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.
Nathalie says
Hi! I absolutely love these biscuits. We don’t eat wheat in our household, and I’ve tried a few other recipes, these are my favorite. So simple and delicious. Thanks!
Elana says
Nathalie, thanks for letting me know you absolutely love these biscuits!
Jaime says
I’ve made these a few times with the straight recipe and love them. Tonight, I decided to change it up a little. I added in the Everything Bagel Seasoning from Trader Joes – a little inside and then put it on top before baking. They turned out great, so I had to pass on the tip!
Elana says
Thanks Jaime! I’m so happy to hear you love this biscuit recipe :-)
Carmen says
Can you make and freeze these? It would be nice to make a big batch and defrost as needed. They were so delicious!
Rita says
Hi Elana! Thank you for this delicious recipe! Do you melt the coconut oil or just leave it at room temperature? Unfortunately, my biscuits didn’t rise and I’m wondering if it’s because of the melted coconut oil.
Elana says
Rita, thanks for your comment. This recipe will work with melted or room temperature coconut oil. It sounds like the issue may be the brand of almond flour you used. Here are the ones that work in my recipes:

Enjoy!

Rita says
Thank you so much for your reply Elana! I did use the Honeyville brand (I bought it for the your Paleo 2.0 Bread). I replaced the celtic sea salt with himalayan salt and omitted the honey. Maybe those two changes caused the biscuits to fall flat? Either way they tasted great….just more of cookie consistency my first time making them. :)
Elana says
Rita, unfortunately when you start changing the recipe you also start changing the results. If you use the honey called for in this recipe the biscuits will be perfect :-)
Shane says
Hi Elana! I absolutely love your page! Whenever I need a good recipe, your website is the first thing I go to. However, I have a good friend who has a nut allergy – do you have a biscuit recipe that uses coconut flour or another non-nut flour? Thank you!
Elana says
Shane, here’s a link to my nut-free Cranberry Biscuits for you and your friend!

Sandra says
You have become my go-to source for Keto recipes, as my husband and I are trying it for a month to see how it addresses some blood sugar issues. These were the first recipe I tried and they were amazing! I added some scrambled eggs and cheese for a grab and go sandwich for us to carry to work.
Elana says
Saundra, making grab and go egg and cheese sandwiches with these biscuits is a great idea! I’m so happy you an your husband are enjoying my keto recipes and that the biscuits were amazing!
Carrie says
I just wanted to thank you for all of your delicious and easy recipes! My 7 year old daughter is gluten intolerant, and I have autoimmune issues and you have made my life so much easier. There isnt one recipe of yours that I’ve made that hasnt come out perfectly, including these biscuits I just tried! I dont think I could eat grain free without these recipes, you really seem to get us moms are busy and cant spend all day in the kitchen. Thank you !
Elana says
Carrie, I’m so happy to hear that I’m making your life easier, and that my recipes turn out perfectly :-)
Kerri says
I made these last night to serve with some Paleo chili, they were amazing! Very satisfying to dunk something in the chili I must say. I had a couple with my eggs this morning at breakfast, too.
I’m thinking this dough would make a pretty good pizza crust?
Elana says
Kerrie, great to hear these were amazing! I use the pizza dough recipe from my first book, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook:

De says
Hi! I was wondering if I could use olive oil in place of the coconut oil? My husband is allergic to coconut. Thank you!
Elana says
De, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you do please let us know how it goes :-)
