Description
When mornings call for something quick, savory, and packed with energy, these Breakfast Protein Biscuits are the ultimate answer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups almond flour (or oat flour for more carbs)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix wet ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until combined.
Step 3: Add dry ingredients
Add almond flour, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Fold in cheese and herbs
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar and chopped herbs until evenly distributed.
Step 5: Scoop biscuits
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop biscuit-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Step 7: Brush with butter and serve
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter for a rich finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
-
Don’t overmix the batter to keep biscuits tender.
-
Use fresh almond flour for best texture and flavor.
-
Sharp cheddar adds flavor intensity, but you can experiment with mozzarella or pepper jack.
