Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can swap half for whole wheat for nuttiness.
  • 1 cup protein powder Unflavored or mild-flavored; whey, pea, or a neutral plant blend.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup milk Dairy or unsweetened plant milk.
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt For tenderness and protein.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Or cold cubed butter for a flakier texture.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or any good melting cheese.
  • optional garlic powder, onion powder, chopped chives, or dried herbs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, plain Greek yogurt, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Stop when you still see a few streaks of flour.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheese and any optional herbs or spices until distributed.
Baking
  1. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or store as directed.
