Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.75 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.75 cup low-fat buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
Add the reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese to the flour mixture and toss to coat the cheese evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil and low-fat buttermilk.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well.
Gently stir together until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a round cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, re-forming the scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy the biscuits warm as they are or with a heart-healthy spread.
