Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk and low-fat mayonnaise until smooth and combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown on the edges.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, then stir in finely chopped fresh parsley.
Once the biscuits are out of the oven, brush them with the melted butter and parsley mixture for a burst of fresh flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat Cheddar Bay Biscuits with any meal.
