How to Make Sunset Drop Biscuits Vegan

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of water, or enough to bring the dough together. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons (golf ball-sized) of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit.
  7. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  8. Serve warm with your favorite vegan butter or jam.
