Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.75 cups Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and milk, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Add the raisins and vanilla extract to the dough, folding them in evenly.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a floured biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds of dough.
Place the biscuit rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm with butter or enjoy on their own with a steaming cup of tea!
