4.3 from 7 reviews

Flaky, cheesy, and protein-packed biscuits made with Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, and a gluten-free blend of flours including garbanzo-fava for a naturally high-protein and hearty bite. These biscuits are perfect for meal prep, quick breakfasts, or a protein-packed snack with 19g of protein per serving and no protein powder needed.

  • Total Time: 34 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 biscuits

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (312 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons ground chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt (330 grams)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground chia seeds, and salt. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped fresh spinach, chopped chives, and all but ¼ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Shape Biscuits: Using a scoop or spoon, portion about ¼ cup of dough per biscuit. Roll each portion into a ball, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly flatten each biscuit. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top of each biscuit.
  6. Bake: Bake the biscuits at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the biscuits turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these warm biscuits fresh from the oven, ideally paired with fruit or a smoothie for a balanced and nutritious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that contains xanthan gum or another binder to help with texture.
  • The ground chia seeds add extra protein and fiber, but can be substituted with flaxseeds if preferred.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits flaky.
  • These biscuits freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat in the oven before serving.
  • The recipe yields 6-8 biscuits depending on size.
