Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for savory biscuits)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 egg

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan)
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or bacon
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
  3. Cut in Butter:

    • Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and egg.
    • Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
    • If adding cheese, cooked bacon, or herbs, fold them in at this stage.
  5. Shape & Bake:

    • Lightly flour a surface and pat the dough into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
    • Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or shape into squares.
    • Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool & Serve:

    • Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with eggs, avocado, or as a breakfast sandwich!

Notes

  • For gluten-free biscuits, use a gluten-free flour blend and a plant-based protein powder.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter after baking.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
