High-Fiber Buttermilk Biscuits
If you love classic buttermilk biscuits but want a smarter, more balanced version, this recipe delivers.
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. These biscuits are thoughtfully reformulated to improve nutrition while keeping the process simple, familiar, and delicious.
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
Keep it ice cold: Keep your butter and buttermilk as cold as possible. This creates pockets of steam during baking, which leads to a better rise and flakier layers.
Handle with care: Avoid overworking the dough. Gentle handling is key to maintaining a tender texture, especially when working with higher-fiber flour blends.
Cut straight down: When cutting out your biscuits, press straight down without twisting the cutter. Twisting seals the edges of the dough and prevents the biscuits from rising properly.
Maximize the first roll: Try to cut as many biscuits as possible from the first press. Reworking the dough too many times can reduce lift and flakiness.
Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend, secondary flour (white whole wheat or all-purpose), baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small, pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
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.
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 build those signature flaky layers.
Pat the dough down to about ½-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, press straight down to cut out your biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet so that they are lightly touching (this helps them rise upward!). Lightly brush the tops with a little extra buttermilk and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
Fiber Gourmet Flour Blend is designed to help you enjoy your favorite baked goods while increasing fiber intake. It performs similarly to traditional all-purpose flour
while providing more fiber, making it an easy swap for creating lighter
desserts without sacrificing texture.
These high-fiber biscuits are versatile enough for any meal:
Biscuits rely heavily on structural gluten to trap steam and rise into distinct, flaky layers. Because our High Fiber Flour Blend is so rich in fiber, blending in a small amount of white whole wheat or all-purpose flour provides the perfect structural balance needed to get that high, airy bakery-style rise.
Absolutely! While 1 teaspoon of sugar is a tiny amount used primarily to help with the golden browning of the crust, you can absolutely swap it 1:1 with a granulated sugar substitute like monk fruit or erythritol.
Yes, biscuits freeze beautifully! You can cut out the raw dough circles, place them on a tray to freeze solid, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake them straight from the freezer at 450°F, just add an extra 2–4 minutes to the total baking time.
Our versatile Flour Blend delivers the exact same weight, volume, and texture as traditional all-purpose flour, but packs a massive fiber boost with fewer calories. It's the easiest upgrade for your baking routine!
