• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, for savory flavor)
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
• ¼ cup milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
• ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
• 2 large eggs

For the Protein Filling:

• ¾ cup shredded cooked chicken or beef sausage, crumbled
• ½ cup shredded low-fat cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well)
• ¼ cup cooked spinach (squeezed dry and chopped)
• ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed meal
• ¼ cup finely diced bell peppers or mushrooms

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowls
• Whisk and spatula
• Biscuit cutter or round glass
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Cooling rack

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5: Fold in the Protein Fillings
Gently fold in the shredded meat, cheese, spinach, and green onions. If using optional add-ins like chia seeds or vegetables, mix them in now.

Step 6: Shape the Biscuits
Lightly flour your hands or a surface and scoop out ¼ cup portions of dough. Gently shape into biscuit rounds, about 1-inch thick.

Step 7: Bake
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8: Cool and Serve
Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. They’re delicious warm, especially with a dab of Greek yogurt or avocado on top.

Tips for Perfect Protein Biscuits
Don’t Overmix – Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep biscuits tender.
Add Moisture – If the dough is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
Prep Ahead – Make the dough the night before and refrigerate, then bake fresh in the morning.
Freeze for Later – These freeze beautifully. Just reheat in the oven or toaster for a quick breakfast.

Serving Suggestions
Avocado Slices – Creamy and rich, a perfect match.
Fresh Fruit – Serve with berries or sliced apple for a balanced plate.
Smoothie – Pair with a protein-packed smoothie for even more fuel.
Hot Sauce – Add a spicy kick if you like heat.
