Step-by-Step Instructions
How Do You Make Protein Biscuits?
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. (A muffin top silicone pan works great.)
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet, cook the ground chicken until fully cooked. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Stir in Greek yogurt and cheese.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add self-rising flour, garlic salt, black pepper, green onion, and cilantro (if using). Stir until combined.
- Fold in Sausage: Mix the cooked sausage into the batter. It will be thick and scoopable.
- Bake: Scoop mixture evenly into the muffin tin. Bake for 16–18 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin.
Pro Tips & Customizations
- Use turkey sausage, pork sausage, or even veggie sausage depending on your dietary needs.
- Mix in chopped spinach or bell peppers for an extra veggie boost.
- For spicier biscuits, add crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
Storage Tips
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
Can I use a different kind of flour?
Self-rising flour gives these biscuits their rise, but you can use all-purpose flour plus 1.5 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Are these freezer-friendly?
Yes! They freeze and reheat well. Great for grab-and-go mornings.
Can I make them dairy-free?
You can try using a dairy-free yogurt and cheese alternative, but the texture may change slightly.
