Description
These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are fluffy, filling, and perfect for meal prep. Made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and whole wheat flour, they deliver a hearty, high-protein breakfast you can grab on the go.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (high protein)
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: 1/2 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped spinach
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix.
6. If using, fold in shredded cheddar, turkey sausage, or spinach.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll to about 3/4-inch thickness.
8. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out biscuits and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops with a little milk if you want extra golden color.
10. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
11. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm, or cool completely for meal prep/freezing.
Notes
You can replace the protein powder 1:1 with additional flour or oat flour if desired.
Dough too dry? Add 1–2 tablespoons extra milk — some protein powders absorb more liquid.
To freeze: cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer.
For a no-egg version: use 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water (let sit 5 minutes).
Great served as breakfast sandwiches with eggs, turkey bacon, or avocado.
