Ingredients
Servings
8
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or preferred sugar substitute (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or light vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, lemon zest, and erythritol if using, until evenly combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lemon juice, melted oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender biscuits.
-
Scoop eight equal portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Lightly flatten tops if preferred.
-
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until biscuits are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature as a balanced, protein-rich snack or a quick, healthy breakfast option.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Gluten-Free High-Protein Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuits?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more egg or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Gluten-Free High-Protein Lemon Poppy Seed Biscuits before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
