3. How to Make Protein Biscuits Step-by-Step

Preparing the Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients and measure them carefully to ensure perfect results. This recipe is designed to be simple yet delicious, emphasizing healthy fats and protein for sustained energy.

Mixing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, and protein powder. Stir in the baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, almond milk, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. Incorporate any optional add-ins to personalize your biscuits.

Shaping and Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into small, evenly-sized balls or flatten into biscuit shapes. Place them onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool slightly before handling.

4. Storage and Freezer Tips for Protein Biscuits

For the best freezer-friendly recipe, store the biscuits in an airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. They stay fresh for up to 3 months. To serve, simply thaw at room temperature or warm in your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 for a quick, warm snack.
