FAQs
Can I use vanilla protein powder?
I do not recommend it. It will make the biscuits sweet. Stick to unflavored whey isolate here.
Why are my biscuits flat?
You might have twisted the cutter. That seals the edges shut. Always press straight down firmly.
Can I use all-purpose flour?
Yes, you definitely can. The texture will be even lighter. Whole wheat adds extra fiber though.
Go make these and crush your morning goals! You deserve a breakfast that works as hard as you do.
