The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health.
Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, support the digestive system, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1. Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health including vitamins D3, K, and B 12 along with calcium and potassium. Along with our kefir, we also offer our creamy, cultured Lifeway Farmer Cheese, a high protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt or sugar.
Prep Time: 45 mins Servings: 9-12Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (use gluten-free if needed)
- 3 tbsp. coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups Lowfat Plain Kefir
- 1/2 cup slightly melted (not completely liquid, just melted) Salted Kefir Butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried
- optional: 1-2 tsp. turbinado sugar or additional coconut sugar for sprinkling
Directions
- Heat oven to 425°F and set aside a 9x9" glass baking dish.
- To a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon zest; whisk until well combined.
- Pour the Lifeway Lowfat Plain Kefir into the flour mixture and stir with a large spoon or spatula until just combined. Add 1/4 cup of the slightly melted Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter, and mix until just incorporated. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of the melted Lifeway Kefir Butter into the glass baking pan, then pour the batter directly over the butter. If using the additional coconut sugar or turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top, add it now.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until cooked through. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the pan with foil and continue baking until done or a fork comes out clean and the biscuits are a deep golden color.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into 9-12 square biscuits. Enjoy!
- These will keep for one week in the fridge, so cover with wrap and refrigerate if you have leftovers, then reheat before serving. Enjoy!
