Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Optional Add-Ins (choose 1–2)
- Cooked turkey sausage or bacon crumbles
- Chopped spinach or kale
- Green onions or red bell peppers
- Jalapeños for heat
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond or oat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until evenly blended.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth, then add Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, olive oil or melted butter, and shredded cheese, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold to mix. Stir in any chosen optional add-ins such as cooked turkey sausage or vegetables.
- Portion Batter: Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are fully set.
- Cool and Store: Allow the biscuits to cool completely before removing them from the tin. Store in an airtight container or freeze individually for later use.
Notes
- To Freeze: Wrap each cooled biscuit individually or place in a freezer-safe bag for easy storage.
- Reheat from Frozen: Microwave for 45–60 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 10–12 minutes.
- Store in Fridge: Keep biscuits in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Try flavor combinations like Classic (cheddar, bacon, green onion), Veggie Boost (spinach, feta, garlic), or Southwest (cheddar, turkey sausage, jalapeños) for variety.
- For leafy greens like spinach, it’s best to sauté lightly before adding to reduce moisture and improve texture.
