Sweet Potato Biscuits

These sweet potato biscuits are super simple to make, slightly sweet, and a hit with my toddler!

Biscuits have been a go-to lately for a quick snack that only takes a handful of ingredients! You could sweeten these up if you wanted to with a little honey or maple syrup, but my son liked them just fine as is! Would also be delicious served with a little bit of butter.

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has dairy and wheat. DF butter and milk should sub in just fine!

STORAGE

I stored these on the counter for 4 days in an air-tight container, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To serve I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Parchment paper – I buy precut online because I find dealing with a roll of parchment to be the most annoying thing and it’s just so much easier to have it cut for you! Comes in a variety of sizes.

Cookie scoop – I love using this to scoop meatballs, pancake batter, and tons more. I use this thing ALL the time when cooking for my son (and just in general)
