Ingredients You'll Need
Here's all you'll need to make these easy sausage cheddar biscuits for breakfast:
- oat flour: gives the biscuits that soft, fluffy texture without wheat
- baking powder: helps them rise and not turn out dense
- salt: just a pinch if you'd like since the sausage and cheese adds salt already, omit for littles under 2yo
- cold butter: creates that classic biscuit feel
- greek yogurt: adds protein + moisture, the binding agent!
- cooked breakfast sausage: use mild or low-sodium for littles, can also swap with ground meat (chicken, turkey, beef, venision, whatever you have)
- shredded cheddar: melty, cozy, toddler magic
- (optional) if you want herbs, rosemary or chives both work — but not required

How To Make Your Easy Sausage Cheddar Biscuits
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 2: Add the cold, shredded or cubed butter and use a fork to mash it into the flour mixture until crumbly. Then add in the yogurt to form the dough.
- Step 3: Fold in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar, then roll out to cut biscuits out of the dough.
- Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
Helpful Hint For Sausage Cheddar Biscuits
For the fluffiest biscuits, keep the butter cold and avoid overmixing once you add the yogurt. Oat flour dough can get sticky fast, so using a cookie scoop makes shaping so much easier (and keeps everything uniform for even baking!). Letting the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving also helps them firm up without drying out.
Substitutions
These sausage cheddar biscuits are already egg-free + gluten-free, and can easily be made dairy-free!
- dairy-free: use dairy-free yogurt + dairy-free cheddar
- gluten-free: oat flour is naturally GF or you can use GF all-purpose flour, just be sure the package says “certified gluten-free”
- no sausage: swap for turkey sausage, chopped ham, or finely diced cooked bacon
Variations
You can totally customize these sausage cheddar biscuits to create a breakfast flavor-profile your family will all love! Here are some ideas on how you can change them up:
- protein swap: use turkey sausage, chopped ham, or cooked bacon instead of breakfast sausage
- cheese change: try Colby Jack, mozzarella, or a dairy-free cheddar alternative
- flavor boost: add garlic powder, chives, paprika, or a tiny sprinkle of onion powder
- fruity biscuits: omit the sausage and cheese, and replace with a handful of frozen fruit
- mini biscuits: use a smaller scoop to make bite-size versions for toddlers or snack trays

Equipment
All you need to make these sausage cheddar biscuits is a mixing bowl, a fork or pastry cutter to work the cold butter into the flour, and measuring cups and spoons for the dry ingredients and yogurt. Grab a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup, and a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough. Super simple and minimal, just how busy mornings should be!
Storing Your Sausage Cheddar Biscuits
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
They're also great to freeze for later, just place cooled biscuits in a freezer bag and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
Tiff's Dietitian Tip
Biscuits, muffins, or any bread item are some of my favorite “bridge items” for picky toddlers. It creates a soft, familiar texture and holds moisture well, which makes trying new add-ins (like sausage or cheddar) way less intimidating for little ones. Pairing a familiar base with new flavors is one of the easiest ways to build confidence and reduce mealtime battles. And don't forget to let them HELP YOU in the kitchen!
