- 1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 12 (6 inch) bamboo skewers
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved horizontally
- 3/4 cup low-fat frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip® Lite), thawed (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your hands until crumbly.
- Stir buttermilk and applesauce together in a separate bowl; pour into the flour mixture until dough comes together and is sticky. Using 2 spoons, drop dough into about 1/2 tablespoon-size mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, making 36 total mounds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the bottoms are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool biscuits.
- Thread 3 biscuits onto each skewer, alternating with 3 strawberries halves, until all the ingredients are used. Top each skewer with whipped topping.
