Sweet Potato Raisin AIP Scones | Cook It Up Paleo


Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that you either love or hate.  I love them because they taste so sweet to me that I feel like I’m eating a treat and I can say I’m eating a vegetable; what? Win-win if you ask me.

My dad, on the other hand, thinks that sweet potatoes taste like squash, which is silly because sweet potatoes are a root veggie and squashes are a fruit (I think? Maybe?) so therefore they are completely unrelated.  (On another unrelated note, my dad did once dip potato chips in my Butternut Squash Soup and loved it.)

But if you’re like me and love sweet potatoes, you’ll love these yummy scones! They have a whole cup of sweet potatoes in them, plus coconut, which is the perfect food, and raisins, which are not necessarily the perfect food but are still totally delicious in this recipe.

These scones would be an awesome way to use up leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving!

  1. I have been on a detox elimination diet for 6 weeks and these saved my life for morning food. I didn’t even use the banana and they were plenty sweet for me. I did add a bit more unsweetened coconut however for substance. I also used raisins sparingly during the detox. I am finally introductions food again and still love this recipe and look forward to them in the morning. I add a bit more cinnamon too.

  2. I just made these after Sarah Mary’s recommendation… But I subbed pumpkin for sweet potato, they were really good! I’ll tweet it again now though cause I’m on a restricted sugar intake! Thank you so much for a reliable recipe.

  5. Yum! I plan on making these today! I’ll give them a shot with plantains instead of bananas (if the store has restocked them) and let you know how they turn out!!

  6. Just made these for Sunday brunch and was floored by how delicious they are! I subbed blueberries for raisins and my preschooler is already begging for more :). Well done, Heather – so yummy!

  7. I made this recipe last night and followed it completely. I had them in the oven for 30min and they were raw in the middle when I took them out 🙁 I decided to keep them and tried on the next day and they were really yummy. I wasn’t nervous to eat it since there is no egg int the recipe. I liked the flavour and the raisins and coconut in them. Kinda wondering if I should play with the recipe next time so they can cake up a bit more.

  9. That is one delicious ingredient list! Definitely going to have to give these a try. 😉 Thanks for sharing them at Savoring Saturdays!

  10. I need to make these right now! I’ve made sweet potato scone so many times never thought to throw raisins and they’re brilliant idea .

  11. I am allergic to bananas. In your sweet Potato scones, what would u suggest as a replacement? Applesauce may be?
