Let’s Make it Together
Gather Your Tools
Before we dive into mixing ingredients, gather all necessary tools: mixing bowls, measuring cups, a whisk, a spatula, and baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, the anticipation builds—you’ll soon have heavenly biscuits filling your kitchen.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined. This creates a flavorful base for your biscuits.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, blend together eggs, honey or maple syrup, and applesauce until smooth. The blend should be creamy—trust me; your future self will thank you for this step!
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Use a spatula to fold everything together until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep those beloved fluffy textures intact.
Shape & Bake
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets. Shape them into biscuit forms if desired—the less perfect they look, the more homemade charm they have! Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and fragrant; you want that irresistible aroma filling your home!
Cool & Enjoy
Once baked to perfection, allow them to cool slightly before devouring! They can be enjoyed alone or slathered with nut butter or jam—a true breakfast delight!
Your journey into the world of high protein breakfast biscuits has been both fulfilling and delicious! Enjoy every bite guilt-free as they provide nourishment alongside amazing flavors—your mornings will never be the same again!
Content
Tip: Use whole grains for added fiber and nutrients. Whole grain options like oats boost the health benefits of your biscuits. I once swapped white flour for whole wheat, and my family never noticed the difference—it was a win!
Tip: Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for flavor. A sprinkle of cinnamon elevates the taste while adding warmth. I remember making these biscuits one chilly morning, and the smell brought everyone to the kitchen!
Tip: Experiment with different nuts or seeds for texture. Chopped almonds or chia seeds add crunch to your biscuits. My son loves helping me choose mix-ins, and it turns into a fun family activity!
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, mix dry ingredients first, then combine with wet ingredients for optimal blending. Bake until golden brown for about 15-20 minutes for perfectly chewy biscuits.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to customize by adding dried fruits like cranberries or chocolate chips. You can also substitute almond milk for regular milk if you prefer a dairy-free option. Discovering new flavors can make each batch exciting!
Storing & Reheating
Store leftover high protein breakfast biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a ziplock bag and reheat them in the microwave when needed.
Chef's Helpful Tips
- To achieve perfectly baked biscuits, weigh your flour instead of using measuring cups
- Always let the dough rest before baking to enhance its texture
- Don’t overmix; gentle folding keeps them light and fluffy!
