Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- Protein Powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen) – 1 cup
- Whole Wheat Flour – 1 ½ cups (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free option)
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons
- Optional Ground Flaxseed or Chia Seeds – 1-2 tablespoons
Wet Ingredients
- Eggs – 2 large (or flax/chia eggs for vegan)
- Greek Yogurt – ½ cup (or plant-based yogurt for vegan)
- Melted Butter or Coconut Oil – ¼ cup
- Natural Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar) – 2 tablespoons
Optional Mix-ins
- Chopped Nuts – ¼ cup
- Fresh or Dried Berries – ¼ cup
- Seeds (chia, flax, or others) – 1-2 tablespoons
- Shredded Cheese, Chopped Herbs, or Cooked Bacon for savory variations as desired
- Dark Chocolate Chips – ¼ cup for sweet boost
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the protein powder, whole wheat flour (or gluten-free alternative), baking powder, and optional ground flaxseed or chia seeds until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs (or flax/chia eggs), then add Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt), melted butter or coconut oil, and your chosen natural sweetener, combining until smooth.
- Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently to combine, being careful not to overmix, which can toughen the biscuits.
- Add Mix-ins and Shape the Biscuits: Fold in any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts, berries, seeds, cheese, or bacon. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, shaping them into rounds or patties.
- Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving to enjoy the full flavor.
Notes
- Measure ingredients accurately using measuring cups or a kitchen scale for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep biscuits tender and avoid dense or rubbery texture.
- Adjust wet ingredient quantities depending on the type of protein powder used as absorption rates vary.
- Use room temperature eggs and dairy for smooth mixing and better rising.
- Keep an eye on baking time to prevent drying out the biscuits; start checking a few minutes early.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat refrigerated or frozen biscuits in a toaster oven or microwave until warm to restore flaky texture.
