Japanese sweet potato works particularly well, but any variety of sweet potato can be used. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheddar Cheese<\/strong>: Cheddar adds a delicious savoury flavour that balances the sweetness of the sweet potato. Mature cheddar will give the strongest flavour, but any cheddar will work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>: Melted butter adds richness and helps create a tender texture in the finished scones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking Powder<\/strong>: Helps the scones rise slightly and keeps them light rather than dense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong>: The egg helps bind the mixture together and provides structure as the scones bake.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coconut Flour<\/strong>: Coconut flour helps absorb moisture from the sweet potato mash and contributes to the texture of the scones. A little goes a long way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cornstarch, Tapioca or Arrowroot Powder<\/strong>: These help bind the mixture and create a lighter texture. Any of the three options work well, so use whichever you have available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Black Pepper<\/strong>: Adds a gentle warmth and savoury flavour that complements both the sweet potato and cheddar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive Oil Spray<\/strong>: Used to lightly grease the baking tray and help prevent sticking while keeping the recipe lighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2.jpg\" alt=\"two sweet potato cheddar scones on wooden board fresh out of oven\" class=\"wp-image-47908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-560x747.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sweeet-potato-scones-2-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of ways to adapt these Sweet Potato Cheddar Scones depending on what you have on hand, whether you want to change the cheese, add extra flavour or vary the texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Potato<\/strong> <strong>Swap<\/strong>: You can also use regular potatoes mash (plain) for a slightly different flavour and texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheese Swap<\/strong>: Cheddar adds a lovely savoury flavour, but Red Leicester, Gruy\u00e8re, Parmesan, Monterey Jack or a combination of cheeses can also be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Extra Flavour<\/strong>: A little garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika or chilli flakes can be added to give the scones extra flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Fresh chives, parsley, thyme or rosemary are all delicious additions and pair beautifully with the sweet potato and cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flour Options<\/strong>: Cornstarch, tapioca flour and arrowroot powder are all interchangeable in this recipe. Use whichever you have available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Them Cheesier<\/strong>: Add a little extra cheddar on top before baking for a golden cheesy crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Vegetables<\/strong>: Finely chopped spring onions, saut\u00e9ed onions or grated zucchini\/courgette can be mixed into the batter for extra flavour and texture. Add some chopped up sweet pickled jalapenos for heat. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasoning<\/strong>: Black pepper works perfectly with the sweet potato and cheddar, but you can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or mustard powder for a little extra kick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These Sweet Potato Cheddar Scones are delicious served warm straight from the oven and make a great addition to breakfast, lunch or dinner. Delicious just as they are or with a little butter spread over the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They pair perfectly with soups, stews and casseroles, making them a great alternative to bread rolls. I especially love serving them alongside a bowl of soup for a comforting lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also delicious with eggs for breakfast or brunch, whether that is a fried egg, poached egg or omelette. For dinner, try serving them alongside grilled chicken, pork chops, steak or a hearty chilli.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-tip-2\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee2332cf wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-feast-branding-color-primary-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9c325150 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">Storing, Freezing and Reheating<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-041f66d3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Storing<\/strong>: Allow the scones to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Freezing<\/strong>: These scones freeze really well, making them perfect for meal prep. Once cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature before reheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reheating<\/strong>: Reheat in the microwave for a quick option, or warm in the oven or air fryer until heated through. The air fryer is especially good if you want to refresh the outside and bring back a little texture.
