Ingredients

Scale

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:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Stir in the honey and almond milk until the dough just comes together.

  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

  6. Fold the dough into thirds, then roll it out again to 1-inch thickness.

  7. Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

For the Chocolate Gravy:

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch.

  2. Gradually add oat milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

  4. Remove from heat and stir in coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

  5. 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.
