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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs, yogurt, and olive oil until smooth.
  4. Stir wet mixture into dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in cheese and cooked turkey sausage (or mix-ins of choice).
  6. Drop 1/4-cup portions of dough onto the sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crisp around the edges.
  8. 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.

Perfect Sides

Troubleshooting
