Almond Flour Biscuits (GF, DF)

By Kelly · 99 Comments

Southern Style Almond Flour Biscuits ... these will take you back to your childhood! They are as good and grandma's biscuits.
Growing up in the South, I have fond memories of warm biscuits gracing our table not only at breakfast time, but often at dinnertime as well. My desire for this simplest of comfort foods led to the birth of this almond flour biscuit recipe that has become one of the most popular recipes here on the blog.

Top them with a pat of butter and a drizzle of sweet honey, or your favorite homemade jam for an extra special treat! Or use them to create a scrumptious and Easy Chicken Pot Pie. Leftover biscuits are also wonderful for making quick-n-easy Breakfast Sandwiches.

Southern Style Almond Flour Biscuits ... these will take you back to your childhood! They are as good and grandma's biscuits.This delightful recipe is just one of more than 100 irresistible grain-free, dairy-free recipes in my new cookbook – Everyday Grain-Free Baking!

From breads, biscuits and muffins to savory snacks and decadent treats, you’ll find step-by-step instructions, beautiful color photographs and helpful tips & tidbits to make all of your GF baking adventures a delicious success!

Almond Flour Biscuits

Yield: 8 biscuits

Almond Flour Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted (or ghee, or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tbsp pure honey (I prefer sage honey due to its mild flavor)
  • 2 tbsp pure coconut milk (room temperature is best)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature is best)
  • 1/4 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter (or coconut oil) and honey, until smooth. Add the coconut milk, eggs and vinegar, whisking together until well combined. Using a spoon, stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until thoroughly combined.
  3. For quick and easy drop biscuits: Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing the biscuits approximately two-inches apart.
  4. For classic-style rolled-looking biscuits: Scoop a large spoonful of batter into your hands and roll into a ball about the size of an apricot. Then place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently flatten using the palm of your hand.
  5. Bake about 15 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Serve warm with butter, raw honey or homemade jam.

Notes

For those who are not dairy-free, buttermilk or whole milk can be used in place of the coconut milk.

    Your biscuits (or scones as we call them here in Australia) are quite nice! I made them this evening to accompany our beef chilli and salad, so I omitted the honey to give them a more savoury flavour. They were quick and easy to make, I think I will make them more often in the future to accompany things like soups and stews. 🙂

    Kelly,

    Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe. I have been 80% grain free and 100% gluten free since January. I have been trying to get the kids on board but it has been difficult. This is the first “baked good” recipe that they have actually liked. I had to cut them off this morning. 😉 I enjoyed them last night with some yummy chili I made in the crock-pot. I am also dairy free so I used a coconut/almond milk blend and a couple of drops of lemon juice for the buttermilk effect. Thanks again!

      Thanks, Elizabeth! I appreciate your kind words. You can freeze these (I recommend cutting them in half and then put them back together and freeze). But you have to reheat on a really low setting on your toaster oven – 150 to 200 degrees. Once you can separate the halves, then you can toast them for a quick minute. They’re not as great as the day you bake them fresh from the oven, but they’re still tasty. 🙂 Blessings, Kelly

        Hi Kelly

        Still loving your blog…..you have such a beautiful ministry going on here, and I always feel such peace when I drop in for a little while. I especially love reading the comments sections; the conversations are a great source of encouragement….and wow, you ALWAYS bless others when you answer their questions.

        Any old how, I have a biscuit question…..above, Elizabeth asked about freezing these biscuits once cooked. But I was wondering if they freeze okay before they are cooked? Ususally, when I make biscuits or cookies (using wheat flour), I roll them into separate cookie balls and freeze them, then just take the amount that I plan to cook out of the freezer and they’re good to bake. Would that method work with almond flour biscuits?

        Bless you heaps,
        Susan

        P.S. Sorry if you’ve answered this question about almond flour in another post!

          Hi, Susan! Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a joy to know that you can feel the encouragement here – all thanks to the Lord! As far as freezing the biscuit dough. I haven’t tried it. I do know from experience though that almond flour can get a little soggy when it goes from freezer to thawing (of course that is the cooked version I’m speaking of). So I’d have to experiment to know for sure. You could always freeze half of the batch as a test and bake other half right away. That way, if they aren’t as scrumptious, you haven’t wasted an entire batch. Hopefully, I’m making sense 🙂 Blessings, Kelly

      You are not the first one to wonder about that. I plan to try these out in my Chicken and Dumplings Recipe to see if they’ll work. I think if they are in a more baked environment like this recipe, they’ll work. Traditional dumplings are submerged in a gravy-like sauce and I don’t think they’d do well in that environment. 🙂 Blessings, Kelly

    I made this for Christmas day with paleo sausage gravy with coconut milk, and it was good. ONe has to get use to the difference and these biscuits are more substantial then the white flour variety, and a welcome change. Appreciate your sharing, and looking forward to trying more things on your website.

