For the Biscuit Base
- 1 cup Plain 2% Greek Yogurt Use non-dairy yogurt for a vegan option.
- 2 large Eggs Room temperature eggs blend better.
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend 1:1 for gluten-free biscuits.
- 1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed Can also help with binding if removing eggs for vegan versions.
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional for a spicy kick.
For the Veggies
- 2 cups Spinach Wilt and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent sogginess before adding.
- ¼ cup Chives
For the Cheesy Goodness
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Reserve some for topping for a melty finish.
Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing or lining it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt and room temperature eggs until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the wilted spinach, chopped chives, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups and sprinkle a little reserved cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserts cleanly.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly in the tin before serving.
