Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

1 + ¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt
4 eggs
2 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1.5 cups spinach, chopped
½ cup chives, finely diced
1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
2 cups cooked ham, diced

Directions

Let’s get baking with these easy steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mix, stirring until well combined.
Fold in the spinach, chives, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and diced ham. Use your hands if necessary to ensure everything is mixed well.
Lightly flour your hands and shape the mixture into 12 even-sized 1-inch round biscuits.
Arrange the biscuits on the prepared tray and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes. (Don’t peek in the oven during this time!)
Once they are golden brown on the bottom and just begin to brown on top, they’re done!

How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits: A Savory Start to Your Day (Overview)

Making these biscuits is as easy as pie (or should I say biscuits?). You start by mixing your wet and dry ingredients separately to avoid drama. Next, combine everything, shape the biscuits, and place them on a tray. Remember to sprinkle a little extra cheese on top before baking — you’ll thank me later! Pro tip: Don’t shortcut the resting time in the oven; it allows them to puff up perfectly!

How to Serve Breakfast Protein Biscuits: A Savory Start to Your Day

Serve these biscuits warm, perhaps with a dollop of creamy butter or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Picture this: golden brown biscuits with a cheesy crust, a hint of spice from the red pepper flakes, and vibrant green spinach peeking out. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a colorful breakfast that looks as good as it tastes!

Tips to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits: A Savory Start to Your Day

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor — fresh spinach and real cheddar really shine here.
For a dairy-free option, swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative, and use your favorite non-dairy cheese.
Don’t be shy with the herbs; experiment with your favorites for added flavor — basil or parsley could bring a delightful twist!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try adding different proteins like cooked chicken or turkey sausage. For those craving a bit of sweetness, toss in some diced bell peppers or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a “sweet and savory” combo!

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose?

2. How do I know when the biscuits are done baking?
Look for a golden bottom and slightly browned tops — that’s your cue they’re ready!

3. Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just bake when you’re ready for a hot breakfast!
