Pork Free Paleo Sweet Potato Biscuits

Fluffy, golden-edged biscuits made with sweet potato, almond flour, and a touch of maple syrup — these are the kind of grain-free baked goods that make you forget you're eating anything "alternative." The mashed sweet potato keeps every bite tender and moist, while tapioca starch gives the dough just enough structure to cut into proper rounds. Coconut oil stands in for butter beautifully here, and since every ingredient in the lineup is naturally free of pork and pork-derived additives, there's no label-scanning required. That matters more than people realize with biscuits, where lard and bacon fat can sneak into traditional recipes without much fanfare. The method is straightforward — mix, pat, cut, bake — and the payoff is a batch of about eight biscuits with lightly crisp edges and a soft, pillowy center. They firm up just enough as they cool to hold together for splitting and topping, whether you go savory or lean into that subtle sweetness with a drizzle of extra maple syrup.
