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

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt: Fold in the yogurt until a thick, sticky dough forms. (Sticky is perfect—no kneading required!)
  3. Drop onto the baking sheet: Scoop large spoonfuls of dough onto a prepared baking sheet. No shaping needed; these are drop biscuits.
  4. Bake: Bake at 375°F for about 18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Serve warm: Enjoy straight from the oven or drizzle with a little honey for a naturally sweet touch.

 

A Healthy, Comforting Treat Any Time of Day
