  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 biscuits

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 scoop of protein powder (preferably unflavored or savory)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shredded cheese to the dry mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Pat into a 1-inch thick slab. Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out biscuits of your preferred size. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is not overmixed to keep biscuits fluffy.
  • You can customize the flavor by adding herbs, spices, or chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
  • Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or freeze up to 3 months.