    I pinned this recipe last week and we just finished devouring these tonight. I doubled it so there would be two for everyone and I inadvertently added an extra tablespoon of kefir (we were out of buttermilk) and the dough was a bit wet so I added a little coconut flour (because I knew it would only take a wee bit). They turned out beautiful and tasty but I forgot how FILLING almond flour is! One is sufficient, two provide that ate-too-much-at-Thanksgiving feeling! Keeper, this one. Thanks for your effort in coming up with a great grain-free biscuit recipe. 🙂

      March 11, 2013 at 11:54 am

      Hi, Dawn. Since the recipe was specifically made with blanched almond flour, which does behave quite differently that almond meal, I would caution that these may be a bit dense and heavy if almond meal is used. As far as the coconut nectar, that should not cause any issue. Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂

    Like your pictures. I used almond milk and honey and coconut oil
    The almond flour is homemade not blanched…could that be the difference?
    I like the idea of a breakfast sandwich and if there are any left will try in the morning!

      Hi, Mary. Apologies for the delay in responding. We were on a fun camping trip. Regarding your question, substituting ingredients can make a big difference in the outcome. Also I find homemade blanched almond flour just isn’t as fine of grind, so although it does make wonderful recipes, they often have to be adjusted because of this factor. Glad they were tasty despite the fact they didn’t match up with my photos. Many blessings, Kelly

    Just made these. They were awesome, but didn’t fluff up the way yours did. I followed the recipe to the letter (I also used the same brand of blanched almond flour). Could it be the butter? I used country crock. Also, I keep the almond flour in the fridge. Could that be it? Thanks for the recipe. I LOVE your site! I’m new here, and I’ve already made 3 of your recipes. The almond flour pancakes were scrumptious!

      Hi, Crysee. Country crock is not butter. I know that may sound like I’m being butter snob (LOL) and I don’t mean to be, but all margarines and other butter-substitute products are not real foods and because I care about YOU, I want to encourage you to stick to real wholesome foods like pure butter. You will find this recipe works wonderfully with pure butter (or pure coconut oil). Also, I always recommend that you use room temp almond flour for baking as that also will affect the outcome of your baked goods. (In fact, all flour for baking should be room temp.) I store about a week’s worth of blanched almond flour in my pantry in a tightly sealed container, and keep the rest in the freezer. Then, I simply replenish my pantry storage container as I run through it. That way, I always have room temp flour on hand. Hope this helps. Lots of blessings, Kelly 🙂

        Omg, Kelly I couldn’t stop laughing at your “butter snob” comment. LOL. But you’re right about the country crock. I checked the tub and it said margarine (whoops). I have pure coconut oil too but didn’t use it because it’s 120 calories per tablespoon. By comparison, the country crock was only 50. But…..if it’s gonna make the biscuits flat, I’d rather use the oil so they can fluff up. Thanks for the quick response and for the tip on storing the almond flour.

Anyways, I rolled out this biscuit dough to use on top of a chicken pot pie and it performed beautifully.. I started out with foil on top as to not have it brown to fast. I always use a little xanthan gum, but not sure if it was even needed. It was great!! Your website is such a blessing!

      Hi, Rebecca. Thanks for your question. I’m assuming your speaking about some of the reader comments about making dairy-free buttermilk. You can use almond milk or coconut milk for this recipe without adding lemon juice, but some readers do enjoy the tang-factor and so they add a few drops of lemon juice (or raw vinegar) to their coconut milk or almond milk. Here’s a link that explains how to make dairy-free buttermilk: http://thecoconutmama.com/2012/11/dairy-free-buttermilk-replacement/. I hope this helps. Many blessings to you and your son, Kelly 🙂

I’m also dairy free but did’t want to open a box of almond milk for just a few tablespoons so I soaked a bit of coconut meal in hot water and used that for the milk. Loved the texture and one was a perfect compliment for a Noel of tomato soup. Can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!!

    Reply
    • Kelly says

      March 30, 2014 at 5:40 pm

      In general, there is not a method necessary to modify a recipe calling for blanched almond flour when replacing with almond meal. It will just result in a more dense, heavier baked good. This is due to the skins being left intact. You could compare it to white vs. wheat flour – white flour is lighter and fluffier, whereas wheat flour is heavier and more dense. So if you enjoy the heavier taste and texture of almond meal, blanched almond flour recipes will work with almond meal, but they will not be as light and fluffy. Blessings, Kelly 🙂

    I am a little disappointed that you said nothing needed to be modified. They immediately burned and now I know that I love the recipe (I will not concede to stripped down almond flour, because we lose fiber and nutrients that way) but when I make it again the oven temperature needs to be diminished by at least 25 degrees. But my hubby still loved them.

      I’m glad your husband enjoyed them despite the set-back. As I explained, I do not work with almond meal. In general, it does not require adjustments when replacing blanched almond flour with almond meal, but almond meal does result in heavier baked goods which is why it’s rarely used in grain-free baking. Blessings to you, Kelly 🙂

    Hi Kelly – Just took buscuits out of oven…..came out little flat, not flaky in middle. I used coconut oil, no honey…otherwise followed to the letter…don’t know …any suggestions? I’m following gluten free and no sugar diet right now. Thanks!!

