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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
