Whole Wheat Veggie Biscuits

Add broccoli and carrots into kid-friendly biscuits for a picky-eater win!

Whole Wheat Veggie Biscuits

Last week I was busy pureeing broccoli and carrots for

Broccoli Orzo

when I noticed how pretty the vegetables looked all crumbled together. I started wondering how else I could use this gorgeous blend of veggies, and I decided to try incorporating them into the buttery biscuits my kids love to eat. Guess what? Whole Wheat Veggie Biscuits became a hit!

We want to share this recipe with you because it’s a great one to try with your picky eaters. The veggies are finely-chopped and baked into kid-pleasing biscuits.

Notice how I didn’t call them “hidden” veggies? We are always honest and up-front with our kids about the ingredients that go into their food. And we advocate this approach to all parents!

Not only does this help you gain trust with your kids, it also opens the door to greater food acceptance later on. If your kids decide they love these Whole Wheat Veggie Biscuits, they might be more willing to try broccoli soup next week. And that benefits everybody!

Turning these biscuits into a veggie bonanza was so simple. All I did was incorporate a cup of processed and chopped carrots and broccoli into a simple whole wheat biscuit recipe.

Your family will love the familiar, warm biscuits flavored with tiny veggies (flavor-wise, think veggie crackers or veggie cream cheese. Yum!)

Follow the steps below to whip up a batch of Whole Wheat Veggie Biscuits tonight!

First, peel and roughly chop one carrot and two cups of broccoli.
