Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (gluten-free if preferred)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Optional Toppings
- Extra shredded cheese
- Cooked turkey bacon or sausage crumbles
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to blend.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil (or melted butter), and fresh chives. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Portion and Shape Biscuits: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Each biscuit should be roughly 2.5 inches in diameter. Slightly flatten tops for even baking.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let biscuits cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with extra cheese or cooked meats.

Recipe Notes & Tips
- Pro tip: For fluffier biscuits, gently fold the cheese into the batter; avoid overmixing to keep a tender texture.
- Substitution: Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a slightly tangier taste and similar protein boost.
- Storage tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.
