Power-Up Your Morning with Protein-Packed Breakfast Biscuits
Learn how to make delicious Breakfast Protein Biscuits. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (feel free to use almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures your biscuits bake evenly and don’t stick.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. This step is crucial as it evenly distributes the leavening agent.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. This was a technique I learned standing on that stool in my grandmother’s kitchen—it’s the secret to flaky biscuits.
- Pour in the milk and honey, if using, and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, pat them out, and cut again until all the dough is used.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top. The smell at this point is irresistible—a reminder of why I love baking so much.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These biscuits are best enjoyed warm.

Tips for Making the Best Breakfast Protein Biscuits
One key to making the best biscuits is to ensure your butter is very cold. This helps create those lovely flaky layers. If you’re in a hurry, you can even freeze the butter for a bit before adding it to the flour. Another tip is to handle the dough as little as possible—overworking it can lead to tough biscuits. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way in my early baking days!
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These Breakfast Protein Biscuits are incredibly versatile. For a sweet treat, top them with a spoonful of homemade jam or a drizzle of honey. If you’re in the mood for savory, pile on some scrambled eggs and a slice of cheese for a hearty breakfast sandwich. They’re also fantastic alongside a steaming bowl of soup or stew, perfect for those chilly mornings when you need a little extra warmth.
Storage and Reheating Tips
If you have any leftovers (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze the biscuits for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. This brings back their fresh-from-the-oven taste and texture, making them just as delightful as the day they were baked.
