Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 0.75 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons light butter, melted
• 0.5 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese and optional chives into the dry ingredients, tossing to coat and distribute evenly.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and half of the melted light butter. Mix until they are well blended.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the biscuits tender.

Step 6

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 12 equal mounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining melted light butter to help create a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm, either plain or with your favorite low-fat spread.
