Fluffy Almond Flour Biscuits (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

Delicious Low-Carb Biscuits – Tender & Fluffy!

Unlike regular biscuits, we’re not using wheat flour. Instead, we’re using blanched almond flour to make these.

Thanks to the almond flour, these biscuits are moist, soft and pillowy, making them the perfect base for spreading creamy butter on top, or eating them with gravy. You would never know that these are free of gluten and dairy too, or that they are low-carb!

Best of all, you can make them in less than 30 minutes, which means that if you start now, you can enjoy fluffy homemade biscuits in no time at all!

Why You’ll Love this Recipe:

• Only 5 Ingredients: The few ingredients you need for this tender almond flour biscuit recipe are easily available at the local grocery store (nothing fancy required!).

• Totally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free & Low Carb: The best part is that these almond flour biscuits are 100% gluten-free, dairy-free and low-carb, which means that even those with Celiac disease or gluten or lactose intolerances, or those on a low-carb diet can enjoy them without issues.

Recipe Notes + Substitutions:

• Almond Flour: Make sure to use blanched almond flour (blanched almonds processed into a fine flour) as opposed to almond meal (processed whole almonds with their skins on).
• Cream Cheese: I used dairy-free cream cheese to keep this recipe dairy-free. If you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use regular cream cheese or Greek yogurt instead.
• Egg: The egg is necessary for binding the ingredients together, so make sure you don’t leave it out.
• Baking Powder: Baking powder is the only leavening agent that helps the biscuit dough rise. If you are Celiac or gluten-intolerant, make sure to use certified gluten-free baking powder (and ideally aluminium-free baking powder too).

How to Make Almond Flour Biscuits:

Mix Cream Cheese & Egg: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese and egg. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.

Add Dry Ingredients: Add the blanched almond flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. The texture should be slightly sticky, neither too firm nor too runny.

Dish by Dish Tips:

• Optional Add-Ins: If you wish to add more flavor to these gluten-free biscuits, you can use shredded dairy-free cheddar or mozzarella cheese, or dried herbs (such as  dried rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder or garlic powder) for extra taste.
• Shaping: Make sure to lightly dampen the spoon or your hands to prevent the biscuit dough from sticking.
• Sweet version: You can add a little erythritol or monk fruit sweetener for a touch of sweetness.
