Notes
Secret Tips for the Best Breakfast Protein Biscuits
- Use a High-Protein Flour Blend: Choose a mix of whole wheat flour, almond flour, or protein powder to make your breakfast protein biscuits extra filling while keeping them fluffy. The right flour mix helps balance texture with nutrition.
- Keep Ingredients Cold: For tender and flaky high-protein biscuits, make sure your butter or coconut oil is cold when mixing. Cold fat creates steam pockets that give the biscuits their signature rise and fluffiness.
- Don’t Overmix the Dough: Overworking the dough can make your protein-packed biscuits dense instead of light. Mix until just combined, then gently fold in any extras like cheese, herbs, or seeds.
- Add Extra Protein Boosts: Stir in cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, or shredded cheese for additional protein and flavor. This transforms your bake into a high protein breakfast recipe that’s perfect for busy mornings.
- Bake at High Heat: Start with a hot oven (around 425°F) so your fluffy protein biscuits rise quickly and get that golden-brown crust. The high temperature locks in moisture while giving them a bakery-style finish.
