100 million neurons, and needs to be nourished.

    You'll find recipes here that focus on prebiotic ingredients, whole vegetables, and probiotics like kefir, sauerkraut and cheese.
