No one would ever suspect these are lower fat they bake out high and so moist with a lovely flavor!

Notes from our test kitchen; semi-thawed frozen blueberries may be used in place of cranberries but do not thaw completely and do not chop, if using frozen blueberries the baking time may need to be increased just slightly, and if desired you may top with a fat-free glaze, combine 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar with 2 tablespoons fat-free milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla, whisk until smooth then drizzle over the cooled loaves

This is so easy to make and no kneading or yeast involved, you can make one large loaf  a few smaller loaves or drop by tablespoonfuls for biscuits, make them up hours in advance cover and refrigerate and  just pop them into the oven before dinner

Notes from our test kitchen; the bread/buns are at their best when served warm right out of the oven, this recipe was tested using original Bisquick baking mix I cannot promise the same results using a Bisquick clone

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups original Bisquick baking mix

3/4 to 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 to 1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold water

TOPPING:

3 tablespoons melted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or to taste)

1 teaspoon dried parsley (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS:————————————————-

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (use convection bake if possible).

Grease a foil-lined baking sheet.

In a large bowl toss the baking mix with shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese and 1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder.

Add in water and using clean hands mix until well combined.

Shape the dough into one oval-shape loaf, or a few smaller loaves or drop by tablespoonfuls for biscuits.

Place the loaves on the baking sheet.

Brush the tops with melted butter then sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning and parsley (at this point you may cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake).

Bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown (reduce baking time for smaller loaves or biscuits).

Best served warm.
