Protein Biscuits
Description
The Protein Biscuits recipe uses a combination of almond flour, coconut flour, and pea protein powder to build a low-carb, protein-rich dough without traditional wheat flour. Wet ingredients include cottage cheese, eggs, and shredded cheddar, which contribute moisture, richness, and binding. The dough is formed into individual biscuit portions and baked until golden and cooked through.
These biscuits have a slightly dense but tender crumb with cheesy undertones and a mild nutty flavor from the almond flour. The pea protein powder adds extra protein, making them suitable for those focused on higher protein intake. Baking them at a moderate temperature produces a golden top without drying out the centers.
They work well as a quick source of protein for breakfasts or snacks, particularly when paired with eggs or soups. The recipe yields eight biscuits around 50g each with about 8 grams of protein per biscuit. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated and warmed gently before eating. They also freeze well for future use.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour 75g
- ¼ cup coconut flour 30g
- 2 tablespoons pea protein powder 16g (or use egg white protein)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ⅔ cup cottage cheese 140g, I used 6.5% fat, full fat
- 2 egg large
- 1 cup cheese 113g, I used a medium cheddar, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 / 400F (electric) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the cottage cheese, eggs and shredded cheese into a food processor and blend until smooth. Or, use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer.
- Add the dry ingredients and process until just mixed and a sticky dough forms.
- Spoon the dough into 8 heaps (around 50g each). Shape around the bottom if necessary, but do not compact the top. Leave a little space between them as the batter will spread.
- Bake 13 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the top and cooked through in the center. Best served warm.
Notes
- Each biscuit contains approximately 8g protein and 2.8g net carbs.
- Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
- They freeze well; reheat gently in oven, microwave, or toaster before serving.
- Pea protein powder can be substituted with egg white protein if preferred.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese and medium cheddar for best texture and flavor.
