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.

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.

L says
Oh yum. Can they made with butter instead of coconut oil?
Elana says
L, I haven’t tried that but I think it might work :-)
Jeannette Leckvold says
These are the very best gf biscuits!!! I love them and they are a staple of my diet.
Elana says
Jeannette, thanks for letting me know you love these biscuits!
Terry Waldron says
Elana,
Great recipe! How do you store them once they are baked?
Elana says
Terry, I leave them out to cool overnight, then place in a glass pyrex dish with the lid on and keep in the fridge for a couple of days :-)
Debi Kellner says
Have you ever tried the Kirkland brand almond flour? I’ve had some issues and I’m wondering if this is why. Thanks for all the amazing recipes!
Elana says
Debi, I haven’t :-)
Maria says
When I bake your amazing Biscuits they “melt” on the cookie sheet instead of staying “biscuit”shaped. Any suggestions? I follow the recipe step by step.
Elana says
Maria, make sure you’re using the recommended brands of the ingredients for best results:

Amy Philpott says
These biscuits are bound to become a staple in our home. The recipe is lovely for its simplicity. I can easily imagine making these with variations. The only substitution I made for our first go was to use butter. Delicious!
Like some others, I didn’t roll the dough. Using an old ice scooper, I scooped mounds onto the baking sheet, then used the side of a knife to flatten them slightly.
Thank you!
-Amy
Elana says
Amy, thanks for appreciating the simplicity of this recipe. My goal for all of the recipes here and in my three cookbooks is 1) delicious 2) simple 3) healthy and I won’t share/publish a recipe unless it meets those criteria :-)
Nana says
These are sooo good. I added bacon bits to the first batch. Yum!!! Just made some with bacon and chives. DE-LISH! Great recipe for morning biscuits too… eggs on top of halves, eggs benedict, etc. They’re also great with soup.
Elana says
Nana, thanks for letting me know these are DE-LISH!
Melinda says
I made these today and they were delicious ! Thank you for this recipe.
Judith Levy says
Hi Elana,
I made the paleo biscuits with the almond flour. They were absolutely delicious but they did not rise! They were more like cookies but we actually loved them! Did I do something wrong?
I did put in the baking soda.
Thanks-we will try again. Judith
Elana says
Judith, happy to help. What brand of almond flour did you use?
judith levy says
Hi Elena-Just seeing this now! I used Kirkland brand from Costco.
Thank you.
Elana says
