Easy 5 ingredient whole wheat biscuits!


What you'll need:










Adapted from The Kind Diet, p. 197

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (found at Whole Foods)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup safflower oil
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees
  • Combine the flour, baking powder & salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Slowly pour in the oil, mixing with a fork until mixture is combined
  • Add the milk and mix thoroughly
  • Lightly flour a cutting board
  • Gather the dough into a ball and place on the cutting board
  • Kneed the dough about 25 times with your hands and then gather dough into a ball again
  • Use a rolling pin the flatten out the dough until it's a 1/2" thick
  • Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass (I used a glass with a 2.5" rim) to cut the biscuits
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on the sheet at least 1" apart
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the bottoms are golden 
  • Serve with cookie butter (yum!), jam, or Earth Balance butter

I found this biscuit recipe in Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet". These are so easy to make and my boyfriend and I love having them for breakfast! They are so filling and yummy. We both love spreading cookie butter on them and sometimes I have them with jam. Enjoy!

  2. Yes! I prefer safflower oil because it has a milder taste but olive oil can be used too!
