These high protein breakfast biscuits make for a quick and easy grab and go breakfast option, perfect for meal prep and packed with protein. Gluten free and easy to customize with whatever meat, veggies and cheese you like!
I am always looking for high protein breakfast options, especially those that are easy to meal prep and can act as a grab and go option on early mornings. Often times our high protein breakfasts look like eggs, some sort of meat and vegetables. While that isn’t super time consuming or complicated, it’s nice to have an option on hand that requires no prep.
These high protein breakfast biscuits came out of my desire to fill in a gap in my meal prep. Filled with oats, ground flax, meat, vegetables and cheese, not only are these filling but also delicious and nutritious. They have become a meal prep staple in our home, and there is no shortage of combinations of meat, vegetables and cheese you can use to change them up.
Ingredients
Greek Yogurt. I use greek yogurt in the dough of these biscuits to help increase the protein content.
Eggs. Eggs help to bind the dough and increase protein while adding healthy fats.
Oat Flour. I use oat flour to keep these gluten free. Easy to make at home, simply grind rolled oats in a high speed blender until a fine flour forms.
Ground Flaxseed. Flaxseed helps to bind the biscuits, and increases the fibre content.
Spices. Add a ton of flavor to these biscuits with garlic powder, chili flakes, or whatever spices and herbs you prefer. These are also great with some smoked paprika.
Baking Powder. Crucial to give these biscuits rise.
Vegetables. I like to pack plenty of vegetables in to increase the fibre content and nutrition, and make these more of a complete meal.
Cheese. Cheese adds protein, healthy fats, and plenty of flavor to these high protein biscuits.
Meat. Use whatever meat you like! Bacon, ham, or breakfast sausage are some favorites of ours.
Variations
Use whatever you have on hand! I’ve made these protein biscuits countless ways and they always turn out great. Substitute whatever meat, cheese, and vegetables you’d like. Below are some of our favorites.
Ham, broccoli and cheddar cheese.
Sausage, peppers and cheddar cheese.
Bacon, kale and green onion.
Turkey, spinach and Swiss cheese.
