Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional for savory biscuits)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 large egg
Add-ins
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked turkey sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the biscuits don’t stick and bake evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. This ensures the baking powder and seasoning are evenly distributed.
- Cut in butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour mixture until it becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and egg until smooth. This wet mixture will add moisture and tenderness to the biscuits.
- Form the dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Fold in add-ins: Carefully fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked turkey sausage or bacon, and chopped green onions to evenly distribute flavors throughout the dough.
- Shape the biscuits: Scoop or pat the dough into 10 to 12 evenly sized biscuit portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to ensure they hold their shape and are comfortable to eat.
Notes
- Use unflavored protein powder if you prefer a more savory biscuit flavor.
- Store the biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
- You can freeze the baked biscuits for up to 2 months and reheat as needed for a quick breakfast.
- For extra nutrition and flavor, consider adding spinach, diced peppers, or fresh herbs to the dough before baking.
