These Paleo Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits are easy to make and such a great summer dessert. Gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened.
When I asked you all on Instagram what kind of strawberry shortcake you wanted, the top two were poundcake and biscuits. I shared the Paleo Poundcake a couple months ago so I thought it's time to share the biscuits. They are both good in their own ways and you can't go wrong with either.
These biscuits are easy to make and hold up well to the strawberries and whipped topping. They are not overly sweet, but still sweet enough to feel like dessert. They have an almond flour base which makes them hearty and satisfying.
Whipped Topping
I tried making coconut whipped topping, but it didn’t work out well and I was running out of time. I actually just bought a dairy free version from the store. But HERE is a recipe you can try that I think would work great.
They are so simple to make with everything getting mixed in a bowl, divided, shaped and baked. They are ready in under 20 minutes which is so nice. I like to make the strawberries a day in advance, but at least 1 hour if you're doing it all the same day. The little bit of maple syrup helps draw out the natural juices in the strawberries making them sweet and syrupy.
I hope you try this fun summer dessert! A classic made over to be healthier.

Can you use frozen blueberries instead of strawberries because I’m allergic to strawberries but l would love to make this recipe if l could use blueberries?
Jessica DeMay says
Yes, of course!
Maggie says
These were excellent! My daughter requests strawberry shortcake every year for breakfast on her birthday. I've tried a few other recipes but they haven't been hits - this one was! It was also very easy to put together, and made a good amount of them to feed my crowd!
Jessica DeMay says
Thank you so much for making them, Maggie and so glad they were your daughters special bday treat! Thanks for the great feedback 🙂

Hi! We have an almond intolerance in my house. Do you think oat flour would be a good substitute?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Virginia- I don't know if it will work exactly, buy may be worth a try. The closest would be cashew flour if that's tolerated. But I think it may work with oat. I hope you try them!
