Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup, shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the olive oil and buttermilk to the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the dough just comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from skillet, drain on a paper towel, and chop into small pieces.
Sprinkle the chopped turkey bacon, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, and garlic powder evenly over the dough rectangle.
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, similar to a jelly roll. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the roll into 8 equal slices and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy bacon and cheese rolls warm!
