How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Ingredients:

1¾ cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
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)
1½ cups Spinach, wilted & squeezed dry
½ cup Chives, chopped
1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved)
2 cups Diced Ham
2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled
½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped
1½ cups Feta (½ cup reserved)
2 tsp Dried Basil (or ¼ cup fresh, added after baking)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or grease a muffin tin for easy removal.
In a bowl, mix the wet base by whisking together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl. Stir in the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes until just combined.
Fold in your mix-ins of choice, like ham and cheese or Mediterranean ingredients like spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
Scoop out the dough using ⅓ cup per biscuit. Drop them onto the baking sheet or fill the muffin wells if you’re using a muffin tin.
Top each biscuit with the reserved cheese or feta cheese. Bake the biscuits in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden and firm to the touch.
Allow the biscuits to cool for about 10 minutes before serving or storing them.

How to Serve Breakfast Protein Biscuits

These biscuits are perfect for a quick breakfast on the go or a leisurely brunch. Serve them warm alongside a fresh fruit salad or a smoothie for a complete meal. You can also enjoy them with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

How to Store Breakfast Protein Biscuits

To store the Breakfast Protein Biscuits, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze them. Just wrap each biscuit tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Feel free to experiment with your favorite vegetables and meats to personalize the biscuits.
If you prefer a lighter version, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Adding herbs or spices can enhance the flavor even more; consider fresh basil or oregano for a fresh taste.
