Gluten-Free Blood Sugar Balancing Protein Biscuits

the perfect savory, nourishing biscuit
these gluten-free blood sugar balancing protein biscuits are the ultimate savory baked good to support your hormones, keep you full, and satisfy those cozy, bread-like cravings.

packed with cottage cheese, eggs, hemp hearts, and fiber-rich flours, they’re as nourishing as they are delicious.

medical disclaimer:
this recipe is intended for general wellness and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. while these biscuits are made with ingredients that may support balanced blood sugar, individual responses can vary. always consult your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before making changes to your diet, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medication related to blood sugar management.

taste and texture
the flavor is herby and comforting thanks to a full cup of fresh parsley and a base of sautéed leeks and onions.

each bite is soft and hearty—almost like a cross between a biscuit and a savory quick bread.

they’re lightly golden on the outside, moist and fluffy on the inside, and super versatile.

why they support blood sugar balance
these biscuits are especially great for blood sugar balance because they’re high in protein and fiber, low in sugar, and filled with healthy fats.

the combo of protein-rich cottage cheese, omega-3-packed hemp hearts, and flaxseed helps support steady energy and hormones all day long.

how to make them
to make them, you’ll sauté a little onion and leek until golden, then fold that into a cottage cheese and egg-based batter.

add in oat flour, almond flour, flaxseed, hemp hearts, and plenty of herbs. scoop into rounds and bake until set and golden—super simple and ready in under 30 minutes.

customization options
you can customize these too.

no parsley? try dill, chives, or basil. want a cheesier biscuit?

fold in grated parmesan or a little mozzarella.

for more fiber and bulk, toss in a handful of shredded zucchini (just squeeze it well first). they’d even be great with chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes.

storage tips
for storage, keep the biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

they reheat beautifully in a toaster oven or air fryer. you can also freeze them and thaw individually as needed.

how to enjoy
whether you’re eating them for breakfast with eggs, as a snack with hummus, or on the side of a salad or soup, these protein-packed biscuits are a nourishing, hormone-supportive staple you’ll want to make on repeat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
    3 large eggs
    1 cup gluten-free oat flour
    1/3 cup almond flour
    2 tbsp ground flaxseed
    1/4 cup hemp hearts
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp sea salt
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp onion powder
    1/3-1/2 packed cup finely chopped fresh parsley
    1 finely chopped leek (white + light green part)
    1/3 cup finely diced yellow onion
    2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
    1/2–3/4 cup shredded mozzarella (regular or dairy-free), for topping

Directions

  • preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • in a skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil or cooking oil of choice. sauté the leeks and onions with a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. set aside to cool slightly.
  • in a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs. add the oat flour, almond flour, flaxseed, hemp hearts, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. stir until combined.

  • fold in the parsley, sautéed leeks and onions, and nutritional yeast or parmesan if using. the batter will be thick and scoopable.
  • scoop 9 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. gently shape each one into a biscuit-like round with oiled finger tips.
  • top each biscuit with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella. bake for 19-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
