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!

Is 1/2c almond flour correct?
I had to add another cup because I had soup.
Everything else remained the same. They are in the oven!!
Will see what I get 🤔
Jessica DeMay says
No, 1/2 cup of coconut flour. It's much different and doesn't convert 1:1. I hope they turned out okay!

Can I use palm oil shortening instead of Lard or coconut oil?
Jessica DeMay says
Yeah!

Super excited to try this tomorrow! I was looking for a coconut flour biscuit recipe that was simply and tasty. I have beef tallow on hand but I bet I can swap it for the lard. What do you think? Also, b/c I want to get as close as I can to my grandma's recipe, thinking of subbing the almond milk for buttermilk or kefir to get that same flavor. Do you think that would work? Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jeana- I hope you love these! Yes, tallow will definitely work! And you can use whatever type of milk you'd like. Let me know what you think 🙂
