Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt ((any fat percentage will work))
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 lemons ((just the zest))
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup ground flax seed
- 1.5 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice ((juice of 1/2 a lemon))
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone map.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, honey and lemon zest.
- In another medium bowl, sift the flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt and protein powder.
- Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. (the batter will be THICK).
- Use a spatula to mix in the blueberries,only mix the batter about 5-8 times- avoid overmixing the batter!! Overmixing the batter will result in dense, flat biscuits.
- Use a 3 tbsp cookie scoop (large cookie scoop) to drop the dough onto a prepared baking sheet. I use 2x a large cookie scoop (to toal about 6 tbsp dough) per biscuit. Gently shape the dough to form a biscuit shape (it will be sticky).
- Bake at 400F for about 5 minutes, decrease the temperature to 350F for 18-20 minutes (leaving the oven door CLOSED to avoid the heat escaping).
- To make the drizzle- in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.
- When the tops are browned, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool.
- Once cool, drizzle with the optional glaze.
