Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 135kcal
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- ½ cup chickpea flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour, or gluten-free AP flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free, double acting)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek-style yogurt
- Salt or salt substitute to taste
- Nondairy milk for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 370ºF.Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: chickpea flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk well to combine.
- Add the yogurt and mix with a spoon until a flaky dough forms. Mix just enough to combine, but do not over mix.
- Use your hands to form six palm-sized biscuits and place them on the baking sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between them. Brush generously with non-dairy milk using a pastry brush.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then brush with non-dairy milk again. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Notes
- Nutrition facts will vary depending on the type of yogurt used.
- Flour: More of the whole wheat or AP flour can be swapped for chickpea flour, but too much can make the biscuits dense and crumbly. Keep a balance for the best texture.
- Baking powder: Choose a quality, aluminum-free brand and make sure it is not expired. For lighter cookies, use ¼ teaspoon more.
- Use a spoon to mix the dough. It will be flaky and shaggy, which is the ideal texture for tender biscuits. Avoid over-mixing to keep them light.
- Lightly grease your hands before forming the biscuits to prevent sticking.
- For crispier biscuits: Brush with olive oil halfway through baking instead of non-dairy milk for a golden exterior.
- Use your favorite seasonings to customize the flavor.
- Storage: Once cooled, store in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat on low in the oven or microwave.
- For serving: Serve with lentil hummus, creamy almond butter with chia jam, or an antioxidant dip, or enjoy them as is—they’re flaky and delicious on their own.
