Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Place them in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir and let macerate while preparing the biscuits.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined to form a soft dough.
Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 6 equal mounds, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, honey, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth and creamy.
To assemble, slice each biscuit in half horizontally. Spoon the macerated strawberries and their juice over the bottom half. Add a dollop of the yogurt mixture, then place the biscuit top back on.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat High Taste Strawberry Shortcake!
