Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved horizontally
  • ¾ cup low-fat frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip® Lite), thawed (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your hands until crumbly.

Step 3
Stir buttermilk and applesauce together in a separate bowl; pour into the flour mixture until dough comes together and is sticky. Using 2 spoons, drop dough into about 1/2 tablespoon-size mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, making 36 total mounds.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool biscuits.

Step 5
Thread 3 biscuits onto each skewer, alternating with 3 strawberries halves, until all the ingredients are used. Top each skewer with whipped topping.

Cook’s Notes:

If you can't find 6-inch skewers and need to cut them in half, use a pair of pliers that can cut wood or wire instead of scissors or breaking them in half by hand. They're called skewers for a reason!
