Protein Biscuits

These Protein Biscuits blend almond and coconut flour with pea protein powder, combined with cottage cheese, eggs, and cheddar cheese to produce a moist, cheesy biscuit. Baking creates a golden exterior with a tender center that is rich in protein and low in carbs. Ideal as a snack or a protein-enriched addition to breakfast or lunch.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 / 400F (electric) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the dry ingredients and process until just mixed and a sticky dough forms.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
