Ingredients You’ll Need

The beauty of these Breakfast Protein Biscuits lies in their simplicity. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to give you a biscuit that’s tender, flavorful, and filling — no need for complicated or hard-to-find items!

Almond flour: Delivers a nutty flavor and moist crumb while keeping the biscuits gluten-free and low carb.
Unflavored or savory protein powder: Boosts the protein content without overpowering the natural biscuit flavor—choose a high-quality, mild option for best results.
Baking powder: Gives the biscuits their lovely lift and light texture.
Garlic powder: Adds a gentle, savory warmth that complements the other flavors beautifully.
Salt: Enhances all the other flavors—don’t skip this crucial seasoning!
Cold butter: The secret to flaky, tender layers; make sure it’s chilled and cut into small cubes.
Large eggs: Bind everything together and add moisture plus even more protein.
Plain Greek yogurt: Keeps the biscuits ultra-soft and ensures a rich taste, all while adding extra protein.
Chopped chives or parsley (optional): For a pop of color and fresh, herby flavor—totally customizable based on your mood.
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional): Melts into delightful pockets inside the biscuit, making them even more irresistible.

How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup — no sticking, no fuss. Giving yourself this head start makes shaping and baking the biscuits a breeze.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. This helps ensure that all the leavening and seasonings are perfectly dispersed, so every bite of your Breakfast Protein Biscuits is flavorful and fluffy.

Step 3: Cut in the Cold Butter

Next, add the cold, cubed butter to your dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or a fork to cut the butter into the flour blend until you have a mixture resembling coarse crumbs. This step is essential for creating that classic biscuit texture — the little bits of butter melt as they bake, creating tender, flaky layers.

Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth. This combo adds richness and moisture, giving your biscuits both structure and that perfect softness.

Step 5: Bring the Batter Together

Pour the egg and yogurt mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until the dough just comes together; avoid overmixing, which can make the biscuits tough. If you’re feeling fancy, now’s the time to fold in those chopped herbs and shredded cheese for extra flavor.

Step 6: Shape and Bake

Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough into 6–8 mounds on your prepared baking sheet. Space them out a bit, as they do spread slightly. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let your Breakfast Protein Biscuits cool slightly before diving in.

How to Serve Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Garnishes

Add a sprinkle of extra chopped chives or parsley on top for a burst of fresh color, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for a bit of extra flavor. If you included cheese inside, let a little melt on top for a gooey finish — it’s the small touches that make these biscuits feel truly special.

Side Dishes

Breakfast Protein Biscuits are fabulous on their own, but they also pair perfectly with classics like crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, or sliced avocado. For a lighter option, serve with a fresh fruit salad or a simple green side for a balanced meal.

Creative Ways to Present

Try splitting a biscuit and filling it with a fried egg, turkey sausage, or your favorite breakfast sandwich fixings for the ultimate morning treat. Or, cut them into smaller rounds and offer on a platter as a grab-and-go protein snack at brunch gatherings — they always disappear fast!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

To keep your leftover Breakfast Protein Biscuits just as delicious as fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay moist and tender for up to four days, perfect for prepping breakfasts for the week ahead.

Freezing

These biscuits freeze beautifully! Once completely cooled, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to two months — simply thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a few hours whenever a craving strikes.

Reheating

The easiest way to bring your Breakfast Protein Biscuits back to life is by reheating them in a toaster oven or conventional oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. This helps re-crisp the exterior while keeping the inside soft and warm, as if they were freshly baked.

FAQs

Can I use a different flour instead of almond flour?

While almond flour gives these biscuits their lovely moist texture and keeps them gluten-free, you can experiment with other nut flours. Coconut flour isn’t recommended as it absorbs much more moisture and will alter the final result.

What kind of protein powder works best for Breakfast Protein Biscuits?

Opt for an unflavored or savory protein powder, such as a plain whey, pea, or egg white protein. Avoid sweetened or flavored varieties, as those can impact the biscuit flavor and make them taste odd.

Are there dairy-free options for the Greek yogurt and cheese?

Absolutely! Use a plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt substitute and your favorite dairy-free shredded cheese to keep these biscuits both high in protein and dairy-free.

How can I make the biscuits fluffier?

Make sure your baking powder is fresh and be gentle when combining your wet and dry ingredients. Keeping the butter nice and cold is another key to fluffy, tender Breakfast Protein Biscuits!

Do these work as meal prep?

Definitely! Bake a batch at the start of the week and store them in the fridge or freezer. That way, you’ll have a protein-packed, grab-and-go breakfast option whenever you need it.

Final Thoughts

It’s impossible not to fall in love with these Breakfast Protein Biscuits — they’re nourishing, flavorful, and so easy to make. Treat yourself (and your loved ones) to a batch and watch how quickly they disappear from the table. Your mornings just got a whole lot tastier!
