  • Publication number: 20200054028
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a soft-baked biscuit that is high in protein, and methods of making the same, that includes a protein component, a multi-textured mouth feel, and crispy inclusions contrasting with a moist and chewy matrix. The protein component may include a powdered protein source and a particulate protein source. The particulate protein source may be in the form of protein crisps, pops, tots, flakes, puffs, inclusions, pellets, bits, and/or particles. In some embodiments of the invention, the protein source includes a powdered protein source in an amount of about 35% by weight of the protein source to about 85% by weight protein powder and about 15% by weight to about 65% by weight particulate protein such as protein crisps. In another embodiment, the softbaked biscuit may include a protein component and a grain flour, wherein the flour is at least 4% by weight of the soft-baked biscuit.
