Weight Watchers Garlic Cheese Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for extra fiber)
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 oz)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (substitute for heavy cream or butter)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 2 tbsp light butter (melted) or a plant-based butter
- 1/2 tsp garlic minced (optional for more garlic flavor)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the shredded cheese and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough into 8-10 biscuits, depending on desired size.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, you can brush the tops with a little melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic and parsley.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
