Breakfast Biscuit

Beth Bollinger of Nest Wellness
These high-protein breakfast biscuits deliver 25 grams of protein, 10 net carbs, and a third of your daily calcium—all in one grab-and-go option perfect for busy mornings. This sausage breakfast biscuit recipe is grain-free, gluten-free, and blood sugar friendly, making it ideal for anyone managing metabolic health, perimenopause, menopause, or following a low-carb lifestyle.
Unlike traditional breakfast biscuits made with refined flour, these use almond flour and cottage cheese for a protein-packed base that keeps blood sugar stable and energy steady throughout the morning. They're also incredibly versatile—swap the sausage for ham, add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers, or experiment with different cheeses.
Make a batch on Sunday and have breakfast ready all week. These biscuits freeze beautifully and reheat in minutes, making them a practical solution for hectic mornings when you need real nutrition fast.
With their savory flavor, satisfying texture, and balanced macros, these breakfast biscuits make it easy to hit your protein goals first thing in the day—no cooking required.
