Kefir Biscuits

Kefir Biscuits
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup each old-fashioned oats, ground flaxseed, natural wheat bran, and sesame seeds
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon granulated (white) sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup kefir milk

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place on top of another cookie sheet in order to prevent bottoms from becoming too brown.
In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients except the kefir. Add in the kefir. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, a large ice cream scoop works really well for this. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
This is my latest creation using kefir. Kefir is just like using yogurt or buttermilk in these biscuits- it adds a little flavor and makes the biscuits moist. It also keeps the biscuits from being too heavy, even though they contain a good amount of hearty whole grains. 
Here are two other kefir creations:  {Kefir Smoothie} and {Kefir Oatmeal}.
