These sweet potato biscuits are 100% whole grain, super simple to make, and most importantly, absolutely delicious any way you eat them! They are amazing served simply with butter and honey, cinnamon butter (one of my favorites!), OR use them for breakfast sandwiches filled with eggs, cheese, meat if desired, etc. These sweet potato biscuits are so versatile; perfect for breakfast or as a side with dinner! I love how they can be made start to finish and on the table in 30 minutes!
