Make these easy almond flour paleo biscuits in one bowl — no rolling needed. They’re gluten-free, grain-free and dairy-free, with an easy keto biscuit option.

Easy Paleo Biscuits

There is nothing like warm, homemade biscuits for breakfast. If you’re craving them this morning, you can be breaking them open and drizzling them with butter (ghee) or honey in 30 minutes. They’re perfect with a frittata and fresh berries.  Yum.

Of course, you can serve these biscuits at any time of day — for a snack or with dinner. I even make them to go with holiday dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Easy paleo biscuits

This recipe is so quick and easy. It’s one of the things I whip up when I’m in a hurry. Everything goes into one bowl. I skip the rolling out, and just drop them on a cookie sheet and flatten them. They bake while I cook everything else.

The ingredients are simple — just almond flour (I use this one), eggs, sea salt, baking soda, lemon juice, and a little honey. You can always swap out the honey for ghee or butter to make a keto version that’s not only sugar-free but free of all added sweeteners.

And they come together quickly — just stir the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Then make a well in the center and add the wet ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Use a cookie scoop to drop the biscuits onto a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake.

These gluten-free, dairy-free paleo biscuits freeze well. So you can meal prep and put a batch in the freezer for another day. They go straight from the freezer to a low oven to reheat — the best kind of freezer biscuits.

      Measuring almond flour with cups can vary the amount of almond flour quite a bit (see this post on it: https://cookeatpaleo.com/how-to-measure-almond-flour/). And this is a very stiff biscuit dough. It almost looks like it won’t come together, but if you keep stirring it will form into a ball.

    Definitely want to try these for Thanksgiving! Do they spread and rise much during baking?

      Suzie, they do rise a little bit, but they don’t really spread. Hope you enjoy them!

      Thank you! If you leave out the honey you may need to add moisture. I would try adding a little bit of ghee.

        Just wanted to comment on this to say I used 2 TBSP of ghee instead of honey, and they turned out great. Taste just like tea biscuits. Will definitely make again.

    Is the lemon juice important? and if so, is there something I can use as a substitute?

    Reply

      January 27, 2014 at 12:35 pm

      Hi Joanna, the lemon juice is the acid that activates the baking soda. In a pinch you can use another acid, like apple cider vinegar, but it will change the flavor. I prefer them with fresh lemon juice.

    I measured the flour by volume and it is not possible for this recipe to be correct.

      Depending on how you measure, you can get anywhere from 80 to 120 grams of almond flour in a cup when you measure by volume. I use about 100 grams per cup for the recipe conversions, but I ALWAYS measure by weight when I bake. Here’s a post on this – https://cookeatpaleo.com/how-to-measure-almond-flour/.

    These are absolutely lovely. I have 3 suggestions: Increase baking powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Let batter rest about 5 minutes so that dough is less wet. Use a 1/4 measuring cup oiled with coconut oil to form biscuit shapes. This will definitely become one of our favorites. Thank you for your creativity.

    Most of your muffin/scone/biscuit recipes call for almond flour. I am nut free. Is there anything else I could use?

      I haven’t tested it, but I’ve read sunflower seed flour can be substituted for almond flour. Also, here are a couple coconut flour recipes – Banana Blackberry Muffins and Lemon Poppy Muffins. Hope this helps!

    I Had major issues with the recipe 🙁 I didn’t have almond flour so I first tried coconut flour and it just wasn’t happening. Then I read some comments that said to keep working the mix and it would happen, this is after I threw out my mix. Then I did a redo using tapioca flour and if I squeezed the mix it stuck together but never really ade “dough.” They came out really dry and didn’t cook all the way through. Thoughts? So bummed…

      Hi Brooke, this recipe is designed for almond flour so I wouldn’t expect it to work with different types of flours. Nut flours, coconut flour and starch flours have different properties and behave differently in recipes. For example, coconut flour is very absorbent, so coconut flour recipes typically use less flour and more eggs, liquid, and fat. Tapioca flour is typically blended with other flours in recipes. Hope this helps!

    Yummy but really dry and crumbly.. I made them with 2 cups almond and 1 cup coconut flour, which is dryer. They taste great with butter on them! But I think they could use some oil in the mix

    Reply

      February 09, 2015 at 5:45 pm

      Hi Miranda, since coconut flour is so much more absorbent than almond flour, it can’t be substituted for almond flour in recipes. Coconut flour recipes use more eggs, fat and liquid than this recipe does.

    Hi!! I just made these and they are delicious!! I had one problem though and that was that the bottoms of them burnt before the mixture was cooked all the way through!! Are there any tips to avoid this happening please? I am new to paleo and to baking with almond flour but love these and can see they may be a good solution to my problem of trying to find something which is paleo and easy for breakfast so I would love to keep on making them without having to cut the burnt bottoms off them!!

      Hi Linda, a great trick is to double up your baking sheets. This helps insulate the bottoms so they don’t brown as quickly.

    These are wonderful! I used a coarser grind of almond flour and they came out like the corn biscuits I used to make! Everyone liked them, even my picky eater. In fact, I’m making them in my cast iron muffin pan now that hasn’t seen any action since going grain free.

    I made these tonight using Trader Joe’s almond flour. I also used apple cider vinegar because I forgot to get lemon juice and they were delicious! I put butter and honey on them…mmmm. Perfect thing to go with our soup, and I can’t wait to heat up a couple for breakfast tomorrow! My batch only made 7 biscuits so next time I want to double it and have some to freeze.

    No milk??? Just doesn’t seem like enough liquid. I have made several things with almond meal but it has always had more liquid.

      Hi Charlotte, no milk is needed for this recipe. Just make sure you use finely ground blanched almond flour, not almond meal. And measuring almond flour by weight is the most accurate.

    These biscuits were great! I weighed the flour and at first I was bummed because it seemed like these wouldn’t come together but I just kept mixing. It formed a perfect dough that could have been rolled out and cut with a biscuit cutter.
    I subbed chia eggs because my boys are allergic to eggs as well as all grains. The biscuits were gone in seconds. When I made them again to go with soup I added 1/2 tsp of paprika, 1/4 tsp of pepper and 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast to give it a slight cheese flavor without adding dairy. They were heavenly.

    Thanks for the recipe.

    Found this recipe tonight and made them tonight. I used the weight (315 g) for almond flour. They came out delicious! They were not crumbly at all. The outside was a little more brown than I wanted but I had to put them back in to cook the middle all the way through. I will definitely make them again.
