# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein isolate, 1/2 cup oat flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. This forms the high-protein dry blend for your High Protein Breakfast Biscuits for Meal Prep.
02 -
Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) very cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Avoid overworking the butter with your hands to keep it cold.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup buttermilk and 1 large egg. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork or spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough for your High Protein Breakfast Biscuits for Meal Prep.
04 -
Gently fold in 1 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup sliced green onions. Mix just enough to distribute these savory breakfast boosters evenly throughout the dough. Overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
05 -
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 12 biscuits, re-rolling scraps as needed. Place the cut biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
06 -
Bake the High Protein Breakfast Biscuits for Meal Prep in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Notes:
01 -
For meal prep, store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven.
02 -
Using very cold butter is crucial for flaky biscuits. The butter creates steam pockets as it melts in the oven, resulting in a light and airy texture.
03 -
Feel free to customize! Substitute turkey sausage with cooked bacon bits or diced ham, and try different cheeses like Monterey Jack or a spicy pepper jack.
04 -
These savory biscuits are delicious on their own, or split and served with a fried egg, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
