Why These Biscuits Are a Healthier Choice
These biscuits aren’t just tasty; they come with meaningful nutritional benefits, thanks to the star ingredient: Greek yogurt.
Greek Yogurt
- Packed with high-quality protein to keep you fuller longer
- Contains probiotics, which support gut health and digestion
- Lower in fat than traditional biscuit ingredients like butter or cream
Flour
- A simple, energizing carbohydrate that fuels your body
- Works with the protein in yogurt to create a balanced snack
Minimal Ingredients
- No added butter or oil
- Lower in saturated fat
- Naturally portion-controlled thanks to the “drop biscuit” style
These biscuits are a great option for families looking to make healthier swaps without sacrificing flavor or comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Greek yogurt: Fold in the yogurt until a thick, sticky dough forms. (Sticky is perfect—no kneading required!)
- Drop onto the baking sheet: Scoop large spoonfuls of dough onto a prepared baking sheet. No shaping needed; these are drop biscuits.
- Bake: Bake at 375°F for about 18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Serve warm: Enjoy straight from the oven or drizzle with a little honey for a naturally sweet touch.
