Sweet Potato Biscuits

• 1 1/2 cup whole white wheat flour
• 1/2 cup oat bran
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 4 Tbsp. light butter (50/50 Smart Balance for baking)
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes (can use baby food sweet potatoes for a quicker mix)
• 1 Tbsp. sugar

Directions :

1. Preheat oven to 450. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oat bran, baking powder and salt.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Mix with hands until mixture is crumbly.
