Healthy Breakfast Biscuits
"I love biscuits and gravy in the morning, but these biscuits are so much healthier than the typical bisquick! Of course these biscuits can be made with a variety of things, but we've always made them with our Recipe #260063 or with some yummy jam in the morning. Originally from Patricia LaVanture's cooking program."

Worked well as a biscuit topping for Biscuit Topped Chicken Casserole (#38838). -
I'm sure it's me, because I'm a lousy baker... but mine barely rose at all & are very dry. I'll be trying them again because they are certainly healthier & they taste ok, but so far it seems that I must have done something wrong. Also, they're more like bread (due to the yeast, I'd guess) than biscuits. -
I generally would make my biscuits with butter and milk but for various reasons I needed a vegan version. Considering the ingredients I would give these biscuits 5 stars. This recipe is more than perfect if you need vegan whole wheat biscuits and are not a fan of soy milk. Compared to butter and milk biscuits I would probably rate them 4.75 stars. They taste almost as good, but who doesn't love butter. An excellent biscuit all around. I like forward to trying this recipe in the future substituting butter for the oil. -
I used all whole wheat flour and they were still good! I topped mine with some butter and Raspberry jelly. YUM! -
WOW, I think I have a new biscuit recipe. Mine didn't brown as much as I would have liked (even at 25 mins in the oven) but they were completely baked if pale. Delightfully light, fluffy and delicious they will be great for any meal. I used them for lunch in Recipe #331847. The extra time to make is more than worth it. I used no sweetening at all and that may have been a contributing factor in the lack of browning.

Update: We've moved back to the states, and are experiencing the joys of living in Wenatchee, WA for the first time! I'm spending most of my time in the kitchen canning, freezing, and drying fruit now and loving it!
We are a couple, Jason and Mollie, that loves to cook together. We have two wonderful DD's, Enjoli (9) and Emily (7) that make life so much more fun! I, Mollie, studied Nutrition so I try to make most of our meals healthy while still tasting great! Our girls love helping us cook...and eat! We're vegetarian and love eating healthy without missing any flavor! We try to eat mostly vegan, so we have many vegan recipes posted. We are world traveling missionaries and students that have visited many countries and have lived in the States, South Korea, and are currently in the Philippines. So we always need to adjust our menu based on the food available. Zaar has been a tremendous help!