      June 29, 2014 at 9:49 am

      Hi, Debra. Are you using blanched almond flour (almonds fine ground without the skins)? Biscuits made with almond meal (ground almonds with the skins intact) are much more dense and do not rise well. The other issue would be that by removing the honey the moisture content was reduced. I haven’t tried these without honey, but my best guess would be to increase the milk by 2-3 tsp to make up for the lack of moisture from the honey. And, if you didn’t use buttermilk there wasn’t an acid to help with the rise. If using coconut milk, add 1/4 tsp of vinegar to remedy that.

      Also, it’s always good to periodically check your baking soda to be sure it’s fresh. You can do this by placing a little baking soda on your counter and place one small drop of vinegar on it. If the baking soda immediately vigorously fizzes-up, it’s good. If it does give a good fizzy foam, it’s time to replace it. Hope these tips help. Blessings, Kelly

The dough for mine was quite damp, I couldn’t roll it, so I just scooped it with an ice cream scoop and it worked great! I see in the comments that people have used this with chicken and dumplings. I was thinking it would make a great fruit cobbler topping. Has anyone tried that yet?

      So glad you enjoyed these, Ryanna. I’m sure you could use these for a cobbler as well. Let us know if you try it! 🙂

    Hi Kelly,
    I made these this morning. After many years of eating gf, this is one of the best biscuit recipes I have tried. I hope you don’t mind but I posted a link to the recipe on my blog.

    For some reason, I don’t see the amount of baking powder that step one calls for.

      My bad, there is no baking powder needed. Thank you so much for pointing that out so I can fix this boo-boo! You’re a gem, Meg! 🙂

    I just made these tonight with almond milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk. They turned out awesome! They were just the bit of bread that I’ve been looking for since going Paleo. For half of the batch i ordered 1/4 tsp each of garlic powder and italian seasonings. They turned out even better than the sweet ones. Garlic and herb biscuits to go with my chicken zoodle soup! Thanks for the recipe!

    I must be blind – but the recipe above does not have buttermilk in it. I see all the comments about not using buttermilk, but I would like the version WITH the buttermilk in it. Is anything else different in it? Thanks!

      Hi, Ann! Thanks for your note. The recipe was updated awhile back, so I apologize for the confusion. You can use buttermilk in place of the coconut milk. Same measurement, no other changes necessary. Blessings, Kelly 🙂

    So I bought your book and gave these a try. Does anyone else think they taste vaguely like cookies? I made them to go with a Paleo sausage gravy (YUM!) and was just surprised at how cookie like they tasted. Do you think it was my fat? I know you recommended melted butter or melted coconut oil so I used melted coconut ghee (half coconut oil/half ghee). Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Or is this meant to be more cookie-like?

      These should not taste like cookies, I would suspect it’s because of your substitution. Making substitutions is always risky. In addition, if you’d like to avoid all instance of sweetness, I’d recommend using palm oil shortening in place of the coconut oil/butter since palm oil shortening is a great replacement for butter and does not cast any sweet undertones in baked goods. Hope this helps! Enjoy! 🙂

        Using palm oil increases the rate of extinction of the Orangutan. Using butter will increase the usefulness of the good old cow and your health. Don’t use any product that list palm oil as an ingredient.

    Please note if using coconut oil, adding cool ingredients to it will cause it to solidify, which makes this a bit messy while baking. You will have chunks of oil in you dough that then melt all over the place.

      February 23, 2015 at 8:57 am

      Yes, good point. It’s best to incorporate the coconut oil into the honey and then the egg, this will help. Also, using room temperature eggs is best for baking as well. I’ll be sure to note this. Thank you!

    All wet ingredients are room temperature beat with wire whisk. Blend into room temperature dry ingredients. I’ve had no problems and biscuits come out mighty good. I would like a picture of inside your biscuit when its split in half.

    Appreciate your web site and bless you for the person you are 🙂

    I love this. I wrote a post on linked it to my Facebook page. Thanks. Here is my post. I’m a Georgia native and a southern boy in the stomach for sure. I love biscuits, but with all my recent medical issues of being fat and forty, I have had to cut them out. This morning I found a great almond flour biscuit recipe GF and DF. It reminds me more of a Greek or a Mediterranean almond honey cake, but I’m not complaining. They are really good.
    If you decide to check out this recipe you will find that it is very different than a normal flour recipe, but that is because almonds have fat in them so the recipe has to balance out that extra fat and incorporate additional binding agents (eggs). Make sure you use the coconut milk. You can buy coconut milk in can. Just make sure you stir it up before you add it to your recipe. No the biscuits don’t taste like coconut. Give it a try.

    Tried these tonight and they are yummy. I did add three tbsp of tapioca flour for more texture….very nice. I have not tried them without but am sure they are great.
    They looked like “real” biscuits too! My tops crackled nicely and the texture was very tender. I have been gluten free for ten years and tried lots of recipes, this is a keeper.

      Hi, Lita. So glad you enjoyed the recipe. The biscuits will keep at room temp for 1-2 days, or you can store in fridge up to a week. You can freeze, but I find that almond flour baked goods tend to become overly moist when frozen and then thawed. Thanks for taking the time to leave a kind note. With blessings, Kelly 🙂
