Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (your choice, whey, casein, or plant-based)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Optional herbs or spices (e.g., chives, parsley, cinnamon, red pepper flakes)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil (cold butter preferred for flakiness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps ensure even baking and a smooth cooking process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and any herbs or spices to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add Greek yogurt and melted butter or coconut oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine and Form Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mix. Using a spatula or hands, fold until a slightly sticky yet manageable dough forms.
  5. Shape Biscuits and Bake: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough a couple of times. Pat or roll the dough to about 1-inch thickness, cut into biscuit-sized rounds, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix to keep the biscuits tender and light.
  • Adjust liquid quantities based on protein powder moisture absorption.
  • Use cold butter for flakier, crumbly texture.
  • Customize biscuit size depending on serving preferences.
  • Watch baking time closely to avoid dryness; start checking at 15 minutes.
