I love biscuits! But I’m on a low carb, gluten free diet so need something different than a standard biscuit made with a base of wheat flour.
That’s why I created my Biscuits with Almond Flour recipe.
Biscuits with Almond Flour
These biscuits are every bit as versatile as their gluten filled counterpart –and once they’re baked up, you can go sweet or savory.
Smother them in gravy, or make beautiful little strawberry shortcakes. Keep reading as I share those recipes below.
Biscuits Recipe Easy
My Biscuits with Almond Flour recipe is made with six healthy ingredients –that’s it!
All you need to throw these together is almond flour, coconut oil, egg, honey, salt, and baking soda.
Biscuits Gluten Free
This gluten free biscuits recipe is far easier to make than the real thing! And it’s tasty too.
My Biscuits with Almond Flour are not only a Thanksgiving favorite, they’re so good we make them all year round!
Biscuits Quick Recipe
I’ve been serving these gluten free biscuits at our Thanksgiving dinner for years now and they’re a family favorite.
I love how quick this recipe is when I have many other dishes to fret over.
Usually, I make them a day or two ahead of time to save space in the oven on Thanksgiving day.

Did you know that in Britain, a cookie is referred to as a biscuit?
So a British biscuit is an American cookie. If you’re looking for the perfect “British” biscuit, try my Pecan Shortbread Cookies.
Recipes for Gluten Free Biscuits
Below I’ve gathered my favorite recipes to pair with my Biscuits with Almond Flour.
Biscuits Sausage Gravy
If you’re looking for a biscuits breakfast recipe, have I got a fun and colorful option for you.
Think biscuits with sausage and gravy elevated with healthy Green Eggs (eggs with kale).
My Green Eggs are made with four ingredients: cooking oil, eggs, kale, and salt.
Smothered in my delicious Herb Gravy that’s homemade? Now that’s a culinary home run.
Serve with a side of the Breakfast Sausage recipe in my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, for the perfect 10-minute breakfast dish.
Gluten Free Biscuits Gravy and Chicken
If you’re looking for biscuit dinner ideas then you need to try my biscuits with gravy and chicken.
Since I have the perfect biscuits for gravy, I’m staying on the Herb Gravy train.
This biscuits dinner recipe pairs fantastically with my Perfect Roast Chicken in Oven pictured above.
Biscuits for Strawberry Shortcake
You didn’t think I would leave you without biscuits for dessert recipe, did you?
If you smother these biscuits in my Coconut Cream or Homemade Whipped Cream and top them with fresh strawberries, they make an amazing strawberry shortcake!
Chocolate Biscuits to Make
My Biscuits with Almond Flour are plain, but I also have an fantastic Chocolate Biscuit that makes the most incredible Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake.
My older son wrote that recipe when he was in grade school!
If you’d like a whole strawberry shortcake rather than a single serving, check out my cake for Strawberry Shortcake.
Healthy Recipes to Bake
I hope you enjoyed all of these healthy recipes to bake and found a biscuit recipe you’re excited about.
There’s no question, biscuits from scratch are the best biscuits. What’s your favorite way to biscuit?! 😉
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared these Biscuits with Almond Flour in 2010.
Sarah says
These sounds great! Do you think it would work to sub something for the eggs (allergic)? Maybe water/oil/baking soda so it can still rise a bit?
Elana says
Sarah, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my Egg-Free Recipes page for you:

