These Healthy Greek Yogurt Biscuits are a light and delicious twist on classic biscuits, made with fat-free Greek yogurt and a sugar substitute for a healthier treat. Perfect for breakfast or as a snack, these biscuits come together quickly and bake to a golden, fluffy perfection without the use of heavy cream or excessive sugar, making them both nutritious and satisfying.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 C (180g) All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbsp (24g) Granulated Sugar Substitute (e.g., Swerve)
  • 1/2 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt or 1/4 tsp Table Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 C (170g) Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 2 Tbsp (28g) Light Butter (e.g., Land O’ Lakes with canola)
  • 1 Egg Yolk, for brushing (or alternatives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. This ensures the biscuits do not stick and bake evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Cut in Butter: Using a fork, cut the light butter into the dry mixture until small pea-sized pieces of butter remain, which helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
  4. Add Greek Yogurt and Form Dough: Add the fat-free Greek yogurt to the bowl and mix gently until a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overmix; some flour remnants may remain, which is normal.
  5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough and any remaining dry ingredients onto a flat, clean surface. Use your hands to gently work the dough together until no crumbly bits remain, forming a cohesive dough ball.
  6. Shape and Cut the Dough: Press the dough into a rectangular shape approximately 1-inch thick. Cut the rectangle into 6 equal pieces to form individual biscuits.
  7. Brush with Egg Yolk: Place the biscuit pieces onto the prepared baking sheet and brush their tops evenly with the egg yolk. This step adds a golden sheen and slight crispness when baked.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen nicely and their tops are golden brown and set.

Notes

  • The sugar substitute used is Swerve, which is a low-calorie granulated sweetener.
  • The light butter used is Land O’ Lakes with canola oil, but any light or regular butter can be substituted.
  • For the egg yolk brush, alternatives include mixing 1/2 Tbsp (7g) light butter with 1 tsp honey, using 1 Tbsp liquid egg whites, or brushing with skim milk for a lighter glaze.
