Breakfast Protein Biscuits (Print Version)

Fluffy biscuits packed with 14g protein per serving. Choose ham & cheese or Mediterranean sausage variations—ideal for meal prep and freezer storage.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
02 - 4 large eggs, room temperature

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - 2½ cups all-purpose flour
04 - ¼ cup ground flaxseed
05 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
06 - 2 teaspoons salt
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Ham & Cheese Mix-Ins

09 - 1½ cups cheddar cheese, grated (reserve ½ cup for topping)
10 - 2 cups diced ham
11 - 1½ cups spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
12 - ½ cup chives, chopped

→ Mediterranean Sausage Mix-Ins

13 - 1½ cups crumbled cooked turkey or chicken sausage
14 - 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (reserve ⅓ cup for topping)
15 - 1½ cups spinach, wilted and squeezed dry
16 - ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
17 - ½ cup chives or green onions, chopped

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
03 - Add flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir until just combined; do not overmix—some lumps are fine.
04 - Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (Ham & Cheese or Mediterranean Sausage) using a spatula in cutting motions to keep the dough light.
05 - Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing biscuits 2 inches apart, or fill muffin tin wells nearly to the top.
06 - Sprinkle reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit.
07 - Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
08 - Cool for 10 minutes before serving or storing.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Fourteen grams of protein per biscuit means you stay satisfied until lunch without feeling heavy
  • Freezing them beforehand changed my entire morning routine, now I just grab and reheat
02 -
  • Overmixing the dough creates tough biscuits that resemble hockey pucks more than breakfast food
  • Squeezing every drop of liquid from the spinach is non-negotiable for the right texture
03 -
  • Letting the dough rest for five minutes before scooping helps the flour hydrate evenly
  • Using a muffin tin creates taller biscuits with crispy edges that some people actually prefer
