Step 1

For the Biscuits:

Step 2

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your biscuits bake evenly and rise beautifully.

Step 3

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you’re adding honey for sweetness, you can mix it in with the wet ingredients later.

Step 4

Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The key here is to keep the butter cold—this creates those flaky layers we all love.

Step 5

Add the Milk: Slowly pour in the cold almond milk, stirring gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix; a shaggy dough is perfectly fine.

Step 6

Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter), then roll it out again to 1-inch thickness. This folding technique creates extra layers for flaky biscuits.

Step 7

Cut the Biscuits: Use a round biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits. Press straight down—don’t twist! Twisting seals the edges and prevents them from rising.

Step 8

Bake to Perfection: Place the biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 9

For the chocolate sauce:

Step 10

Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. This ensures there are no lumps and the gravy thickens evenly.

Step 11

Add the Milk: Gradually pour in the oat milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Keep whisking until everything is smooth and well combined.

Step 12

Cook Over Medium Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be patient—it’ll start to thicken as it heats up.

Step 13

Finish with Butter and Vanilla: Once the gravy is thick and bubbly, remove it from the heat. Stir in the coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. The butter adds richness, and the vanilla rounds out the flavors.

Step 14

Pro Tip: If your gravy is too thick, whisk in a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
