Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Whey Protein Powder (unflavored or mild)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or Coconut Oil (cold)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy removal of the biscuits.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt to distribute the leavening agents and protein powder evenly for the best texture.
  3. Cut in Butter or Coconut Oil: Add cold butter or coconut oil to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the fat until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, creating flaky biscuit layers.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with Greek yogurt and honey or maple syrup until smooth. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick square or circle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuit shapes, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the biscuits to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving to let them set and avoid crumbling.

Notes

  • Use Cold Fat: Keep butter or coconut oil cold to ensure flaky biscuit layers.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix dough just enough to combine ingredients and keep biscuits tender.
  • Fresh Leavening: Use fresh baking powder for maximum rise and fluffiness.
  • Pat Dough Gently: Handle the dough lightly when shaping to maintain a light texture.
  • Protein Powder Tip: Opt for unflavored or mild whey protein to avoid any aftertaste.
