Indulge in guilt-free comfort with these "WW Biscuits for Watching Your Weight," a light yet satisfying take on classic biscuits. Made with a wholesome blend of all-purpose or whole wheat flour, creamy non-fat Greek yogurt, and a touch of honey for sweetness, these biscuits are low in calories but high in flavor. The recipe uses cold, diced butter worked into the dough for a flaky texture, while unsweetened almond milk keeps them moist without adding unnecessary fat. In just 30 minutes, you’ll have golden, tender biscuits perfect for pairing with your favorite low-calorie jam or a drizzle of honey. Whether you're meal-prepping for the week or looking for a healthier breakfast option, these biscuits are a must-try for anyone tracking their weight while craving a homemade treat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine and aerate the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, diced butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to gently mix the dough until it just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and gently knead it 4-5 times to bring it together. Using your hands, pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling the dough scraps as needed. You should end up with about 8 biscuits.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving. These can be enjoyed with a light spread of jam or a drizzle of honey.
