High-Fiber Buttermilk Biscuits

If you love classic buttermilk biscuits but want a smarter, more balanced version, this recipe delivers. These high-fiber biscuits use Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend to reduce calories while adding fiber, without sacrificing the soft interior and golden, flaky layers you expect.

Traditional biscuits rely heavily on refined flour and butter. By making a few intentional swaps, you can enjoy the same comforting texture with a more modern nutritional profile that supports your goals.

Why Use Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend

Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend is designed to behave like traditional all-purpose flour, but with fewer digestible calories and significantly more fiber. That means you can bake your favorite recipes with minimal compromise.

In this biscuit recipe, Fiber Gourmet Flour works alongside a small amount of whole wheat or all-purpose flour to maintain structure while delivering a lighter, more satisfying result. The added fiber helps support fullness and better-for-you baking without changing the experience.

A Healthier Take on a Classic Biscuit

These biscuits are thoughtfully reformulated to improve nutrition while keeping the process simple and familiar. Butter is reduced but still present for flavor and flakiness, while nonfat Greek yogurt adds moisture and a subtle protein boost.

The result is a biscuit that feels indulgent but fits more easily into a balanced lifestyle. You still get tender layers, a crisp golden top, and that classic buttery aroma straight from the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend
• ½ cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 tablespoons plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¾ cup cold low-fat buttermilk

Optional: additional buttermilk for brushing tops

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend, secondary flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized pieces.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and Greek yogurt until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough just comes together.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently bring it together with your hands, then pat it into a rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, turn it, and repeat this process two more times to create layers.
6. Pat the dough to about ½-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, press straight down to cut out biscuits without twisting.
7. Place the biscuits so they are touching on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with buttermilk.
8. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Perfect High-Fiber Biscuits

Keep your butter and buttermilk as cold as possible. This helps create steam during baking, which leads to better rise and flakier layers.

Avoid overworking the dough. Gentle handling is key to maintaining a tender texture, especially when working with higher-fiber flour blends.

For the best results, try to cut as many biscuits as possible from the first roll. Reworking the dough can reduce lift and flakiness.

Serving Ideas

These high-fiber biscuits are versatile enough for any meal. Serve them warm with eggs for a balanced breakfast, alongside soups or salads for lunch, or as a lighter side for dinner.

They also work well for better-for-you sandwiches or as a base for classic biscuits and gravy with a healthier twist.
