Ingredients

BISCUITS:
2 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter cubed
1 cup milk
FILLING:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until crumbly. Pour milk over mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until dough comes together. Roll dough out to 1-in thickness and cut out biscuits using a 3-in biscuit cutter. Place biscuits 1-in apart upside-down on prepared baking sheet.
Bake biscuits at 425F 10-12 minutes or until golden. Cool biscuits on a wire cooling rack.
Make the filling: In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer, beat cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in syrup and lemon zest.
Assemble the shortcakes: Halve each biscuit and fill with whipped cream and fresh blueberries. Serve shortcakes immediately after assembling. Enjoy!
