If I were you, I’d put cheese in these. Not that these don’t taste delicious without cheese, but cheese is delicious. Especially the cheddar kind. When I’m feeling real frisky, I’ll get my favorite kind of cheese from Whole Foods: seaside cheddar. I could live off of that stuff. Seriously. I eat it until my taste buds hurt. That’s not healthy, but I don’t care, it tastes that good.
I wish these tasted like cresent rolls. Those things are stupid. Just stupid delicious.
Speaking of things hurting, my face hurts. No, not because of acne, I’m used to that by now. But because I’m scowling ALL.THE.TIME. My manuscript for my cookbook was due yesterday and I haven’t stopped typing or staring at a computer screen for days. I’m going to have to get botox between my eyebrows. Damnit. Hope the wrinkles are worth it.
So I have some exciting announcements! First, guess what I get to be part of this year?! The second annual PaleoFX Symposium in Austin, TX, March 28-30,2013. There’s going to be some incredibly influential people there including Sarah Fragoso, Kelly Starrett, Mat Lalonde, and Diane Sanfilippo.
The symposium will focus on not only nutrition, but strength, conditioning, and natural movement. Pretty cool huh? So if you want to see me speak and cook go buy a ticket right now! Or check out their facebook page to find out more about it! Why wouldn’t you want to go to Austin?? I’ve never been and I can’t hardly wait! They say Austin is like the Boulder of CO. I don’t really love Boulder, but I see where people are going with this. And I dig it.
Now for the second! This Saturday from 2-4pm, I’ll be doing a presentation and cooking demo for CrossFit Thin Air at Brickhouse40 . I’ll be chatting all about healthy holiday eating and cooking up some Thanksgiving recipes for any one who comes to join. That means if YOU want to join, YOU CAN! How exciting is that?! And it’s only $10!! So if you’re anywhere near Granby, you should come. I’ll be loud and obnoxious as usual. Sign up here!
That is a very link infested blog post. My b.
Thanksgiving Side Dish: Bacon and Chive Sweet Potato Biscuits
- Yield: 12 1x
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato or yam (equivalent to 2 cups mashed)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 6–8 strips of bacon, diced
- leftover rendered fat from bacon
- 3–4 tablespoons chives, thinly diced
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees.
- Pork holes in your sweet potato with a fork.
- Place in oven and bake for 30-40 or until soft.
- Once the sweet potato is done baking, turn oven down to 375 degrees.
- When you sweet potato is almost done cooking, place your diced bacon into a skillet and brown until crispy. Then place your cooked, crispy bacon on a plate covered with a paper towel to soak up the excess fat. The fat that is left behind in the pan, you will use in your biscuits.
- When your sweet potato is done, peel and place in a bowl and mash with a fork.
- Then add in your eggs and mix well with your sweet potato. Then add your in your bacon fat and mix well.
- Then your dry ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
- Finally add your diced cooked bacon and chives. Mix thoroughly
- Now line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a large spoon to drop your biscuits on the sheet, shaping them as needed. Try to make them all equal in size so they cook the same.
- Place in oven and bake for 22-27 minutes.
- Let rest.
- Top with some melted grass fed butter. You don’t have to, since it’s not paleo, but I did it, and it was delicious. Trust me.
Notes
If you don’t use bacon/bacon fat, add 1/4 cup of coconut oil, melted.
Made these for my Thanksgiving meal and WOW sooooo good!! First time without the traditional white dinner roll and they weren’t missed a bit! Thank you for providing awesome new receipes to try for those of us still struggling to eat healthy on a consistant basis.
made these yesterday and they are STUPID DELICIOUS, so tasty! They remind me slightly of those amazing biscuits that Red Lobster serves that are hard to avoid. So easy to make too! I added diced jalapeño since my husband loves spicy. Will be making these again soon! Thanks for all your wonderful recipes, can’t wait til your cookbook comes out! Just bought the Caveman feast book
These are AMAZING!!!!! They almost didn’t make it to the dinner table the first time because I kept stealing tastes! I just bought more sweet potatoes and chives so I can make more this weekend! DELISH!!!!! LOVE and appreciate your work and recipes! THANKS!
Hi!
New follower here!! I just made these tonight! I substituted 1 cup slivered almonds (made into flour ala Vitamix) because I didn’t have coconut flour. They turned out AMAZING!
Thank you so much!!
I will be making these for my company potluck this Friday. I plan to make 4 batches, which is a lot of work for a novice cook with no assistant. Any advice for keeping these biscuits from drying out since I’ll be making them the night before? Should I keep them in the fridge or not?
BTW, the prototype batch was successful 🙂 My ‘guinea pig’ liked it. Too bad she couldn’t taste the ones with bacon since she’s vegetarian!
I made these for thanksgiving and served them as an appetizer. Everyone loved them, thanks for the great and creative recipe!
Holy biscuits batman!!! Okay, so I have this friend that brings these delicious looking bacon-chedder scones to class and everyday I drool over them. Of course, they are poisonous and so I would never take a bite but now that I have these babies in my life I will never be tempted to eat one again. So freaking good!
These are AMAZING. Just had them for Christmas brunch, with butter. Nom Nom Nom. I added cheese! 🙂 Definitely something I’ll be making again and again.
I made these for Christmas Day dinner at my parent’s house who are not Paleo and they LOVED them! xo
Just made these, and the flavor was wonderful!
Mine turned out a little too moist, it might be partly because I made them a little big (11 instead of 12) and only cooked them for 25 mins… but the bottoms were turning too brown so I took them out. After they cooled I ended up putting them back in a 300 degree oven for about 10 mins more and they turned out great. Next time I will add another tbsp of coconut flour, make them a little smaller, and try 350 for 25 mins. Thanks for the recipe!
