Nothing says “let’s stay in and have breakfast in bed” to me than a good biscuit. And even better when that biscuit is vegan and accompanied by a delicious fresh fruit jam! MMM cozy!
I love these biscuits because you’ll have no idea that they are vegan! They even passed the taste test of my certainly-not-a-vegan husband!
To make the biscuits vegan, I swapped out the standard dairy for So Delicious Coconutmilk. It comes in a shelf stable and a refrigerated version, which makes it ideal for anyone just trying out the non-dairy plant based lifestyle!
So Delicious, as a part of their parent company, Danone North America has also made a commitment to sustainability by becoming a Certified BCorporation®! For those of us going plant based to reduce our impact on this world, Danone’s commitment makes So Delicious my number one choice for dairy alternatives.
In order to get a flaky texture, you’ll want to keep everything as cold as possible. Vegan butter tends to be soft even after refrigeration so keeping the other ingredients cold will help make the biscuits the right texture.
I use a pastry cutter to mix all the ingredients so my hands don’t warm anything up. I’ll also put the biscuit dough back in the fridge before baking as well.
Nothing completes this dish other than some fresh blackberry jam. Only two ingredients required – fresh blackberries and sugar! I get my blackberries and all the other ingredients for this dish from my local Sprouts Farmer’s Market. They often have great deals on their mobile app!
