Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. This ensures even baking and prevents sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.

💡 Tip: Sift the protein powder to avoid clumps.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, eggs, oil, and honey until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Form the Dough

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits fluffy.

Step 5: Add Extras

Fold in your favorite add-ins like cheese, berries, or herbs for a personalized twist.

Step 6: Shape the Biscuits

Scoop the dough into 6–8 portions and place them on the baking tray. Slightly flatten each biscuit.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown on top.

🔥 Pro Tip: Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even color.
