These are great breakfast biscuits, lightly sweet with wonderfully balanced flavors. I put together pieces of three different recipes to arrive here, and I really love the result. These biscuits scored well in my house! I always bake biscuits on a pizza stone, which I preheat as the oven preheats. I'm not sure how this affects baking time, so if you're using a lightly greased cookie sheet, I'd recommend watching them closely after the first 10 minutes! Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1/2 cup white flour |
1 cup oats |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup dark brown sugar |
1/4 cup pecans, chopped |
1/8 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
4 tablespoons butter |
1 banana, very ripe |
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400' F.
2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients down to the nutmeg.
3. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
4. Mash the banana in a separate bowl, and mix the yogurt into it.
5. Fold the banana-yogurt mixture into the dry ingredients and mix briefly. The dough will be quite loose and sticky.
6. Turn out onto a heavily-floured board and knead about 6 times. Sprinkle with plenty of white flour to keep it from sticking to everything.
7. Roll the dough out 3/8 to 1/2 thick, and cut into 3 rounds. Arrange with sides touching on a seasoned or lightly-greased baking sheet.
8. Bake at 400' F for 16-19 minutes, until browned.
