Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add grated sweet potato and onion; cook for 6-8 minutes until translucent.
Clear the center of the pan and add ground pork.
Cook pork for 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and add the pork mixture.
Add almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder; mix until combined.
Shape mixture into 12 biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-14 minutes until slightly browned.

Notes

For substitutions, turkey or chicken may replace pork, and honey can substitute maple syrup. Use oat flour for almond or coconut flour if nut-free is needed. Prepare biscuits ahead and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months; reheat before serving. If biscuits are dry, add a splash of milk to the mix. If dense, ensure baking powder is fresh and measure flour carefully.
