Sweet Blueberry Biscuits
Sweet Blueberry Biscuits are a delightfully tender and flaky treat that’s filled with juicy blueberries and topped with a sweet glaze. They’re not heavy or overly sweet either.
I think they’re a perfect breakfast or brunch option, and if you’re not a fan of blueberries, feel free to omit them. They will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & fruity biscuit that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a tender biscuit and pair it with sweet blueberries and a sugary glaze, you get the perfect combination. The addition of fresh blueberries just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for a fresh and fruity breakfast, and these dreamy biscuits remind me of sunny mornings. Not a fan of blueberries? Don’t worry, they’re still delicious without them.
