Paleo Bacon and Chive Biscuits

These biscuits are a client favorite – light, fluffy, smoky, sweet and savory all rolled into one. They are paleo and Whole30 compliant (free of grains, dairy, gluten, sugar and legumes) and are a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein to keep you full and energized any time of the day. They freeze and reheat well so they are great snack to take on the go.

Serving size: 8 biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 medium or 1 large sweet potato (about 2 cups when cooked)

• 3 large organic free-range eggs

• 1/2 C almond flour

• 4 tbsp coconut flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 5 pieces of nitrate-free no sugar added bacon – cooked crisp with the bacon fat set aside

Instructions

1. Prick potatoes with a fork and either bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour at 400° or in the microwave for approximately 15 minutes on high

2. While potato is cooking fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces. Pour bacon fat into a small bowl and set aside (I prefer to bake on a cookie sheet at 375° , turning once, until crispy)

3. Let potato cool and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl and mash

4. In a large bowl add coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

5. In a small bowl beat eggs and add to flour mixture – stir to combine

6. Add bacon fat, bacon, potato and chives to the flour and egg mixture and stir to combine

7. Scoop batter onto a greased cookie sheet in 8 portions

8. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked through

9. Enjoy!
