  • 1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed Chia seeds are a great alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Can be reduced for a lower sodium diet.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic is a wonderful substitute.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased muffin tin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain 2% Greek yogurt and large eggs until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well-blended.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no dry flour remains. The dough should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fold in the chopped ham with cheddar and chives or the Mediterranean ingredients like sausage, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes.
  6. Scoop the biscuit dough using a ⅓ cup measuring cup and drop onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Sprinkle reserved cheese or feta on top of each biscuit. Place in oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before storing.
