Description

Warm, fluffy, and packed with protein — these Breakfast Protein Biscuits are the ultimate fuel for busy mornings, easy to customize and freezer-friendly.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1¾ cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • ¼ cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional Ham & Cheese: wilted spinach, chopped chives, shredded cheddar (reserve some), diced ham
  • Optional Mediterranean: crumbled chicken sausage, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta (reserve some), dried basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease muffin tin or line a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in flour, flaxseed, baking powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
  4. Choose your version: add your desired mix-ins (Ham & Cheese or Mediterranean).
  5. Scoop about ⅓ cup dough per biscuit onto baking sheet or into muffin wells. Wet hands if needed to shape.
  6. Top with reserved cheese or feta. Bake ~25 minutes, until golden and firm.
  7. Cool 10 minutes before serving for best texture.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days. Freeze raw dough portions and bake as needed. Reheat baked biscuits in microwave or low oven. Customize with your favorite add-ins like veggies, turkey, or dairy-free swaps.
