You’re going to want to whip up this paleo biscuit recipe breakfast, noon, and night! These easy paleo biscuits make a fantastic base for a breakfast sandwich (with bacon and eggs, of course!) or as a side to paleo fried chicken with a drizzle of honey. I’m telling you, there is not a bad time for these coconut flour biscuits.

I have another recipe for buttery, low carb paleo biscuits here with just almond flour, but the recipe I’m sharing today makes the best paleo biscuits if you want them more chewy. We’re using a blend of almond and coconut flours, along with some tapioca. (And they are still pretty low carb, at 3g net carbs each!)

How To Make Paleo Biscuits

After trying lots of different ones, I can confidently say this is the best paleo biscuit recipe! They are the perfect mixture of light and dense, crumbly and chewy, and so, SO buttery. Serve them as a side or turn them into a sandwich and enjoy them as the main course.

Here’s how to make paleo biscuits with coconut flour and almond flour:

  • Mix togetherhomemade gluten-free biscuit dough. Combine eggs, coconut flour, almond flour, coconut oil, tapioca flour, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • Form coconut flour biscuits with English Muffin Molds. This keeps them from spreading too much.
  • Bake until golden brown.

That’s it! Your homemade gluten-free biscuits needed just a couple of minutes of prep, and the rest of the time is spent waiting on them to bake.

How Do You Know When Grain-Free Biscuits Are Done?

You’ll know when these fluffy paleo biscuits are done when:

  • They are a light golden brown color
  • An inserted toothpick comes out clean
  • Touching the top does not leave an indent

Be careful to not over-bake the gluten and dairy-free biscuits, or they will end up hard and dry.

Can You Substitute Anything For Almond Flour?

Yes, you can substitute any nut flour for almond flour when you make this gluten-free biscuit recipe. Sunflower seed flour will work if you are allergic to nuts, but the biscuits might turn green – don’t be alarmed, they will still be delicious and safe to eat.

Can You Substitute Anything For Coconut Flour?

This would be more difficult to replace, as coconut flour is very absorbent. Very roughly, you may be able to replace the 1/4 cup coconut flour in this recipe with 3/4 cup almond flour, but I can’t guarantee that they would turn out the same.

You can store these almond and coconut flour biscuits for 2-3 days on the counter, but they’ll last longer in the fridge (up to a week).

Can You Freeze Paleo Biscuits?

Yes, you can freeze this paleo biscuit recipe for a few months.

Freeze the biscuits in a single layer on parchment paper, so they don’t stick together. Once they are solid, you can move them to a bag for longer term freezer storage.

You can thaw your coconut and almond flour biscuits on the counter, in the fridge, or even just reheat them in the oven or microwave.

What To Serve With Paleo Biscuits

Biscuits go perfectly with so many things! They make a great accompaniment to paleo soups or paleo salads, or as a sandwich for a meal. Here are some of my favorite pairings:

  • Paleo Fried Chicken Strips– For paleo fried chicken and biscuits – I love to brine the chicken in pickle juice first when making this combo! I drizzled on some honey, too.
  • Green Chili Chicken Soup– The biscuits will help mellow out the spice.
  • Whole30 Chili– Can’t go wrong with some biscuits alongside a hearty chili.
  • Big Italian Salad – Since this salad was meant to replace Italian subs, a paleo biscuit on the side will make it feel more sandwich-like.

FAQs

How much baking powder to use with coconut flour? ›

Replacing wheat flour with coconut flour

For example, conventional pumpkin bread takes 2 cups of wheat flour, 2 eggs, ½ cup butter or oil, and 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder. My keto pumpkin bread takes ¾ cup of coconut flour, 4 eggs, 2 egg whites, ⅓ cup of butter or oil, and 2 full teaspoons of baking powder.

How much coconut flour do you need to substitute for almond flour? ›

Because almond flour and wheat flour can be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio, you can also substitute coconut flour for almond flour by using 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every cup of almond flour.

Is it better to bake with coconut flour or almond flour? ›

Almond flour is particularly well-suited for recipes that require a light and airy texture, such as cakes and muffins. Coconut flour works best in recipes that require moisture and density, such as brownies and dense bread.

How many eggs per cup of coconut flour? ›

It is recommended that for every 1 cup of coconut flour you use, you should add in 6 eggs. Experiment and Learn: It can feel a bit complicated, but it doesn't have to be! We recommend adding small amounts of liquid, or eggs, into your coconut flour mixture and seeing how moist the mixture remains.

What is the secret to baking with coconut flour? ›

Use a 1:4 ratio when substituting coconut flour with all-purpose flour. This means that for every 1 cup of regular flour, you only use ¼ cup of coconut flour. Following this ratio will help make your low-carb baked goods come out the way you hope.

How much coconut flour is equal to one cup of all-purpose flour? ›

A good rule of thumb is 1/4 to 1/3 cup of coconut flour for 1 cup of regular flour. When flour absorbs water, the starches gelatinize, but when coconut flour absorbs liquid it becomes soggy, resulting in a heavier, denser baked good.

How do you use almond flour and coconut flour in baking? ›

1 cup all-purpose flour = 1/4-1/3 cup coconut flour. Coconut flour can be baked at the same temperature as other recipes, no need for adjustment. The best ratio is 3:1 almond flour to coconut flour. This low carb flour substitution closely mirrors all-purpose flour without the need for additional eggs.

How much coconut flour for 1 cup almond flour? ›

To substitute coconut flour for blanched almond flour while accounting for coconut flour's higher absorbency rate, use a quarter cup of coconut flour for every one cup of almond flour. This works best in recipes that don't rely on large amounts of almond flour to begin with.

What happens if you use coconut flour instead of almond flour? ›

Coconut flour is particularly absorbent and sucks up a lot of moisture. Replacing coconut flour for almond flour (or grain flours) requires that you adjust the amount of liquid and eggs added. A good starting point is to substitute 1 cup of almond flour with 1/4 cup (1 ounce) of coconut flour.

What is the best ratio for baking powder and flour? ›

Use the ratio of 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 1 cup / 150g / 6 oz of plain flour to make either a small batch or a bulk batch of self raising flour. What is this? Many baking recipes require self raising flour, which is a flour containing baking powder.

How much baking powder to add to flour? ›

Just add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for each 150g/6oz/1 cup plain flour. Sift the flour and baking powder together into a bowl before using, to make sure the baking powder is thoroughly distributed (or you can put both ingredients into a bowl and whisk them together).

How much baking powder to add to non self-rising flour? ›

Here's our Test Kitchen's simple method to make self-rising flour: For every cup of self-rising flour, substitute one cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda.

How much baking powder to mix with flour? ›

As a rule of thumb for your baking you add 1 gram baking powder to 25 grams of flour used. You have to work quickly after stirring, because this baking powder is a so called single acting or fast acting powder.
