how to make Breakfast Protein Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 1 + ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 2 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups spinach, chopped
- ½ cup chives, finely diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This prevents the biscuits from sticking and makes cleanup easier. A preheated oven ensures even cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt. This helps distribute flavors evenly.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well to avoid lumps.
- Add the spinach, chives, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and the diced ham. Mix until everything is combined. You may use your hands, which helps ensure an even mix.
- Lightly flour your hands, divide the dough into 12 even-sized round biscuit shapes (about ⅓ cup of batter each).
- Place the biscuits on the baking tray. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top to add flavor.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 20 minutes. Do not open the oven in between. The biscuits are done when the bottom is golden brown and the tops are just beginning to brown.

FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour. It may change the texture slightly, but it will add extra fiber.
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make them and store them in the fridge or freezer. Just reheat when you’re ready to eat.
Are these biscuits gluten-free?
To make them gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that you like. Adjust the liquid as necessary to get the right consistency.
