This recipe is a healthy alternative to Cheddar Bay Biscuits made with cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, and olive oil. You’d never guess that these tender and fluffy biscuits pack as much nutrition as ½ cup oatmeal and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

Notes
If you have whey from making yogurt, you can replace the water and vinegar with whey.
I recommend brushing the biscuits just before serving so they don’t absorb the liquid.
You can store the biscuits in the refrigerator, and heating them and brushing them with the topping before serving.
