To make Weight Watchers Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits, you will need 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of zero-calorie granulated sweetener (like monk fruit with erythritol), 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of table salt. For the wet ingredients, use 1 ¾ cups of nonfat plain Greek yogurt and ¼ cup of light butter substitute (such as I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Light). Add ⅔ cup of diced jalapeños (canned or fresh), ½ cup of shredded fat-free cheddar cheese, and 1 beaten egg for binding.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients, ensuring there are no lumps. Incorporate the butter substitute by hand until the mixture resembles crumbs with butter pieces the size of peas.

Gently mix in the yogurt, jalapeños, and shredded cheese with your hands. If the dough appears dry, add a splash of water until it just comes together, being careful not to over-mix.

Variations and Substitutions

These Cheddar Biscuits offer plenty of ways to make them your own! For a tangier twist, substitute half of the Greek yogurt with sour cream. Need a gluten-free option? Just swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend, checking all other ingredients for gluten-free labeling. If you’re up for experimenting with cheeses, try low-fat mozzarella or a multi-cheese blend instead of cheddar for a fresh flavor. Prefer granulated sugar over sweetener? Use the same amount, but be mindful of the extra points. And if you love round biscuits, grab a biscuit cutter—just keep in mind the yield may vary.
Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits

To get the best texture for Weight Watchers Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits, aim for a dough that’s not too wet but has a small amount of crumbs left to help with rolling. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the biscuits tough by activating the gluten too much. The dough doesn’t need kneading, and you can skip the rolling pin—just press it into a rectangle with your hands using parchment paper to help shape it. For a softer jalapeño flavor, try sautéing fresh diced jalapeños before folding them into the dough.
