Healthier Garlic and Cheese Biscuits

I took a bite and have no words. These biscuits are crispy, craggy, and tender with lots of cheesy flavor. Unlike normal biscuits these don't need stellar baking skills. There is no need to laminate the dough or perform an intricate amount of folding. These get mixed, patted and air-fried. The best part? They’re healthier! They’re made with cleaner ingredients and are lower in fat and carbs. But they can compete with any full-fat biscuit. That makes’EM perfect for everyday lov’N. They could stand in as a dupe for Red Lobster’s Cheddar Biscuits. 

Serve these as an Egg and Cheese on a Biscuit, with sausage gravy, on the side at dinner, with mashed avocado or slide a poached egg on top. Honestly these are so good that a drizzle of hot honey is all I've needed. Let me know how you’d eat one…

MAKEAHEAD

These can be prepped and refrigerated for at least 1 day before baking off. 

EXTRA TIP

Make minis and eat a smaller portion for even less carbs and fat. That way you get some comfort food without breaking your goals.

SUBSITUTIONS

If you don't like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, feel free to brush the top with a little melted butter. Using a tiny amount of this product gives us that Red Lobster biscuit feel.

I've successfully used nonfat Greek yogurt and Two Good plain yogurt. Both have similar stats.
