Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Whole wheat flour | 2 cups |
| Baking powder | 2 tsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat) | 1 cup |
| Eggs | 2 large |
| Shredded cheddar or mozzarella | 1/2 cup |
| Turkey sausage or cooked turkey bacon | 1/2 cup, chopped |
| Olive oil or melted butter | 2 tbsp |

Choosing the Best Ingredients
Flour: Whole wheat adds fiber and protein, but all-purpose keeps it light. For low-carb, almond flour works well.
Protein: Lean turkey sausage or eggs add flavor without excess fat. Vegetarian? Swap with plant-based crumbles.
Cheese: Cheddar gives rich flavor and stretch; mozzarella melts smoother for a mild bite.
Pro Tips & Swaps
- Low-carb: Use almond flour and skip cheese.
- Gluten-free: Swap in a 1:1 GF baking blend.
- Dairy-light: Use coconut yogurt or skip cheese entirely.
- Vegetarian: Add spinach or mushrooms instead of sausage.
Pair these biscuits with a sweet sip like the Strawberry Matcha Latte or a tangy Whipped Pink Lemonade for the perfect morning combo.
How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, yogurt, and olive oil until smooth.
- Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in cheese and cooked turkey sausage (or mix-ins of choice).
- Drop 1/4-cup portions of dough onto the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crisp around the edges.
- Cool 5 minutes before serving — they’ll firm up as they rest!
Pro Tips for Texture
- Use a hot oven and preheated sheet for maximum crispiness.
- Don’t overmix the dough — that keeps the biscuits fluffy.
- For air fryer: bake at 375°F for 8–10 minutes until golden.
- Let cool on a rack to avoid soggy bottoms.
Variations
- Extra spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne.
- Extra cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top before baking.
- Low-carb: Use almond flour and skip sausage.
- Veggie-loaded: Fold in spinach, bell pepper, or zucchini.
- Kid-friendly: Mini versions using a mini muffin tin.
