Protein Packed Sweet Biscuits

High Protein Sweet Biscuits

Do you ever crave the biscuit from a strawberry shortcake? No... Just me? Well if you fall into my camp and still want to hit your fitness goals, here's a recipe for you!

These sweet biscuits are soft, flaky, and packed with protein and fiber. Using Greek yogurt and casein protein keeps them tender and filling, while coconut sugar adds just enough sweetness without going overboard. They’re perfect on their own, topped with berries, or split and topped with jam.

Ingredients

• 90g all purpose flour
• 70g oat flour
• 30g casein protein powder
• 20g coconut sugar
• ½ Tbsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 45g cold butter, cubed
• 150g plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or low-fat)
• 1 large egg
• 15 ml skim milk
• 4g vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, casein protein, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Slice the cold butter into cubs, and incorporate to the dry ingredients using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, skim milk, and vanilla extract.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape into biscuits on the baking sheet.
7. Top with a bit of milk and a pinch of coconut sugar for a golden brown crust.
8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
9. Let cool slightly before serving.
