Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey (for a touch of sweetness)
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold almond milk (or regular milk)
For the Chocolate Gravy:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons cornstarch (for a smoother texture)
2 cups oat milk (or whole milk)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
For the Biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the honey and almond milk until the dough just comes together.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Fold the dough into thirds, then roll it out again to 1-inch thickness.
Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
For the Chocolate Gravy:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch.
Gradually add oat milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Serve warm over freshly baked biscuits.
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and coconut oil.
Add a dash of cinnamon or espresso powder to the gravy for a deeper flavor.
Leftover gravy can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
