Ingredients
For the Shortcake:
- 1 cup Gluten Free oat flour
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 drops liquid stevia
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
For the Topping:
- ¼ cup non fat Greek yogurt
- 5-6 drops liquid stevia
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the ingredients for the biscuits and stir them together until the liquid is dissolved. The batter will be sticky.
- Divide the batter evenly into five equal sections. Place each one onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 F 15-18 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits sit on the baking sheet 5 minutes to set before transferring to a wire baking rack to cool.
- While the biscuits cool, combine the ingredients for the topping in a bowl except for the strawberries.
- Prepare the biscuits by layering the topping over them and placing sliced strawberries on top.
Notes
-
- Store Separately: To keep everything fresh store the biscuits, topping, and berries separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. The biscuits are suitable for freezing but not the berries or yogurt.
- Ripe Strawberries: Juicy, fresh and very ripe strawberries will have the best sweet flavor. Choose red and blemish-free berries with bright green tops for the best results.
- Shaping the Biscuits: Use a spoon to transfer the batter to your baking tray and then smooth the sides and top for an attractive finish.
