Do you like Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay biscuits but don't want the unnecessary calories? These are sooo good! I got this recipe from my Grandma awhile ago and it was one of my absolute favorites so I decided to modify it so they would be healthy. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a quick snack to serve to friends and they won't kill your diet. Traditional biscuits from Red Lobster contain roughly 150 calories per biscuit with 8 grams of fat. These healthier cheddar biscuits are only about 95 calories and 2 grams of fat! For all you Weight Watchers fans, that's only 2 points per biscuit. Sounds great, huh?? Well try them and I KNOW you'll love them!

Here are your ingredients:
Recipe adapted from Gina's Skinny Recipes
2 Tbsp. light butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
2 cups Heart Smart Bisquick
1 cup of shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese
2/3 cup fat free milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In large bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheddar cheese and 1 clove of minced garlic. Stir in milk and mix. Drop batter by heaping spoonfuls onto prepared cookies sheet (should make about 12 biscuits). Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small frying pan, add the other glove of minced garlic and saute on low heat about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add fresh parsley. Brush biscuits with melted butter mixture and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.

These are the best. And reduced calories and fat, makes it even better. Thanks for sharing.
Me and my boyfriend really loved them, thanks so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I haven't been to Red Lobster in many years but I always remember those biscuits, damn good! Thanks for the "healthier" recipe, I will try these!
I made this last night and my housemates and I LOVED it! Do you mind if I post the recipe on my blog and say that I got it from yours? We are big fans of your blog!
Can you make this recipe with different pancake mix? I typically use aunt jemima complete buttermilk, and that's what I have in my cabinet. Nutrition information is essentially the same, but I wasn't sure if the buttermilk or complete (ie: just add water) will make a difference in the taste/consistency of the biscuits.
I was able to get these down to 1 point. I used a cookie dough scoop, which allowed me to get 16 biscuits and I used brummel and brown yogurt butter. They turned out great.
Hi there! I just discovered your blog today when I saw your oatmeal cookie recipe. I think I'll be browsing for a few hours! Everything looks great! Your new house is looking gorgeous!
