Why You’ll Love These High Protein Breakfast Biscuits
Let’s be real: biscuits usually fall into the “comfort food” category, which means buttery, flaky, and often, a little bit indulgent. But these high-protein breakfast biscuits? They’re all that and more, without the guilt. With a perfect balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, they’ll leave you feeling full and energized, rather than sluggish.
And the best part? You can make a batch ahead of time, so breakfast is ready to go on those crazy mornings when you just can’t spare a minute. Toss one or two in your bag, and you’re good to go!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (for added fiber)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (hello, protein!)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (yes, it’s the secret to extra fluffiness)
- 2 eggs (packed with protein and healthy fats)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, but so tasty!)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1-2 tbsp honey (for a touch of sweetness)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, your choice)
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Add the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter, honey, and milk. You should have a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Combine the wet and dry: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. You don’t want to overwork the dough – that’s the secret to tender biscuits.
- Shape the biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it down to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter (or even a drinking glass) to cut out your biscuits.
- Bake: Place your biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy: Let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Then grab one, spread a little butter or jam if you’re feeling extra, and enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
- Make it your own: These biscuits are versatile, so feel free to mix in herbs like chives or parsley for a burst of flavor. If you love a little extra kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer, and they’ll last up to a month.
- Quick tip: If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can substitute it with regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein!
Personal Anecdote about high protein breakfast biscuits picture:
I’ve been baking these biscuits for years, and they’ve become a staple in my kitchen. In fact, I made them for a family brunch last month, and my nieces kept asking for “more protein biscuits, please!” It’s always a win when healthy food can get the kids to ask for seconds.
FAQs:
- Can I substitute the flour for gluten-free options? Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free flour blend, but be aware that the texture might change a bit. I recommend adding a tablespoon of extra protein powder if you do that to maintain the nutritional balance.
- Can I add cheese? Oh, for sure! A handful of shredded cheddar or Parmesan would take these biscuits to the next level. Just make sure it’s cheese you love!
