Description
These Breakfast Protein Biscuits combine the nostalgic flakiness of traditional biscuits with the modern energy boost of protein-rich ingredients. Perfect for meal prep, cozy mornings, or on-the-go fuel.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Optional: ½ cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheese
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)
- Optional: Crumbled turkey sausage or plant-based protein
- Optional: Dash of smoked paprika or garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, egg, oil, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Gradually add wet ingredients to the dry, mixing just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in cheese, herbs, or protein bits if using.
- Use a spoon or hands to scoop about ¼ cup portions onto the baking sheet. Shape into rounds or keep rustic.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with jam or nut butter for a sweet-savory combo.
Notes
To avoid dense biscuits, don’t overmix the dough. Keep yogurt and milk cold for better rise. Use a protein powder you enjoy in shakes for best flavor. Drop-style biscuits mean no rolling or cutting needed.
