Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the unsweetened applesauce to the dry ingredients and use a fork to gently mix until crumbly.
Gradually pour in the almond milk (or skim milk), folding the dough together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the biscuits dense.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Gather any leftover dough, gently reshape it, and continue cutting biscuits until all the dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite low-calorie toppings or on their own!
