Ingredients for Breakfast Protein Biscuits

• ½ cup (60g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder (see best protein powders)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup (60g) cold unsalted butter, diced

• ½ cup (120ml) low-fat milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• ½ cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs

How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Ingredients

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter

• Add the cold butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and eggs until smooth.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, add cheddar cheese, and stir just until combined (don’t overmix!).

Step 5: Shape the Protein Biscuits

• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
• Cut out 2-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or glass. Re-roll scraps as needed to cut out about 10 biscuits.

Step 6: Bake

• Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
• Let cool slightly before serving.

Breakfast Protein Biscuits Variations

• Bacon & Chive Biscuits – Fold in ¼ cup cooked, crumbled bacon and 2 tablespoons chopped chives.
