Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cups Low-fat buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives

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, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the low-fat buttermilk and olive oil, mixing gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this will result in tougher biscuits.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a disc about 1-inch thick.

Step 7

Use a floured biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut out more biscuits until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between each.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
