- Almond flour - be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal as almond meal is too gritty and doesn't have a fine enough texture. Instead of almond flour you can use cashew flour.
- Coconut flour - to help give these biscuits that perfect crumbly texture and sweet flavour. Do not try swapping this for any other type of flour.
- Tapioca starch/ flour - to add a light and fluffy texture to these biscuits. Do not confuse this with cassava flour which is very different.
- Apple cider vinegar - when combined with the baking soda helps these biscuits rise and become more fluffy. You can use lemon juice instead.
- Coconut oil - to add moisture while keeping them dairy free. If you tolerate dairy you can use butter or ghee instead.
- Coconut milk - to add moisture and natural sweetness to these biscuits. You could swap this for another milk of your choice such as almond milk or cashew milk.
- Honey - to add natural sweetness while keeping these biscuits refined sugar free. You can use maple syrup instead.
How to make almond flour biscuits:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl.
- Step 2: Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix everything with a fork or pastry blender.
- Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form disc shaped balls with the dough, approximately 2 inches wide and 1 inch tall and place them on the baking sheet.
- Step 4: Bake the biscuits for 18-21 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Let them cool before enjoying.
Top Tips:
- Use room temperate eggs for best results.
- Try not to over-mix the dough as the biscuits won't turn out as light and fluffy if you do.
- These almond flour biscuits freeze really well so feel free to make a double or triple batch to save some for later. You can freeze them for up to 3 months in a freezer bag or airtight container.
- To store: store these biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Serving ideas:
Biscuits pair well with soups, stews and chilis and would be great to serve with my healthy sloppy joes or beef curry stew. You can top them with butter, honey or chia seed jam or serve them with gravy to make biscuits and gravy. You can also use these biscuits to make shortcake such as raspberry shortcake or strawberry shortcake.
Almond flour biscuits FAQs:
Almond flour and almond meal are not the same. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds that have been ground into a smooth, fine flour, whereas almond meal is made from raw, unpeeled almonds and has a courser, thicker texture.
As written, this biscuit recipe is not vegan as it contains two eggs. I have not tried making this recipe with any egg replacers so I am not sure if it would turn out. If you do try it please let me know how it goes.
Definitely not! Cassava flour and tapioca flour are very different and these biscuits will not turn out if you try to use cassava flour.
In many recipes, including many biscuits recipes, almond flour can be swapped directly for regular flour.
Almond flour is one of the best low carb flours. Almond flour is made from ground, blanched almonds and is very low in carbs, containing only 3 grams of total carbs and 1 gram of net carbs per 2 tablespoon (14-gram) serving.

These were a hit with my kids! I didn't have any tapioca flour on hand so I subbed arrowroot and it worked great! Will definitely put these on our regular rotation!
