Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional for savory biscuits)
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 large egg
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked turkey sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it in until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and egg until smooth and well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
- Fold in Additions: Carefully fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked turkey sausage or bacon, and chopped green onions, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Form Biscuits: Using a scoop or your hands, portion the dough into 10–12 equal-sized biscuits and place them spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use unflavored protein powder for a more savory flavor profile.
- Store baked biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze biscuits for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Enhance nutrition and flavor by adding spinach, diced peppers, or your favorite herbs to the dough.
