How to Make Gluten-Free High-Protein Biscuits

PIN IT

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and oregano.
3. Add flavor: Fold in sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan.
4. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk olive oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and milk until smooth.
5. Combine wet + dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until a soft dough forms. It should be thick but scoopable.
6. Scoop & shape: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form 8–10 mounds on your baking sheet.
7. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
8. Cool slightly before serving, then garnish with fresh herbs.

As they bake, your kitchen will fill with the warm aroma of herbs and tomatoes — it’s pure comfort in scent form.
