Diabetic Recipe for Sweet Potato Biscuits
Ingredients:
butter-flavored cooking spray or baking parchment paper
2 1/2 cups (312.5 g) sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (24 g) spoonable brown sugar substitute
2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
1/2 teaspoon (4 g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (59 ml) canola oil
3/4 cup (177 ml) + 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cultured nonfat buttermilk
3/4 cup (180 g) mashed cooked sweet potato
(makes 18 biscuits)
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt, and sugar.
3. In a large measuring cup, combine oil, buttermilk, and mashed sweet potato. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. (The dough will be quite dry).
4. Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Knead a few times and pat to 1 inch (2.5 cm) thickness rectangle about 8 inches X 5 inches (20 cm X 12.5 cm). Dip a sharp knife in flour, then cut the dough into thirds lengthwise. Then cut each long strip into 6 equal pieces, making 18 squares in all. Transfer biscuits to prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake about 12 to 13 minutes, until tops are golden and firm to the touch. Serve warm.

I'll try this recipe next week for my kids…looks really delicious, they'll love this one for sure!
Thanks for this great recipe, my granny has a diabetic, but she don't want to keep her diet, she said, that it is tasteless. And now I am going to show her this recipe, I think she will like it.
So.. to everyone who says they're gonna try it.. How does it taste like?
Does it taste deliciously as they look on pictures?
looks delicious. I bet it tastes a bit salty but it still sweet (ok it can be the answer for Ayen from taux hypothécaires). my question is Why is it tagged in diabetic recipes while it has sugar in it? and the name it self is called Sweet Potato Biscuit
Dani is right about it being difficult to get genuinely nice recipes for diabetics. I will certainly be giving this one a try.
@Tfirdaus@indonesian food:
It only has a minimal amount of sugar in it and calls for a brown sugar substitute. You really have to look at the exchanges to see if it fits into a recipe suitable for diabetics, which I believe this one does.
And sewwt potatoes are ofter used in diabetic recipes- that's the beauty of them, they're "good" sweet, not "bad" sweet.
I've just found your excellent blog. You have some really useful articles in here – so I shall be back for another read when I get back from work. Keep it coming…
