Wholesome and nutritious biscuits packed with protein from Greek yogurt and fresh greens, perfect for a wholesome morning boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Plain 2% Greek Yogurt
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (substitute with gluten-free blend if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Flaxseed (chia seeds can be used)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (ensure freshness)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (kosher or sea salt preferred)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder (fresh minced garlic may be substituted)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup Spinach (wilted & squeezed dry)
  • 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped)
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (shredded, substitute with favorite cheese if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the spinach by wilting it in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: whisk together flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: beat together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  5. Fold in wilted spinach, chives, and cheddar cheese to the wet mixture.
  6. Incorporate dry mix gradually into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Shape the biscuits by scooping out portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch.
  9. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For fluffiest biscuits, ensure baking powder is fresh and use room temperature eggs.
