How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Baking Sheet
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this keeps the biscuits from sticking, and makes cleanup a breeze. While the oven heats up, gather all your ingredients so you’re ready to roll.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is crucial for distributing the leavening agents evenly, ensuring each Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious comes out tender and light.
Step 3: Work in the Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Those little pockets of butter are what create the irresistible flakiness that makes these biscuits truly perfect.
Step 4: Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt, milk, and honey until everything just comes together. Don’t overmix—the dough should look shaggy but cohesive. This is where all the magic (and moisture) happens for your Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious.
Step 5: Shape and Cut the Dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently three or four times—just enough to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick round, then use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut out your biscuits. Gather any scraps, gently press them out, and cut more rounds until you’ve used up the dough.
Step 6: Finish and Bake
Arrange your biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a bit apart for perfectly crisp edges. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them that irresistible golden sheen. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the biscuits are sky-high and deeply golden—Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious, indeed!

Garnishes
For an extra-special touch, brush the warm biscuits with a bit more honey or a pat of butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Side Dishes
Pair your protein biscuits with scrambled eggs, a bright fruit salad, or a couple slices of avocado for a breakfast that’s as balanced as it is beautiful. They’re also fantastic alongside a hot cup of coffee or a smoothie for busy mornings.

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow have a few biscuits left, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Their texture stays delightful, and they make an easy grab-and-go snack.
Freezing
For longer storage, Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious freeze beautifully! Arrange cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep well for up to three months—perfect for prepping in advance.
Reheating
To revive that fresh-from-the-oven magic, pop frozen or refrigerated biscuits in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes, or until warmed through. Microwaving works in a pinch, but the oven is your best friend for keeping the biscuits crisp on the outside and soft inside.
FAQs
Can I use a different type Breakfast, Snack

Can I add cheese or herbs?

Is there a dairy-free version?
Absolutely—swap Greek yogurt for a thick, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt and use your favorite plant-based milk. Try vegan butter for the fat, but keep in mind that the texture will be a bit different.
How do I make the biscuits even fluffier?
The key is to use very cold butter and avoid overworking the dough. Cutting straight down with your biscuit cutter (without twisting) helps your Breakfast Protein Biscuits : Perfectly Delicious rise as high as possible!
