Angel's No-Added-Fat Whole Wheat Biscuits
Tired of bland biscuits that fall flat? In this video, I reveal why fresh-ground whole grains completely transform the flavor and texture of your biscuits—even with no added fat! Learn why store-bought self-rising flour is “dead,” and how home-milled grains bring your baking to life. I’ll also share the fun of experimenting with different wheat varieties like red wheat, kamut, and spelt.
Equipment
- 1 Grain mill
Ingredients
- 580 grams whole wheat flour approximately 4 ½ - 5 cups, depending on how you measure
- 2 cups whole grain flour for kneading and shaping
- 1 cup plain soy milk yogurt
- 400 grams water ~ approximately 2 cups adjust as needed
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: 450°F or 230°C. Line a baking sheet with Silpat mat, parchment paper, or lightly flour.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the plain soy milk yogurt and water. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a thick slightly sticky dough is fine.
- Knead lightly: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough out and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Do NOT over-knead; you want the biscuits to stay tender.
- Roll and cut: Roll the dough to about ¾ inch thickness. Cut biscuits with a round cutter or glass.
- Place and bake: Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with a small gap between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and serve: Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes. Enjoy warm with your favorite plant-based sausage, spread, soup, or gravy!

Notes
Using the yogurt will give the moisture and light tang that is usually achieved by oil and buttermilk.
• For fluffier biscuits, handle the dough as little as possible.
• These freeze well! Bake and cool completely, then freeze in a sealed container.
