Description
Deliciously healthy breakfast protein biscuits infused with savory herbs and sautéed mushrooms, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for added fiber)
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 3/4 cup milk (whole or plant-based)
- 2 large eggs (or flaxseed/chia mixture for vegan)
- 1 cup sautéed mushrooms (or cooked spinach/roasted red peppers)
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (chives, rosemary, or thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk and eggs. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sautéed mushrooms and herbs.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Using cold butter is crucial for flaky texture. Avoid over-mixing the dough for tender biscuits.
