How to Make These Protein Biscuits

1. Preheat & Prep:Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin if you want biscuit muffins instead.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and eggs together until smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add in the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently until just combined — be careful not to overmix or your biscuits might turn out tough.

4. Add Your Flavor Bombs:Fold in your chosen mix-ins. If you’re going savory with ham, cheese, and chives, toss them in now. Or go Mediterranean style with sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta.

5. Shape Your Biscuits: Scoop about ⅓ cup of dough per biscuit, placing them spaced evenly on your baking sheet or into muffin wells.

6. Top and Bake:Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta over the tops for a golden, melty finish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until your biscuits have puffed up and turned a lovely golden brown.

7. Cool & Enjoy: Let them cool for about 10 minutes so they set perfectly. Then dig in!

Serving Suggestions

These protein-packed biscuits are fantastic on their own as a grab-and-go breakfast or alongside some scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. For a heartier meal, slice them open and stack with extra ham or sausage and a fried egg.

Final Tips

– Customization is key: Feel free to swap or add herbs and spices according to your taste.
– Make ahead: These freeze beautifully. Bake a batch, cool completely, and store in an airtight container or freezer bag for quick breakfasts all week long.
– Room temp eggs:Using eggs at room temperature helps them mix better with the yogurt, making for a smoother dough.
