High Protein Cheddar Broccoli Biscuits

Cheddar Broccoli Biscuits

These biscuits are sooo freaking good. They're packed with flavor, and protein (duh, that's why we're all here). They're perfect as a meal side, breakfast biscuit, or post workout snack. Greek yogurt and casein boost the protein without drying them out, and the cheddar and sautéed onions and broccoli make them taste like a comfort food classic. They bake up tender and soft on the inside with lightly crisp edges.
