Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.75 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
- 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
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 flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir in the shredded cheddar, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, combine the almond milk and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the biscuits dense.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 8 equal-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in an additional pinch of garlic powder (optional) and fresh parsley, if desired.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush the tops with the melted butter mixture for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
