How to Make High Protein Breakfast Biscuits with Almond Flour
1. Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Keep your butter cold, it’s key for flakiness.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This forms the dry base for your high protein breakfast biscuits with almond flour.
3. Cut in Butter
Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fingers to work it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. This gives your biscuits that perfect tender bite.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and sweetener (if using). Stir until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures
Gently fold wet into dry. Don’t overmix, it will toughen the dough. Stop once everything is just incorporated. The dough should be soft and a bit sticky.
6. Shape Biscuits
Scoop or form into 6–8 even rounds and place on your prepared sheet, leaving space between each.
7. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the tops are golden and firm to the touch. A toothpick should come out clean.
8. Cool & Enjoy
Let them cool for 5 minutes to set. These high protein breakfast biscuits with almond flour are best served warm, but still delicious later.
Serving and Storage Tips
Pair these biscuits with a fried egg, avocado, or a smear of nut butter. They also go great with sugar-free jam and a cup of hot coffee.
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop them in the toaster oven or microwave. You can also freeze them individually and thaw overnight.
Helpful Notes
– Swap butter for coconut oil and yogurt for dairy-free options
– Add sweet mix-ins like blueberries or sugar-free chocolate chips
– For a savory spin, mix in shredded cheddar or fresh herbs
– Rest the dough for 5–10 minutes if it’s too sticky to handle
