High Protein Biscuit Recipe

Start your day energized with this quick and easy High Protein Biscuit Recipe that blends wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour, whey protein, and Greek yogurt for moist, fluffy, and delicious biscuits.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt, and any optional spices. Whisk together to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices for a consistent rise.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, melted coconut oil or butter, and honey until smooth. The mixture should be creamy but pourable.
  4. Form the Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and tender.
  5. Shape and Bake: Using a spoon or your hands, form small rounds of dough on the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each to allow for expansion. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This resting time helps them set and enhances flavor.

Notes

  • Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling or using a kitchen scale to avoid dense biscuits.
  • Mix just until combined to prevent tough biscuits caused by gluten development.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and improved texture.
  • Choose unflavored or mild vanilla whey protein powder for the best taste.
  • Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before baking to improve hydration and rise.
