Ingredients
- For the biscuits:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your choice of milk)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- For the topping:
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
How to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your biscuits bake evenly and come out with a lovely golden color.
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. This dry mix forms the biscuit’s base.
- In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, peanut butter, and honey until smooth. Make sure the peanut butter is softened; it helps combine everything better!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; this keeps the biscuits tender.
- Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips if you’re using them. They add delightful texture and flavor!
- Scoop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape each scoop into a biscuit form for that classic look.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until the edges are golden brown. The kitchen will smell incredible by now!
- Let them cool slightly before serving. They will be warm and fluffy, perfect for breakfast!
How to Serve Breakfast Protein Biscuits
- Serve warm with a smear of butter or jam for an extra treat.
- Pair them with a fresh fruit salad or yogurt for added nutrition and flavor.
- Drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup for a sweet touch!
How to Store Breakfast Protein Biscuits
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, keep them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
Tips to Make Breakfast Protein Biscuits
- Use room temperature ingredients for easier mixing.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a splash more almond milk.
- Ensure your protein powder is finely ground to avoid grittiness in the biscuits.
- Experiment with different nut butter or sweeteners for varied flavors.
- Try adding dried fruits for an extra burst of sweetness!
Variation
- Gluten-Free Option: Replace the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Vegan Version: Swap honey for maple syrup and use plant-based milk.
