  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  8. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
  9. Make the Chocolate Gravy:
  10. In a saucepan, whisk sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch.
  11. Gradually add oat milk, whisking until smooth.
  12. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened (5–7 minutes).
  13. Remove from heat and stir in coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt.
  14. Serve warm biscuits smothered in chocolate gravy and enjoy!

Notes

Keep butter cold for flakier biscuits. If gravy is too thick, whisk in more milk; if too thin, simmer a little longer. Great for brunch, dessert, or a cozy breakfast.
