Add banana, about 6" worth, and allow the motor to run until a dough forms, about 45 seconds.

Ingredients you will need

Banana

Dough

Transfer dough to a bowl and, using clean hands, mix with about 3/4 cup (start with 1/2 cup) of the cooked sweet potato. The dough should be wet and dough-like -- wetter than most pizza dough but dryer than cake batter. It should be similar to the batter for Bisquick drop biscuits, if you've ever made those. Drop large spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet and bake 5-10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the edges and bottom are turning golden brown.Per biscuit: 86 calories, 0.3g fat, 18.6g carbs, 2.5g fiber, 2.9g sugar, 2g protein