Marlene Goforth says
Chia seeds can be used in place of egg. I haven’t tried it but my friend uses them. The seeds turn gelatin like when liquid added.
Elana says
Marlene, thanks for that suggestion! I have tried it with a number of my recipes and have not had success. If you try it with this one please let us know how it goes :-)
Emily says
I made these EGG FREE, coconut free and without honey, and they were delicious!
In place of the eggs I used
1/4 cup applesauce
1 1/2 Tbs almond oil
1 1/2 Tbs water
1 tsp homemade baking powder
I used almond oil instead of coconut and it worked just fine. Also, the slight sweetness from the applesauce made up for leaving out the honey. I did have to cook them several more minutes, but they were so good.
I patted my dough to 1/4-1/2″ and cut it into heart shapes with a cookie cutter :) cute and fun to eat
Elana says
Thanks Emily!
Lynne says
Thank you Emily! I was going to ask about trying them egg free! How do you make your baking powder? I am running low and would rather get a healthier version.
Christa Landingham says
This is a staple in my home now. Thank you.
Elana says
You’re welcome Christa! So glad that these are now a staple!
Casey Portman says
Hi Elana,
I just came across this recipe. While I have coconut oil in my pantry, I definitely prefer the flavor of butter :) Do you think I could use butter instead of the oil?
Elana says
Casey, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you do, please let us know how it goes.
Syvella says
I made these today and they were delicious!!
Kirsten says
These are incredible! I made them for my kids as the “shortcake” in strawberry shortcake, and they loved them! And such a simple recipe to whip up quickly. I even skipped the rolling step and just made balls of the dough and flattened them a little on the parchment-lined baking sheet, and had great results. This recipe will definitely be a go-to in my kitchen. :)
Elana says
Kirsten, so glad to hear that you loved these and that this will be a go-to recipe for you :-)
Julie says
Elana,
So grateful for these recipes! You are just WONDERFUL. Thank you for the options for those of us that need them. Great books, super easy to navigate website and gourmet flair. You are my hero.
Elana says
Julie, you are so sweet! Thanks for your lovely comment :-)
Antonella says
These look great. Can I substitute olive oil for the coconut oil?
Elana says
Antonella, I haven’t tried that so not sure.
Thea says
I just found your site today and made these “delicious” biscuits. I have been fighting Candida for a year now and am not winning this battle. I was looking for things that I can cook up and just pull out to eat when needed. These are wonderful and will add another dimension to my diet. Thank you! I will definitely be experimenting with more of your recipes!
Elana says
Thea, so nice to meet you here on my website! I have a full Candida Diet Recipes page that you might find useful:

Hi Thea,
If you take the sugar and yeast out of your diet you should be able to control the abundant yeast in your body. It takes a good long two months for me when I have been bad and go off my diet to get it back in control. I had it so bad ( it comes out on my hands only ) that it starts out in dry red spots on my knuckles then get dry, red and flakey. Then if I let it go to long, goes into the blisters that itch like you want to cut your hands off! I have been dealing with Candida for a long time and if you have any questions Please ask me. I will help you with all I know. This is such a frustrating thing to have. Be well and remember, everything in moderation :)
Marjan says
Hi Gabrielle,
I started candida diet about 2 weeks ago. I was in holiday but I need to come back to work and I do not have enough energy. I do not feel better either. I wonder maybe it’s because anti fungal pills that I take like oregano oil, grapefruit seed extract and Caprylic acid. I bake coconut flour bread from candida diet site and I eat kale, broccoli, cabbage and spinach mainly. I drink nettle tea when I feel down or when I need tea. I am not doing good.
Before it I was in Paleo diet and I used to eat a lot of honey and cheese and sometimes rice and lots of bananas and other fruits but I had rash in my hands and dermatitis in my scalp and very bad allergy and digestive problems.
April says
Hi Marjan,
Sorry to hear about your struggle! I found out I had candida overgrowth a few months ago and started following a diet recommended by the candida diet website. But I adjusted my diet as I learned more about candida overgrowth and how it can relate to other conditions that need to be healed such as leaky gut, mercury toxicity, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and a few others. You may want to look into these too especially if you’re having digestive problems (I hear you there!) After cutting out sugar even from honey and fruit and adjusting my diet to a mix of candida diet and a diet to heal leaky gut, I’ve had good changes although I’m not completely healed yet.
Also, Elana’s pantry is great for candida recipes! I’ve found that I can adjust recipes by substituting sweeteners for stevia or xylitol.
Elana says
Thanks April! Here’s a link to my Keto Recipes page which works very well for the candida diet as well:

Harmony Lynn says
Hello! I am assuming that coconut four cannot be substituted….TIA
Christine says
Elana,
I just moved to 8,5000 feet in altitude – mountains of Colorado. Can’t wait to try this recipe…any idea how I adjust baking time for such an altitude difference. Hmm, maybe even ingredient variations…(thinking out loud). Maybe I need to do a google search. I’ve done a lot of your recipes in Seattle – thanks for such great food :)

Sound great I need too make these?
