Breakfast Protein Biscuits

These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are a savory, protein-packed breakfast option that combines Greek yogurt, eggs, and flavorful mix-ins like ham, cheddar, and spinach or Mediterranean sausage and feta. Perfect for busy mornings, they provide 14 grams of protein per biscuit and can be made in under an hour.

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 (for Ham & Cheese Chive variation)
  • ½ cup Chives, chopped (for Ham & Cheese Chive variation)
  • 1½ cups Cheddar Cheese (½ cup reserved, for Ham & Cheese Chive variation)
  • 2 cups Diced Ham (for Ham & Cheese Chive variation)
  • 2 cups Cooked Italian Chicken Sausage, crumbled (for Mediterranean Sausage variation)
  • ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped (for Mediterranean Sausage variation)
  • 1½ cups Feta Cheese (½ cup reserved, for Mediterranean Sausage variation)
  • 2 tsp Dried Basil (for Mediterranean Sausage variation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
  2. Whisk Greek yogurt and eggs in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (spinach, chives, cheddar, ham OR sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, feta, basil).
  6. Scoop the dough into 12 mounds, either using a ⅓-cup measure or an ice cream scoop. Place them on a baking sheet or into muffin tin wells.
  7. Top with reserved cheese and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
  8. Let biscuits cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

  • If you’re using a muffin tin, the biscuits will come out taller. If using a baking sheet, they’ll be more rustic and round.
  • You can freeze unbaked dough scoops on a tray, then bag them. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-8 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add 1 tsp xanthan gum.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with thick coconut yogurt.
