Why you will love this recipe:

• Even though these biscuits are made from scratch they are so quick and easy to make and only require five ingredients! They are ready in less than 30 minutes.
• These biscuits are perfectly flaky and crumbly and have the best texture.
• These healthy biscuits are made with almond flour so they are healthy, gluten free and high in protein compared to most biscuit recipes with 9 grams of protein per biscuit.
• This biscuit recipe can easily be made dairy-free and vegan.
• Biscuits can be used in so many ways! Eat them for breakfast, brunch, as a snack, serve them as a side dish or even turn them into dessert.
• I've seen other recipes similar to this one claim to only use 2 ingredients (yogurt and flour), but then when you look at the ingredient list they don't account for the other ingredients like the salt or baking powder. I've accounted for all the ingredients in the title of this recipe. These are truly 5 ingredient biscuits!

If you love gluten-free biscuits you will also love gluten-free cornbread!

Ingredients and substitutions:

• Almond flour - almond flour is used to give these biscuits the perfect texture, while adding more protein and healthy fats compared to grain based flours. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal to make these biscuits as almond meal is too gritty.
• Plain yogurt - yogurt is the secret ingredient in these biscuits. It adds necessary moisture, protein, fat and a little flavour. You need to use full fat, unsweetened plain yogurt for this biscuit recipe. Do not try using low fat yogurt. Greek yogurt also works really well.
• Honey - honey adds a bit of natural sweetness to give these biscuits that perfect flavour while keeping this biscuit recipe refined sugar free. You could use maple syrup instead of honey if you wish.
• Baking powder - baking power is what makes these biscuits rise when they bake. If you don't use baking powder these biscuits will turn out much more dense and firm. Baking soda will not work as a replacement in this recipe.
• Salt - a little sea salt is all you need to help enhance the delicious flavours of these crumbly biscuits.

How to make (step-by-step):

Step one:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step two:

In a large bowl, add all the biscuit ingredients and stir well until you have a smooth, slightly crumbly dough.

Step three:

Using your hands, form the dough into 7 biscuit shaped rounds. Transfer the rounds to the parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step four:

Bake the biscuits for 22-25 minutes, until golden brown. Let the biscuits cool for a few minutes, then enjoy!

Recipe variations:

• To make these biscuits dairy-free use a full fat dairy free yogurt. The thicker the yogurt the better. My favourite non-dairy yogurt for these biscuits is the original coconut yogurt by Yoggu.
• To make these biscuits vegan use a dairy free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
• To keep these biscuits gluten-free be sure the baking powder you use is gluten free.
• Instead of honey you can use maple syrup.
• To make these biscuits paleo, use a paleo friendly yogurt (one that is dairy free and soy free) and grain free baking powder.
• If you want the biscuits to be a little less sweet, decrease the honey or maple syrup to 2 tablespoons instead of 3.

How to serve:

These biscuits are delicious served as is, but you could also top them with a little butter, whipped cream, coconut whipped cream, fresh or frozen berries, blueberry chia jam or berry sauce. Biscuits are great to serve with main dishes like beef curry stew, no bean chili with blueberries, chunky meat sauce or squash and red pepper soup. You could also turn these biscuits into a dessert such as strawberry shortcake.

How to store:

These biscuits store best in the fridge. Store them in an airtight container for up to 7 days. They also freeze really well for up to 3 months.
