Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat or low-fat)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced into small cubes)
- 1 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps of butter are okay.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Do not over-mix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle in half, then pat it out again. Repeat this folding process 2-3 times to create layers for flakier biscuits.
Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently re-roll the scraps to cut out more biscuits if needed.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm with your favorite healthy toppings like almond butter, avocado slices, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
