Peanut Butter Oat Biscuits
Calling all peanut butter lovers – try this new spin on an old-time favorite. These hearty biscuits made with whole grain oats and nutrient-rich dairy can be filled with a number of delicious fillings.
Prep: 20 min | Bake: 12 min | Yield: 9 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk (lactose-free milk is an option)
- 1/3 cup fat-free Greek yogurt, honey flavored
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes (extra cold)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Melted butter for brushing on top of biscuits (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk milk and yogurt together until a thick mixture forms and set aside.
- Whisk together oats, flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut butter into flour with a fork until the flour becomes crumbly.
- Combine peanut butter and milk mixture in a separate bowl until fully combined. Add this to your flour mixture and stir until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly knead the dough a few times.
- Roll dough out into a 1 inch thick disc; be careful not to overwork the dough though.
- Using a round cookie cutter/dough cutter push down into dough and lightly twist. Repeat until dough is used up and place on a baking sheet. Dough should make about 9 to 12 biscuits.
- Brush the tops of each biscuit with a little melted butter, if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden brown (use the lower oven rack if not brushing with butter).
- Let cool on cooling rack for 5 minutes and serve warm with your favorite filling.
Notes
Filling suggestions: low-fat yogurt and berry mixture, butter, fat-free cream cheese, jam, apple butter, honey, chocolate, chocolate hazelnut spread, or more peanut butter.
Biscuits stay fresh covered in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. These also freeze well.
These are best served warm, re-toasted in the oven with apple butter or cream cheese on top!
