Let’s Make Some Magic: Step-by-Step

Ready to dive in? I’m right here with you. Let’s get started:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. This simple step ensures our biscuits don’t stick and bake evenly.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, and olive oil until smooth. It should look creamy and inviting.

3. Fold in the oats, cheddar, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir gently—you’re building flavor here!

4. Add any optional mix-ins like spinach or sausage, if using. This is where you can let your creativity shine.

5. Scoop the batter onto the tray using a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Each scoop is a promise of deliciousness.

6. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. This helps them bake evenly.

7. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden on top and firm to touch. Your kitchen will smell amazing!

8. Cool on a wire rack before serving. Patience, my friend, is key here.

9. Store in an airtight container or freeze for later. Perfect for meal prep breakfasts!

A Few of My Favorite Tips

Here’s a little secret: don’t skip the parchment paper. It makes cleanup a breeze and ensures your biscuits have a perfect texture. And if you’re adding mix-ins, make sure they’re evenly distributed to get a bit of everything in each bite. Trust me, these little touches make all the difference.

How I Like to Serve This

I love serving these biscuits warm, with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a smear of avocado. They pair beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or a simple green smoothie. Whether you’re enjoying them at the table or as a quick healthy breakfast on the go, they’re sure to bring a smile to your face.

Storing & Reheating (If There’s Any Left!)

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to three days. They also freeze beautifully. Just pop them in the microwave or oven to reheat, and they’re as good as new. It’s like having a little piece of homemade comfort whenever you need it.
