Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
1½ cups almond flour
½ cup unflavored whey protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 large eggs
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for savory boost)
Optional Add-ins:
¼ cup chopped cooked turkey bacon or lean beef sausage
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
¼ tsp garlic powder or onion powder for flavor depth
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add cold butter cubes to the dry mix.
Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
This step helps create that fluffy biscuit texture.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in cheddar cheese, herbs, or cooked meat if using.
Step 5: Shape the Biscuits
Using a spoon or scoop, drop 8-10 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Gently shape into rounds and flatten slightly.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Enjoy fresh out of the oven with eggs, avocado, or your favorite breakfast toppings.
Notes
Use Cold Butter – This is key to getting fluffy, tender biscuits.
Don’t Overmix – Stir until just combined to avoid dense biscuits.
Customize Freely – Add herbs, cheese, or meats to match your taste.
Store Properly – Cool completely before storing to keep texture just right.
