Fluffy, protein-packed breakfast biscuits perfect for a nutritious start to your day, combining wholesome ingredients and a delicious savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the dough comes together. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chives if using.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with additional cheese before baking.
