Key ingredients and substitutions:
- Almond flour -Â one of my favourite grain free flours. Almond flour is high in fiber, healthy fats and higher in protein compared to most grain based flours. Be sure to use almond flour and not almond meal as almond meal is too grainy and doesn't have a fine enough texture.Â
- Coconut flour - to help give these biscuits that perfect firm and crumbly texture.
- Tapioca starch/ flour - to add a light and fluffy texture to these biscuits.
- Baking soda - When combined with the apple cider vinegar this helps the biscuits rise to get that nice and fluffy texture.
- Eggs - to help bind these biscuits, add moisture and help them rise when they bake.
- Coconut oil - to help add moisture and give these biscuits that perfect texture 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.
- Apple cider vinegar- this combines with the baking soda to help these biscuits rise. You can use lemon juice instead.
- Honey - to add natural sweetness. You could easily use maple syrup instead.
How to make:
Tips and variations:
- If you tolerate dairy feel free to use butter or ghee instead of coconut oil.
- Try not to over-mix the dough as they won't turn out as light and fluffy if you do.
- Use room temperate eggs for best results.
- These biscuits freeze really well so feel free to freeze a few or make a double batch and save some for later.
Serving ideas:
- These biscuits pair really well with soups, stews and chilis - they would be the perfect pairing to my Whole30 Sloppy Joes or Beef Curry Stew.
- Serve them for breakfast by adding an egg on top or topping them with your favourite chia seed jam (this is one of my favourite chia seed jam recipes).
- Serve these biscuits with gravy to make biscuits and gravy!
- Use two biscuits to create a bun for a sandwich.
- Eat them plain as a snack.
- Top them with your favourite nut or seed butter.
- You can use these biscuits to make shortcake such as raspberry shortcake or strawberry shortcake.
How to store:
Store these biscuits in an air tight container on the counter for 3 days or in the fridge for 7 days. They also freeze really well.
Frequently asked questions:
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.
Each of these biscuits contains 15 grams of total carbohydrates including 4 grams of fiber with a net carb count of 11 grams. Â Depending on how many carbohydrates you get from other sources throughout the day this biscuit recipe could be a great addition to a low carb or keto diet.
Definitely not! Cassava flour and tapioca flour are very different and these biscuits will not turn out if you try to use cassava flour.Â
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.

I’d like a substitute for the tapioca flour to make it SCD legal. Thanks!

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!

Oh I'm glad to know that sub worked! Thanks for commenting!
