These Easy Paleo Biscuits are so delicious, healthy, gluten free, dairy free, and low carb.
Perfect with dinner or with a little jam for dessert.Oh, these biscuits are so good!! I wanted to make something that would be perfect along side a hearty soup or meal. That's what fall and winter are all about, comfort foods, and that's exactly what these biscuits are! They are so easy to make and are in the oven in just minutes. There is no excuse to not make these for dinner tonight.
Don't let the look of them fool you- they are moist, soft, and light. They are a little delicate, but that won't matter once you take a bite and see how delicious they are. The inside it exactly like a regular biscuit and so perfect. You will love it!
I made a couple batches of these- one with coconut oil and one with Fatworks Pastured Pure Lard. Both worked great, but the ones with lard were more moist and didn't need any ghee after they were baked. Most likely, your grandma used lard in her biscuits and she knew what she was doing. I highly recommend getting your hands on that stuff and using it- you can thank me later. 🙂
I'm thinking these would be perfect for Thanksgiving! Yeah, I know they would. Maybe with some Mashed Cauliflower, Roasted Delicata Squash (what I'm bringing to our meal) and of course the Turkey. Serve some Paleo Pumpkin Coffee Cake for dessert and you have one delicious meal!
The recipe only makes 4 biscuits- perfect for a small family. So if you're feeding more or if you want leftovers, just double the recipe. I have made a double batch multiple times and I can fit all 8 on one tray at the same time. No changes need to be made with the baking time.
These are the biscuits to make next time you find yourself craving a little bread to go with dinner or breakfast. You will love how easy they are while still being healthy. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy time with your family!

I love the texture of these. They were really fast, and easy to make. I mixed up the everything seasoning and added it to the dough to give it a little bit more flavor. The baking soda did come through in the flavor more than I liked.
BRETT says
Do these taste really coconut-y or if the coconut flour pretty neutral?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Brett- I think the flavor is pretty mild. You could definitely add some onion and garlic powder if you're concerned.
Gabrielle Colon says
Came out great. Super soft. A bit crumbly, but definitely nice after not having biscuits for a long time.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying them, Gabrielle! I'm glad you like them 🙂
Robin says
I made these using flax "eggs" and it worked fine. They're pretty crumbly, but tasty. I also substituted butter, but I bet lard would be amazing.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Robin! I'm glad they still tasted good!

These biscuits are easy to prepare and a real treat to enjoy and since I started paleo diet recently this was a real joy to find.
Liza Shay @ cbdogle says
These paleo biscuits are easy to make and super healthy so I made a whole bunch of these for my friends to try as well, they're so scrumptious!

I've made these a few times and like them enough to make again. I used butter for the oil unless my coconut oil is soft enough to measure; both work well. They are quick and easy.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Sharon! Glad you like them!

How many carbs? Did I miss the nutrition label?
Jessica DeMay says
I don't calculate calories. You can use a site like My Fitness Pal to calculate if needed.
Ardoth says
Can you substitute duck fat for the lard?
Jessica DeMay says
Yes! Enjoy!
anisa says
These were great! They are the first paleo biscuits I've had that turned out so light and fluffy. I had to fight myself not to eat all four of them in one sitting. I put the other two in a ziplock back for tomorrow's breakfast.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks for trying my recipe, Anisa and for the great feedback! I'm so glad you liked them!
