Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato, mashed
  • 1/2 cup Cooked Carrots, mashed
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/4 cup Oat Flour (or finely ground oats)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Water (if needed)

Equipment

  • - Parchment Paper
  • - Baking Sheet
  • Medium Bowl
  • Wire rack
  • Cookie cutters or knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the cooked sweet potato and cooked carrots until smooth. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and the egg until well combined.
    1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato, mashed, 1/2 cup Cooked Carrots, mashed, 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 large Egg
  3. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oat flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it’s manageable.
    1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour, 1/4 cup Oat Flour (or finely ground oats), 1-2 tablespoons Water (if needed)
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes.
  5. Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. For longer storage, freeze portions of the biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months. If desired, you can gently warm a biscuit for a few seconds in the microwave or oven. Be sure to let it cool completely before serving to avoid burns. Thaw frozen biscuits by leaving them at room temperature for a few hours or by gently warming them.
