Healthy Homemade Bisquick
Who doesn’t love Bisquick? It has been a staple pantry item for years. Not only is it loved by adults, but kids also enjoy the quick, delicious treats. It was, and still is, appealing to all because of the versatility and ease that comes in a box. Now days, this quick and easy stuff comes with a hefty price tag and very unhealthy ingredients. So, why not make it yourself with healthy ingredients? That way, you can have it on hand whenever you need it. Now, that I have your attention and got you all excited, I want to tell you this recipe is not only yummy, but healthy! Coconut Oil, instead of hydrogenated oils and trans fats, along with the wonderful Unbleached White Spelt Flour, aluminum free baking powder and pure cane sugar, makes this ALMOST a health food.
When you have diet restrictions, making things taste the very best is important. I am trying to perfect the Gluten Free version of this recipe, so it is not quite ready to reveal yet, but it won’t be long. I promise, when I have it finished, it will be just as good as the Spelt Flour version. So, stay tuned….
This Healthy Homemade Bisquick should be kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place. It will be good for at least 4-5 months. Coconut oil will become liquid if put in temperatures above 76 degrees. That would ruin your mixture so you want to make sure you store in a cool place.
Below, I have included the links for the ingredients. I hope you all enjoy using it!
