• 4 Large Eggs (room temp)
• 2½ cups All-Purpose Flour
• ¼ cup Ground Flaxseed
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• ½ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

For the Fillings

Option 1:

• 1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
• ½ cup Chives, chopped
• 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved)
• 2 cups Diced chicken ham

Option 2:

• 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled

• 2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or greasing a muffin tin to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix Wet Base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Fold in Your Mix-ins

Gently fold in your choice of mix-ins—either the chicken ham with cheddar cheese or the Mediterranean option with sausage and feta.

Step 5: Scoop Dough

Using a measuring cup (⅓ cup), scoop out the biscuit dough. Place each scoop onto the prepared baking sheet or fill muffin wells if using a muffin tin.

Step 6: Top & Bake

Sprinkle the reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit before placing them in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes until they are golden brown and firm to touch.

Step 7: Cool

Allow the biscuits to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. You can also store them for later enjoyment!

How to Perfect Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Perfecting your Breakfast Protein Biscuits can make all the difference. Here are some tips to enhance your baking experience.

• Use room temperature eggs: Eggs at room temperature blend more easily into the yogurt, creating a smoother batter.

• Don’t overmix: Stir until just combined to keep your biscuits fluffy and tender. Overmixing can lead to dense results.

• Experiment with fillings: Try different combinations like turkey sausage, bell peppers, or even sweet potatoes for variety.

• Cool before storing: Allow biscuits to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps maintain their texture.

• Freeze extras: For longer storage, freeze uncooked dough portions on a baking sheet, then transfer them to bags once frozen for quick breakfasts later.

• Adjust seasonings: Feel free to add spices or herbs according to your taste preferences, enhancing flavor without much effort.
