Vegan Fat-Free Whole Wheat Maple Cornmeal Biscuits Recipe

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Recipe

I love cornbread, but I also love biscuits. I brought them together for this recipe and my goodness -- what a perfect match! These biscuits are a little sweet too -- perfect for a sunny Sunday brunch. I like to smear a little Earth Balance over the tops of the biscuits when they're still warm. Not exactly fat-free but a nice treat every now and then. These biscuits are also great with vegetarian chili.

Recipe:Maple Cornmeal Biscuits

Description

Not your typical biscuit, but still totally awesome. Maple and cornmeal were meant for each other. These babies were also featured on Meatless Monday!

Ingredients

½ cup cornmeal
½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ whole banana, cold
¼ cup nondairy milk
2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease cookie sheet and set aside. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a food processor and run for about 10 seconds, ensuring even distribution. Add banana and allow to run until flour is pebble-like. Transfer to a mixing bowl and combine with non-dairy milk and maple, stirring until well combined. Use a spoon to drop 6 biscuits at least 2" apart. Bake about 7-8 minutes, until edges are just crisp and slightly brown.
