5. Cinnamon Bun Bites (makes 24)

You’ll need…

*2 cups (500 mL) whole wheat flour
*1 tsp. (5 mL) baking powder
*1/4 tsp. (2 mL) salt
*1/2 cup (125 mL) water or milk
*1/4 cup (60 mL) canola oil
*1 large egg
*2 Tbsp. (30 mL) honey
*1 tsp. (5 mL) cinnamon
*1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Cream cheese drizzle (optional):
*1/4 cup (60 mL) light cream cheese
*1-2 Tbsp. (15-30 mL) milk or water

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl stir together water, oil and egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until you have a soft dough.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat the dough into a rectangle that measures roughly 8×14-inch. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts, if using. Starting from a long edge, roll up jelly-role style and pinch the edge to seal. Using a sharp serrated knife or (even better) dental floss, slice half an inch thick and place slices cut side down on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.

4. Bake for about 15 minutes, until springy to the touch. Wait until they have cooled completely before you spread them with cream cheese.

5. Makes about 2 dozen biscuits. Store extra in a tightly covered container of freeze. If they are frosted, store the container in the fridge.

6. Wheat Germ Biscuits (makes 24)

You’ll need…

*1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
*1/2 cup wheat germ
*1/2 cup melted bacon fat
*1 large egg
*1/2 cup cold water

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix by hand until dough forms. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Add more bacon fat or water if the dough is too stiff.

3. Roll out onto a floured surface, to a thickness of just under 1/2-inch. Cut into 1×4-inch bars and transfer to a cookie sheet. Poke divots into the bars (I use the end of a chopstick) and bake in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the oven off, flip the bars, and place back in the oven until cool (this will further crisp them).

4. Treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
