Sweet Potato Whole Wheat Biscuits with Cinnamon Maple Butter

Big biscuit Monday!

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Cinnamon Maple Butter | The Housewife in Training FilesSweet potatoes have been kinda in your face lately huh? Between these curly fries and this grilled chicken and bacon mac n cheese, guess you can say I have been on a sweet potato kick lately. No compliments here.

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Cinnamon Maple Butter | The Housewife in Training FilesSweet potatoes are a staple in our house and often a crime if we are without. My fiance seriously hoards sweet potato fries in our freezer. Kinda a sin now that I can make delicious homemade curly fries at home now. I will let him weed out the remains but after that he will be in trouble! Consider yourself warned. 

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Cinnamon Maple Butter | The Housewife in Training FilesAnother favorite around our house is breakfast.  We are creatures of habit and have a tendency to eat breakfast for dinner if neither of us feels like cooking…happens quite often after I spend most weekends in the kitchen testing and retesting blog recipes, whipping up lunches and making snacks for the week. I decided to change up the finances breakfast sammies, and through him a curveball of homemade biscuits! No ordinary, store bought biscuits. Homemade sweet potato biscuits. And no biscuit is complete without some butta. Maple cinnamon butta to be exact!

Sweet Potato Biscuits with Cinnamon Maple Butter | The Housewife in Training FilesThe maple cinnamon butter is the cream of the crop. The sweet and slightly savory combination has me swooning. Please don’t go out and buy flavored butter ever, EVA again. It is sadly, the simplest thing to do. Just whip a room temperature stick of butter with desired flavorings (herbs, spices, dried fruits, etc), then bam, flavored butter to be eaten off a spoon spread on whatever your little heart desires. Sweet, flaky and tender biscuits are the ideal lazy weekend brunch, paired with bacon, and a cup of coffee, you are prepared to tackle the world!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 Tbsp cold butter (the colder the better)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or skim milk)
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • Maple Cinnamon Butter:
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Sift flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a medium bowl.
  3. Cut the butter into the flour fixture using a pastry cutter or two knives. The mixture will look like coarse meal once butter is incorporated.
  4. Mix together the milk, sweet potatoes and maple syrup. Add to flour mixture and stir with fork until mixture just flour is fully incorporated.
  5. Lightly flour your work surface and turn dough onto. Kneed until dough is fairly smooth. Use gentle touches and try not to work the dough too much as it will create tough biscuits. Use more flour if dough is sticky.
  6. Pat the dough to about 3/4 inches. Cut with a floured, 2 inch biscuit cutter or a glass rim (pint glass size works great.)
  7. Place on lightly oiled cookie sheet. Bake 15 minutes, or until tender and golden brown on top.
  8. Maple Cinnamon Butter: In a stand mixer, or using a regular hand held mixture, combine butter, maple and cinnamon in medium bowl, whip until mixture becomes light and airy. Make take 5 minutes or so. Taste and season with salt if needed. Serve with biscuits.

    These look really good. I like the sweet potato and maple syrup in the biscuit itself. I bet it tastes amazing. I'm stopping by from the Enjoying Yummy Recipes FB page. I'm pinning this for later.

    These look delicious! We are really into sweet potatoes lately too, but I've never see them in a biscuit. What a neat idea. Definitely going to have to try these.

    I would of never thought of using sweet potatoes in a biscuit. That sounds like it would taste really good. The Maple Cinnamon butter sounds really good too. I think it would go perfect on some bagels or something like that!

    Those look so tasty, I bet they are super sweet in a good way. I also think they would be pretty fiberous, in a good way.

    I just made these on a rainy day here in CA and OMG they are sooo good! My son said they taste like cookies with the butter on them. Yummy. The dough was super soft and wet but I didn't want to overhandle or knead in too much flour since they would get tough so I just heaving floured top and bottom and patted out into a circle and cut into biscuits. I used a spatula to transfer to baking sheets. Once again, delicious.
