High-Protein Breakfast Biscuits

By Samantha Russo January 15, 2026

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)!

High Protein Overnight Oats (35g protein!)

By Samantha Russo January 12, 2026

My husband sat me down recently and admitted that he’s been starving in the mornings, and asked if I could help come up with a solution. And I gave it exactly half a second of thought before I said – overnight oats! So I wrote down a recipe for him and he started prepping this exact recipe of high protein overnight oats for himself every week. After the first week he circled back with me and was happy to report that not only were these oats delicious, but they really did keep him full all morning long (hard to do – he has the fastest metabolism of anyone I know, HA!). Ever since then I knew I needed to share this recipe with the world! It’s creamy, not too sweet, totally delicious, super easy to make (if my husband can make it, anyone can), and packed with 35 grams of protein.

And to top it all of? I love enjoying these oats with my protein coffee recipe for an extra 15 grams of protein to start my day!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much protein is in these overnight oats?

Each serving contains about 35 grams of protein, depending on the protein powder, yogurt, and milk you use.

What kind of protein powder did you use?

I used Aloha’s vanilla plant-based protein powder (use this link for 20% off!) because I love the taste and texture, but any vanilla or unsweetened protein powder will work. Even collagen powder is a great option!

How long do these oats last in the fridge?

These overnight oats last up to 1 week when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, making them perfect for meal prep.

What jars did you use?

I used this pack of jars from Amazon – 16-ounce jars work perfectly for single servings and are easy to grab on busy mornings.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk.
Lower sugar: Skip the maple syrup or use a sugar-free sweetener instead.
Extra thick oats: Add another teaspoon of chia seeds for super thick overnight oats.
More flavor: Stir in cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Add toppings: Fresh berries, nut butter, chocolate chips, nuts, or granola are some of my favorite toppings!
