Full Recipe:

Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups plain 2% Greek yogurt (or full-fat/non-dairy coconut yogurt)

• 4 large eggs (room temperature)

• 2½ cups all purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten free blend with 1 tsp xanthan gum)

• ¼ cup ground flaxseed (or chia seeds)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 2 tsp salt

Ham & Cheese Chive Variation:

• 1½ cups chopped spinach (wilted and squeezed dry)

• ½ cup chives (or diced onion)

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup for topping)

• 2 cups diced ham (or cooked bacon)

Mediterranean Sausage Variation:

• ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed or rehydrated if dry)

• 2 cups cooked Italian chicken sausage (removed from casings)

• 1½ cups crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese)

• 2 tsp dried basil (or ¼ cup fresh basil added after baking)

Directions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin for taller biscuit cups.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, flaxseed, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Incorporate Add-ins: Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (spinach, chives, 1 cup cheddar, ham OR sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, feta, basil) until evenly distributed.

5. Shape Biscuits: Using a ⅓-cup measure or ice cream scoop, portion the dough into 12 mounds. For muffin tins, fill each well nearly to the top. For baking sheets, space the mounds 2 inches apart.

6. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool & Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is or slice in half for breakfast sandwiches.
