  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder (unflavored or lightly sweetened)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cold butter or coconut oil
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk

Optional Add-ins

  • Chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme, chives)
  • Grated cheddar or parmesan cheese
  • Seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cut in Butter or Oil: Add cold butter or coconut oil to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the Greek yogurt and gradually add milk while mixing just until a soft but non-sticky dough forms.
  5. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness, and cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Place the biscuits on the prepared tray and bake for 12–15 minutes until they puff up and develop a golden top.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to allow the texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Chill the butter to create flakier, layered biscuits that are tender inside.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough, dense biscuits.
  • Use unflavored or lightly sweetened whey protein powder to keep flavor neutral.
  • Greek yogurt adds moisture and boosts protein content.
  • Adjust milk quantity as needed if the dough feels dry for a softer biscuit.
