Wow, was this post a hot mess this morning! Let’s make this a bit better, mkay?
Since I made the potato breakfast muffins that reminded me of potato biscuits, well, I’ve had biscuits on my brain. Tuesday night when I got home from work, I got Bizzy in My Kitchen, trying to stay out of Hannah’s way – she was on a mission making dinner for her, Jacob and Jacob’s grandpa. What they were having didn’t fit into my meal plan that day, so I happily kept to my corner of the kitchen and made these biscuits.
You need a bowl, the ingredients, and a fork to blend. That’s it. No dragging out the food processor or anything like that. The first batch I used coconut cream which Hannah bought when they were both doing keto – that was my fat for the biscuits, and only used a tablespoon.
The first two bites of the biscuits were heaven, until that third bite, and I was like “what the hell is that taste?!” I looked on the container the coconut cream was in . . . um, it expired in early October 2017. It also had too much baking soda too.
I quickly redid the recipe, this time adding butter instead of the coconut cream because I figured everyone would have that, and reduced the amount of baking soda, and second batch? Literally delicious #legitness!
I rolled the dough out into a rectangle, divided the dough into 8 seconds, quickly rolled them into balls and put them in my cast iron skillet.

I am a huge fan of McDonalds breakfast biscuit, but not at 21 points. My biscuits are only 4 points and with egg whites, spinach and cheese, breakfast was 5 points.
I toasted the biscuit at work so it tasted like it just came out of the oven.
These would freeze really well too – just take a frozen one out of the freezer, toss it in your bag and it will defrost in no time. #mealplan

Work was busy, so I only got a 30 minute break to eat my soup. Lasagna soup except I forgot to bring the noodles so lunch was only 3 points.
Anyone heard of jackfruit? It’s a fruit that once cooked, shreds like chicken. I had jackfruit tacos on my menu and was a bit skeptical looking at this coming out of the can.
I cooked it with a bit of water and taco seasoning to start and figured once it was able to shred that it was “done.” I took one bite and tasted …nothing. Only taco seasoning!
But at only 1 point a cup, I was able to jack it up (get it!) and added corn, baby spinach mix and cheese and I really loved these tacos.
I could only eat two and I was full. On the side is a mashed bean dish made by cooking down white beans with lime, and chili lime seasoning, then mashing with a potato masher. Zero point side šš»
Hannah ate her dinner chips and dip style and said “let’s make this again!” #winning
And because Roman is so cute, I’ll leave you with this picture.
But make these biscuits – they are legitimately delicious = #legitness
Make it a great day!
I need to pin these and I love your new look! Legit is right!
Jackfruit, interesting. I’m all about a good filler for tacos I will have to do some research. I have to admit that your biscuits look great and I may try them for my family. I’m always trying to healthy them up. They are fast food biscuit junkies. The mashed white beans are something I think I would really enjoy.
The best part is that the biscuits don’t require a food processor – I mainly mixed with a fork – I updated this post so it’s not so awful as it was earlier, with a printable recipe – let me know if you make them š
Jackfruit???!!! what does it look like and where do you buy?
I’ve not seen it “fresh” in grocery stores in Chicago, but maybe places like Whole Foods has them? Anywho, I got it canned from Trader Joe’s for $1.99. Once cooked, you can shred it like meat, although someone told me today that you aren’t supposed to eat the seeds – oops!
LOL! This is funny because Rob and I were just talking last night that we aren’t huge fans of biscuits. Why did a biscuit convo come up you ask? I have no idea. Maybe we were calling forth your biscuit recipe. š
Thank you Carrie, I was starting to think I was the only person in the world who didn’t do biscuits. š
Tony wasn’t much of a fan either of biscuits, unless they had sausage gravy over the top! He never once even licked a scone I made after trying a scone once in 1985 and deciding he would never put on in his mouth for the rest of his life, and he never did!
