Whole-Grain Low-Fat Biscuits

 

These low-fat whole-grain biscuits are fast and easy. For a no-oil version, see  No-Butter Biscuits.  Instead of rolling them, you use a release scoop and place them directly onto the baking sheet.  The longest part of the job is waiting for the oven to heat up to temperature.
