Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seed butter (nut-free peanut butter alternative)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the butter to keep the biscuits flaky.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, stir together the sunflower seed butter, milk, and honey (or maple syrup, if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out rounds, re-rolling scraps as needed.

Step 7

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
