Breakfast Protein Biscuits

Breakfast protein biscuits came into my life when I was looking for a way to make my mornings feel a little more satisfying without making a full meal and I still remember the first time I made them on a cold morning when I wanted something warm and filling that wasn’t a shake or a bar. I used some cottage cheese and a scoop of protein powder in my usual biscuit dough and the result was fluffy flavorful and surprisingly hearty.

Now I make these biscuits in batches on Sundays and freeze them so I always have a quick high-protein option ready to go they’ve become my favorite grab-and-go breakfast with just the right mix of comfort and fuel to power through the day.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always make substitutions if you prefer!
• All-purpose flour – Creates the base structure and helps the biscuits rise.
• Protein powder – Adds extra protein without affecting the texture too much.
• Cottage cheese – Keeps the biscuits moist and adds richness.
• Eggs – Help bind the dough and contribute to the protein content.
• Baking powder – Provides lift for that soft fluffy texture.
• Salt – Balances the flavors and enhances the taste.
• Greek yogurt – Adds tang and extra protein while softening the dough.
• Butter – Brings in a buttery flavor and tender crumb.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl – To combine all the ingredients evenly.
• Fork or whisk – Helps beat the eggs and mix the dough until it comes together.
• Biscuit cutter – For shaping uniform biscuits.
• Baking sheet – Holds the biscuits while they bake to golden perfection.
• Parchment paper – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• Pastry brush – Useful for brushing the tops with butter or egg wash before baking.

Instructions

Step 1:

I start by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining my baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2:

In a large mixing bowl I whisk together the flour protein powder baking powder and salt to get an even dry mix.

Step 3:

Then I add in the Greek yogurt cottage cheese and eggs and mix until a soft dough forms—it should be slightly sticky but not too wet.

Step 4:

I turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round using my hands rather than a rolling pin.

Step 5:

Using a biscuit cutter I cut out rounds and place them spaced slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6:

I brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish and bake them for about 14 to 16 minutes or until the tops are nicely browned and the centers are set.

Step 7:

Once they’re out of the oven I let them cool for a few minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Tips

If I want to add more flavor I sometimes mix in shredded cheese herbs or even cooked turkey bacon. You can also use different protein powders—just make sure it’s unflavored or vanilla to avoid a weird aftertaste. And if the dough feels too dry I add a tablespoon or two of milk until it holds together better.
