Sweet Potato Breakfast Biscuits.
This is a gross overstatement of what my weekend really looked like.
I mean, one would assume that my weekend was TOTALLY AWESOME if I ate a sweet potato biscuit topped with a poached egg topped with bacon topped with cheddar and maybe I’m a little crazy but… also topped with a drizzle of maple cream.
Right right?
But no. We ate these last week, way before the weekend even started. Not fair at all. Don’t set yourself up for those sorts of expectations.
What this weekend was really like? Well, it consisted of me dripping a drop of fake truffle oil on boxed macaroni and cheese, and eating it with a MUG third-way full of cold pinot grigio. So, uh… I don’t know. You tell me. That barely compares to a sweet potato breakfast biscuit.
Buuut… it was a little boring in a good way. However, I’m still embarrassed that I just told you what I ate for dinner one night, gourmet box and all. Oh, it had panko on top too! That made it better.
Even though my expectations were sky high after eating such delicious breakfast biscuits – and let me tell you, they were SO delicious that trying to find a synonym for delicious isn’t even worth it, and they were so delicious that I accidentally left them sit out on a baking sheet all night long (because I: 1. fell asleep, b. was lazy or 3. forgot) and my husband still ate three of them 36 hours later for dinner – just the memory of them alone was enough to get me through my boxed-dinner because I am totally making them again to go along with our meal tonight. And I’m doing that because I’m 1. obsessive, b. out of ideas, or 3. sure that they are 100% one of the OMGbestthingsI’veevermade.
I’m going with d: all of the above.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Biscuits
Ingredients
- 3.5 ounces cooked + well-mashed sweet potato
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup milk, whole or 2% works best
- for breakfast biscuits: add poached eggs bacon, cheese and your jam or spread of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and soda, and whisk until combined. Using a fork, pastry blender or your hands, add butter pieces to the flour and mix until coarse little crumbles remain. Pour in milk and add sweet potato, stirring with a spoon until thoroughly combined, but not overmixing. Use your hands if needed to bring the dough together – I did.
- Use a 1/4 cup measure to drop batter onto a nonstick baking sheet, or press dough on a sheet of parchment paper or cutting board, then use a biscuit cutter to shape the dough into rounds. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until biscuits are slightly golden and puffy. While biscuits are baking, prepare your breakfast sandwich ingredients. Eat!

I don’t really cook. Or bake. Or whatever. But I read your blog because you’re hilarious and I like the pretty pictures! Thanks for the laughs!
Thank you Robyn!
Umm.. glad to know I’m not the only one who’s been drinking cold white wine out of a mug lately. This lil sandwich looks SO. GOOD.
There’s nothing wrong with boxed mac and cheese. I still eat the character stuff :). I’m going to make these biscuits soon…maybe I’ll have breakfast for dinner one night this week!
Oh my gosh, I just made Eggs Benedict for the first time the other day, and my 6-year-old son spit it out, turned to my husband and said, “This tastes beastly.”
So… I’ve given up on the eggs benedict thing for now. Hardly worth the trouble of making it!
These look absolutely heavenly! Must try. Breakfast and brunch are two of my most favorite things! These MUST be made for my next brunch get-together! Thank you for sharing!
Sweet potatoes are my favorites. Carb on carb here. Love every little bit of it!
I made these for my boyfriend today and he loved them! We added a little bit extra sweet potato out of laziness. Since I already made dinner (quinoa and turkey stuffed peppers), we had these for dessert. I just sprayed them with olive oil before I baked them and put butter, honey, and cinnamon on them when they were warm! I also think I added a little more sugar but again with the laziness and not wanting to measure.. But these were amazing. Thank you for the recipe!
So glad you guys liked them!
Funny…I too had boxed mac and cheese with a splash of truffle oil to “fancy” it up for lunch on Sunday. Awesome weekend :-) This looks awesome! Sweet & potatoes and biscuits is a combo I never thought of.
Panko AND sriracha on macaroni and cheese. We discovered this just a couple of days ago.
And those sweet potato biscuits look so freaking amazing. Totally swooning.
i told myself I couldnt come by your blog this week or next..obviously this was not true because I have to get my fix of food porn 10 days out from show…UGH so freakin delicious!!
This looks amazing and something the whole family would love. Can’t wait to give it a try. So glad to be in your blog and to meet great foodie bloggers like you! :-)
Lots of yummy love :-)
I made these yesterday afternoon (I vegan-ized them by using cold coconut oil and almond milk which works wonderfully) with the intention of bringing some in for friends and next thing I knew…they were all gone! They were quite a hit and I’m making another batch this morning!
did you use equal parts when you substituted?
Seriously mad at you right now. I just threw out some leftover baked sweet potato on Sunday. Definitely would have had enough to make these bisquits if only you had posted this a day earlier!!!
I wonder what they would taste like if you substituted pumpkin for the sweet potato- I can’t wait for Fall foods!!!
Hi, what does 3.5 ounces of sweet potato measure out to when you are using measuring cups, approximately? I do not have a scale but would love to make these biscuits…
I think you can use your measuring cup for liquids,it would have ounces on there.
Ironically- I just had a weekend holiday at a mountain home, where we all had wine out of coffee mugs. Somehow, it adds to the holiday mood. :) I don’t like poached eggs, especially the yolk- but the photographs make me want to have some!
McDonald’s is DONE!
These look AMAZING! I can’t wait to make them!
Amazing!!! I can’t wait to try this!
Late note required this morning for my 7 yr old as I could not tear my eyes away from the screen on a chilly Sydney winter’s day.
This is a biscuit worth making!
I love your sense of humor, you are my current food crush…

Made these for breakfast this morning. They were a major hit! Excellent! Thanks for sharing.
The introduction of the baking of processed cereals including the creation of flour provided a more reliable source of food. Egyptian sailors carried a flat, brittle loaf of millet bread called dhourra cake, while the Romans had a biscuit called buccellum.’
