Mornings are hectic in my house. So in an effort to make our mornings a little less chaotic, I started meal prepping breakfast. I always have a few jars of my high-protein overnight oats for those mornings when I’m craving something sweet, but on days when something cheesy and savory sounds good – these high-protein breakfast biscuits are my favorite! I actually started meal prepping them for just myself, but both my husband and my toddler quickly realized how delicious they are and started asking for them too. So these days, I’ll make a double batch and store them in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go breakfast all week long. Or, I’ll even store half in the freezer to quickly reheat when we’re low on groceries and just need something quick, but filling to start our day. These high-protein breakfast biscuits really are my secret to making busy weekday mornings a whole lot easer, so give ’em a try this week – they’ll only make your life easier (and your day healthier)!

We have a tree nut allergy so I can’t do almond flour. Would regular flour work?
The Real Person!
Yes, all purpose flour will work in place of the almond flour in these breakfast biscuits! Hope you love ’em. 🙂
So good for breakfast!
