Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or white whole wheat for extra fiber)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (high protein variety)
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 scoop (about 20–25g) unflavored or savory protein powder (optional, for extra boost)

Optional Add-ins:

• Chopped spinach
• Cooked and crumbled turkey sausage or chicken sausage
• Chopped green onions or chives
• Shredded zucchini (squeeze out moisture first)

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls
• Pastry cutter or fork
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Whisk and spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and protein powder if using.

Step 3: Cut in the Butter
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients.
Use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in shredded cheese and any optional add-ins at this stage.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
The dough should be sticky but manageable—don’t overmix.

Step 5: Shape the Biscuits
Scoop about ¼ cup of dough per biscuit and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
You can also use floured hands to shape them into rounds.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Cool slightly before serving.

Step 7: Serve Warm
Enjoy warm on their own or slice and fill with eggs, avocado, nut butter, or turkey bacon for a full breakfast sandwich.

Tips for Success
Use Cold Butter – It creates a flaky texture as it melts in the oven.
Don’t Overmix – Mix just until combined for tender, fluffy biscuits.
Add Protein Thoughtfully – Use unflavored powder or one that complements savory dishes.
Customize – Switch up the cheese, add herbs, or use leftover veggies.
Make Ahead – These freeze beautifully and reheat well.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes—use a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and check that your protein powder is gluten-free.

Nope! It’s totally optional. Greek yogurt and eggs already provide plenty of protein.

3. Can I make these without cheese?
Yes—just skip it or replace it with a dairy-free alternative if needed.

4. What kind of Greek yogurt is best?
