Weight Watchers Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits
Homemade biscuits with cheddar cheese and jalapeno pieces.
Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp Zero-calorie granulated sweetener such as monk fruit with erythritol
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- 1 ¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup light butter substitute I used I can't believe it's not butter, light
- ⅔ cup diced jalapeno canned or fresh (you can use ½ cup for less spiciness)
- ½ cup fat-free cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In one bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix until there are no lumps. Add in the butter substitute and work it in by hand; stop mixing once it is crumbly, and the butter pieces are about the size of peas.
- Add the yogurt, jalapenos, and shredded cheese. Mix gently with your hands until it comes together. If it seems dry, add a splash of water until the dough just comes together, being careful not to over-mix.
- Shape the dough into a rectangular shape and cut it into 12 squares. I cut mine 3 by 4.
- Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush them with the beaten egg, and bake them in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until thoroughly baked and golden brown.
