Heart Healthy Biscuits
Delicious heart healthy biscuits to warm your heart. We remixed the recipe by replacing the fat with nonfat Greek yogurt and buttermilk.
A traditional 2 inch biscuit has 10g of fat and these tasty treats are only 1 g of fat.
Bonus we used some whole wheat flour to help your heart a little more.
My dad was the king of biscuit making.
I’m sure he would proud of our heart healthy version.

Makes: 10 Biscuits
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour (all-purpose)
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Nonfat Buttermilk (or plant based milk)
1 cup All Purpose Flour
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
Using a pastry cutter, gradually cut in small amounts of the yogurt and milk into the flour mixture until incorporated. The dough should be crumbly and not in a big ball.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it together. The best way is to fold it over and over onto itself and press down to work it together. Roll or pat dough into a circle about 2 inches high. Avoid overworking the dough!
Using a biscuit cutter or small glass, cut out biscuits until no dough is left. Continue with remaining pieces of dough until none is left. It should make about 10 biscuits. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes (start checking at 10 minutes). Take them out when they are just turning golden brown.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serving
Add In: Cheese, spices, or herbs for a little flavor. Incorporate your add ins during step 2.
Don’t Have A Pastry Cutter: Use 2 knives.
