Sometimes only a soft, buttery biscuit will do. (I’ve found this to be especially true when I’m pregnant!) And when those cravings happen, these coconut flour biscuits really hit the spot!

Our family tries to avoid most grains for health reasons (my entire cookbook is grain-free in fact), but we’re only human … it’s only a matter of time before the longing for bread strikes. Sometimes only savory comfort food for breakfast will do — like biscuits and gravy, or our favorite, Eggs Benedict. Or in the summer, our kids love fresh strawberry shortcake.

And of course it’s always nice to have a bread-like substance on the side to soak up soup or chili.

Still, no indulgence is worth intestinal aftermath. But no worries … there is a solution!

Grain-Free Biscuits Made Possible

At the request of my husband, I’ve finally figured out a good recipe for flaky coconut flour biscuits. I’ve given an option to make them dairy-free as well, but if butter is better, feel free to use it and boost the comfort food factor! Another option is using ghee instead of butter or coconut oil, but reduce to 3-4 Tablespoons if you do.

My favorite thing about biscuits is their versatility. You can use them in savory applications or in a sweet dessert, or just on the side or as a snack. I’ve included some variations on these biscuits below to get the meal planning wheels turning.

For Fluffier Coconut Flour Biscuits

These coconut flour biscuits (as with most grain-free baked goods) will be denser than a traditional biscuit. I typically go for quick and easy and use a immersion blender to whip these together, but you could try this more traditional biscuit making method for a fluffier result. Many thanks to the Wellness Mama reader who suggested it!

1. Pulse dry ingredients in food processor with cold butter (or ghee, coconut oil, natural lard, or a 50/50 combination of these) until crumbly.

2. Beat eggs and add to food processor. Pulse just until mixed. Do not overmix.

3. Gently form batter into 6 balls and flatten, keeping them relatively thick.

4. Bake as indicated.

    I am new to the grain free lifestyle but have enjoyed it immensely, especially with all of these wonderful recipes available.  I made the coconut biscuits and I absolutely loved them.  I purposely neglected to tell my husband (who hates coconut) what I used to make them in hopes that he might like them if he didn’t know they were made with coconut.  However, this did not work he tasted the coconut right away.  So I was wondering if it is ok to use almond flour in recipes where it calls for coconut flour?

      You can you just have to adjust the amount up. Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid. Almond flour not as much. So you will need more flour. I would suggest mixing all of your wet ingredients then adding in your dry and adding more flour as you need it and keeping track of how much almond flour you add.

    Made them tonight with a big pot of buffalo chili…I couldn’t wait until dinner so one has already been consumed with butter and organic strawberry jelly and yum is the word! They are really very simple to make and the only suggestion I have is to make less biscuits making each one larger if you want to fill them…

    UPDATE: I followed your recipe, split the biscuits in half and added a sausage patty and some American cheese and…they were a HUGE hit! The kids have requested this again but this time, using bacon instead of sausage. Thank you again!!

    I just baked these. After not eating breadlike things for some time, that first bite of biscuit with butter and strawberry jam was like HEAVEN.

    I think that people who have an aversion to coconut will not find them offensive if they go for the butter option. People who dislike eggs, however, might find them a bit strong on that count. But I think that any flavorful topping should cover up any egginess or coconuttiness. (Those are totally not words, but you know what I mean.)

    Thank you for the recipe!

      I’ve been using coconut flour and oil for over a year, so I might not
      be as sensitive to the taste as others, but I don’t generally notice
      a coconut taste at all, especially if you use butter instead of
      coconut oil.

          I get most of my groceries from Trader Joe’s. They have a 1 lb bag of Organic Coconut Flour for $2.99 and it works fantastic.

      I don’t like coconut,but other than a faint smell, they don’t taste like coconut at all. My kids couldn’t believe they were made from coconut flour!

      To me, they taste really egg-y. I don’t taste any coconut at all, I only taste the eggs in it.

        I replaced two of the eggs with 2/3 cup milk, I guess you could use any liquid and let my batter sit for over 5 minutes before I made my biscuits. They turned out wonderfully.

          Thanks so much for posting this Cyndi! I used a little less milk to bake up some fabulous biscuits. They’re also good with just the eggs, but even better to us this way.

      They are pretty coconut-y. Almost like a coconut macaroon without the drid coconut texture.

    These look delicious. I’m going to give this a try without the honey because we’re following the “Modified Atkins Diet for Seizure Control” (MAD) and have to keep carbs under 20g a day. Total carbs, not net carbs. One of the things we’ve missed the most is my sausage and cheese muffins and these look like they might replace them very nicely! Thank you SO much for the recipes; your Blog has been a Godsend.

      Hi Lorri! My son was on MAD for 3.5 years. Last summer he had a clean EEG and we took him off the diet. Haven’t seen any seizures since! Good luck on your journey.

        I know this was posted 4 years ago, but do any of you have more information on this MAD diet? I have a friend that needs more info for her daughter who is having seizures while she sleeps. Anything will help. I’ll google it too, but thought if someone could point me in the right direction in internet world, that’d be great! Thanks!
