Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly blended.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the almond milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough starts to form.
- Now it’s time to add those fresh flavors! Fold in the chopped herbs and grated cheese, if you’re using it, until everything is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening each scoop slightly to create biscuit shapes.
- Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits turn a lovely golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor!
Notes or Tips
For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough. If you have any dietary preferences or restrictions, feel free to substitute the almond flour with another gluten-free flour, or use a plant-based protein powder for a vegan version without the eggs.
Cooking Techniques
These biscuits can easily be customized! Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary to find your favorite flavor combination. Also, if you prefer your biscuits to be on the softer side, skip flattening them too much before baking. Each variation will bring its own delightful twist!
FAQ
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Absolutely! They store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes! Once cooled, you can freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for about 3 months. Just reheat directly from frozen in the oven for a quick breakfast.
