Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly, then stir in the Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese), olive oil (or melted butter), and shredded cheese until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture and gently fold in any optional add-ins you prefer.
  5. Step 5: Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Step 7: Allow the biscuits to cool completely before removing from the tin. Store or freeze as desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Try different cheese varieties like feta for a tangy twist or add herbs such as parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cheese with a vegan alternative and use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
  • To keep biscuits moist, avoid overbaking; start checking at 18 minutes.
  • Mix in spicy ingredients like jalapeños for a southwest-inspired flavor or add sautéed mushrooms for earthiness.

Storage

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap each biscuit individually or place several in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat from frozen by microwaving for 45–60 seconds or warming in the oven at 300°F for 10–12 minutes for best texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a stack of six golden brown biscuits on a white plate, each biscuit with a slightly rough, flaky texture and visible bits of green herbs mixed inside the dough. The biscuits have a crispy, browned top with some shiny spots from a glaze and small cracks showing the soft, fluffy inside. The plate sits on a white marbled surface with a few sprigs of fresh thyme placed nearby for decoration. The overall look is warm and inviting, with the biscuits piled closely together, showing their layered, tender crumb. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond or oat flour?

Regular all-purpose flour can be used but will change the texture and carb content. Almond or oat flour helps keep these biscuits low-carb and gluten-free.

Can I make these biscuits ahead of time for meal prep?

Yes, these egg biscuits are perfect for meal prep. Bake in advance, store in the fridge, and reheat quickly for a protein-packed meal any time.
