Sweet Potato Biscuits (Vegan, No Oil)

I was very skeptical trying out this recipe for Whole Wheat Vegan Sweet Potato Biscuits from the Happy Herbivore.  They turned out amazing!  My entire family gobbled them up.  Will try the next batch without the teaspoon of sugar to see if we notice a difference.  The Whole Foods Plant-Based lifestyle is about eating plants that are minimally processed so these don't exactly fit within that framework.  However, these are so much healthier than any biscuit I've seen so they are served at our house.  They go nicely with a chili soup.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon raw sugar
dash of cinnamon
1 whole banana, cold
3/4 cup of sweet potato, mashed

Directions
Cook, skin and mash sweet potato, set aside.  Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Preheat oven to 425º. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and cinnamon together in food processor. Pulse a few times to get even distribution.  Add banana and run processor for 45 seconds or until dough forms.  In separate bowl, mix in with sweet potato.  Using a spoon or cookie dough scoop, put drops on sheet.  Bake 5-10 minutes until toothpick comes out clean and golden brown exterior.
