Description
Light and fluffy protein biscuits with over 10g of protein each. These easy, tasty cottage cheese biscuits require only 7 ingredients and are ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup almond flour (75g)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (30g)
- 2 tablespoons pea protein powder (16g) or use egg white protein
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup full fat cottage cheese (140g), I used 6.5 percent fat.
- 2 eggs large
- 1 cup shredded cheese (113g), I used a medium cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F (electric) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the cottage cheese, eggs and shredded cheese into a food processor and blend until smooth. Or, use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer.
- Add the dry ingredients and process until just mixed and a sticky dough forms.
- Spoon the dough into 8 heaps (around 50g each). Shape around the bottom if necessary, but do not compact the top. Leave a little space between them as the batter will spread.
- Bake 13 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the top and cooked through in the center. Best served warm.
Notes
- These biscuits contain 10.8g protein and 2.8g net carbs per biscuit. Makes 8 biscuits weighing 50g each.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or up to 5 days in the fridge. Suitable for freezing. Gently warm before enjoying (oven, microwave or toaster).
