Best Ways to Enjoy It
Savory Protein Biscuits can stand alone or be paired with various accompaniments. Try them with hot sauce for a kick, or serve them alongside a fresh salad for added nutrition. They also pair well with a dollop of hummus or a side of fruit for a balanced meal.
Storage and Reheating Tips
To keep your Savory Protein Biscuits fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week. If you have leftovers, they can be easily reheated in the microwave for about 20 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
Helpful Cooking Tips
For the best results, remember not to overwork the dough once you combine the wet and dry ingredients – a few lumps are perfectly okay! Also, if you choose to add the optional egg, it will give your biscuits a richer texture. Consider adding some chopped herbs or spices to the mix for an extra flavor boost!

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can swap out the whole wheat flour for almond or coconut flour to suit gluten-free diets.
