Cheesy Broccoli Breakfast Biscuits

Eating a high protein breakfast is CRUCIAL in helping you reach your fat loss goals. Having at least 20 grams of protein in the morning helps keep you full throughout the day and can reduce cravings that lead to overeating (especially at night).

These easy-to-make, meal prep-friendly breakfast biscuits are my new favorite high protein breakfast! They’re somewhere in between an English muffin, a savory scone, and a bagel, with a third of the carbs and double the protein. They’re ultra satisfying, and are perfect to eat on their own or with some eggs stuffed in the middle. Having one of these at my morning meal keeps me full all the way until lunch.

INGREDIENTS (makes 9 biscuits):

• 4 eggs

• 1 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

• 2 1/2 cups oat flour

• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (optional; you can substitute shredded cheddar cheese as well if you prefer!)

• 2 tsp sea salt

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/2 cup broccoli florets, chopped

• 1/2 onion, diced

DIRECTIONS:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and baking powder.

• Add in the eggs and yogurt and mix again until just incorporated.

• Finally, add in the broccoli florets and diced white onion and mix until evenly dispersed throughout.

• Use a large spoon to scoop out 9 even biscuits. Place them onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

• Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the tops of each biscuit turn golden brown.

• Enjoy these biscuits on their own, or slice them, toast them, and top with avocado and/or scrambled eggs!
