Why These Protein Biscuits Belong in Your Routine
These Protein Biscuits combine classic, buttery biscuit goodness with the staying power of high-quality protein—a rare win-win in the breakfast world. Whether you’re fueling up for a long day or prepping quick grab-and-go meals for the whole family, the fluffy texture and subtle cheesy flavor make them crowd-pleasers.

Secret to High-Protein Biscuits
The magic is in the ingredients: a blend of Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and a scoop of unflavored protein powder seamlessly bumps up the protein without altering the classic biscuit taste or texture. Choosing Greek yogurt not only boosts protein but adds moisture, while cheese offers richness and savory flavor. The whole recipe comes together in one bowl for less overall cleanup.

Get ahead on your meal prep by doubling (or tripling!) this recipe, freezing the biscuits, and reheating when you’re ready. To freeze, simply let the biscuits cool completely, then store in a zip-top bag or airtight container with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Pop them in the microwave or toaster oven straight from the freezer for a quick and nourishing breakfast any morning of the week.

Serve these protein biscuits warm with a pat of butter, a thin slice of ham, or a smear of your favorite nut butter. For a well-rounded breakfast sandwich, split a biscuit in half and fill with scrambled eggs or turkey sausage. Their savory flavor also makes them great as a savory snack on the go.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and protein powder.
- Add the cold butter cubes and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt, cheese, and eggs until mostly combined. Add the milk a little at a time until the dough just comes together—it should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- If using, fold in fresh herbs or garlic powder to the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut out 2.5-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass, reforming scraps as needed.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared sheet and bake for 14–18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving, or cool completely before freezing.
