Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1 cup of mashed sweet potato, and 1/2 cup of almond milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but hold together.
- Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into biscuits, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Once all the biscuits are shaped and placed on the baking sheet, you can brush the tops lightly with a bit of olive oil if desired for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the biscuits warm as a delicious side dish or enjoy them on their own. They pair wonderfully with vegan butter or your favorite spread!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh sage and ripe sweet potatoes. Fresh herbs can elevate the taste of your biscuits significantly.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense biscuits, so keep it gentle!
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices. Thyme or rosemary can be great substitutes for sage if you’re looking for a different flavor profile.
- Perfect Biscuit Size: Aim for uniform biscuit sizes for even baking. Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape them consistently.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your biscuits during the last few minutes of baking. They should be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean.
- Serve Warm: These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. Consider serving them with a spread of vegan butter or your favorite jam for an extra treat!
