Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until fully combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and large egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this will help keep your biscuits light and fluffy!
- Using a scoop or a spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for 10-12 biscuits and gently flatten each one slightly with the back of the scoop.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked all the way through.
- Once baked, allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy the delicious aroma!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to get creative! You can add in your favorite herbs or spices to tailor these biscuits to your taste. Chopped green onions or a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a nice kick. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and cheese alternative.
Cooking Techniques
The key to achieving perfectly fluffy biscuits lies in not overmixing the dough. Gentle handling helps maintain the airy texture. If you want to add a touch of sweetness, consider a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top once they’re cooled.
