Step-by-Step Overview

Making these 3-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Protein Biscuits is a breeze. First, you’ll preheat your oven and prepare a baking sheet. Then, mix the self-rising flour with Greek yogurt to create a shaggy dough. After a quick knead, cut out your biscuits and brush them with melted butter before baking them to golden perfection. In less than 15 minutes of baking, you’ll have delightful, fluffy biscuits ready to be enjoyed warm!

What You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need for these nutritious biscuits:

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1.5 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 pinch salt (optional)

If you’re out of self-rising flour, you can easily make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt!

Directions to Follow

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until you have a shaggy dough.
3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times until it’s nice and smooth.
4. Pat the dough to about a 1-inch thickness. Cut out 6 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a round glass.
5. Arrange the biscuits on your prepared baking sheet so they are just touching, then brush the tops with melted butter.
6. Place them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and are well risen.
7. Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These 3-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Protein Biscuits are perfect on their own or paired with accompaniments. Try serving them warm with a slick of butter and a drizzle of honey for a sweet treat. They also work wonderfully alongside eggs for breakfast or as the perfect base for breakfast sandwiches. Looking for a savory touch?

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you find yourself with leftovers (though they might not last long!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To enjoy them warm again, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. You can also microwave them for a quick fix, but be cautious not to overdo it, as they can become chewy.

Helpful Cooking Tips

To make your biscuits even fluffier, avoid over-kneading the dough. Just a few gentle folds will do! If you prefer a richer flavor, brush a little extra melted butter on top before baking. For an added twist, consider folding in herbs or cheese to the dough for a savory variation.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to get creative with these biscuits! Try adding in things like shredded cheese, garlic powder, or even chopped herbs to elevate the flavor. For a sweet spin, mix in chocolate chips or dried fruit like cranberries or apricots. You can also create mini breakfast sandwiches by slicing them in half and adding your favorite fillings.
