Step-by-Step Instructions for Breakfast Protein Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and large eggs until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
  5. Incorporate the wilted spinach, chives, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the batter and mix evenly.
  6. Divide the biscuit batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each to about ¾ full. Sprinkle reserved cheddar on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before serving or storing.
