  • 2 tablespoons Wood’s Ghosted Maple Syrup
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: spray butter, an extra tablespoon of butter, or garlic spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.

  2. Spray a 9 ½-inch round baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients and mix well.

  4. Cut in cold butter with a pastry blender (or two knives/forks) until the mixture is made up of fine crumbs.

  5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, Greek yogurt, and milk. 

  6. Stir into dry ingredients until just moistened – do not over-mix! (If your dough is still a little dry, add an extra splash of milk).
