Healthy Almond Flour Biscuits! These gluten, yeast and diary free biscuits are quick to make, ready in 30 minutes and packed with healthy ingredients. Light, fluffy, easy, delicious and crowd pleasing!
Hello December! Oh my, bring on the Christmas and New Years madness. This time of year is always a whirlwind. So many events and things going on. I don’t know one day to the next what I’m doing. But first, let me pass you a basket of almond flour biscuits and let’s catch up!
Over the weekend, I made the trip to the other side of Phoenix to visit my best friend to see her new house and work on our new meal planning business. Coming in January! Just in time for the new year. Stay tuned for details!
The rest of the weekend I was frantically running around trying to find fancy jewelry and shoes for a white tie event this weekend that the guy and I are going to. Oh my! I ordered three dresses from Rent the Runway.
They arrive Friday and the event is Saturday. Crossing my fingers and toes that one of the three fits perfectly. This is me living on the edge! Secretly, I’m excited to get dressed up and have a fancy night out with him. It’s like adult Prom!
So, yes! It’s a busy month and I have yet to figure out what to get everyone for Christmas. Send help!
Too bad I can’t wrap up food and give it away. Lord knows I have plenty of it to pass around, and everyone needs a good biscuit in their life, right? Okay, maybe not under the Christmas tree. When you’re eating gluten free you need a healthy homemade biscuit recipe, and this Almond Flour Biscuits recipe is it!
QUICK to make, only 10 minutes to prep, and absolutely delicious! Packed with healthy fat, yet low in calories. These biscuits couldn’t be any more perfect, tasty or easy. As a side note, I have made these with gluten free oat flour as well. So if you’re not a fan of almond flour that’s another option for you. Hope you enjoy!
Almond Flour Biscuits
Ingredients
- 5 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, or milk of choice
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites with the milk several minutes until soft peaks form.
- Mix remaining ingredients together in a mixing bowl then fold in the egg whites.
- The dough will be thick and sticky. If it's runny, add a small amount of coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
- Divide the batter into 6 even balls. Form them into rounds or the shape you want you the biscuits to be in.
- Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes until slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator up to 7 days.

I tried this with all almond flour, and it turned out pretty good! I did have to add a little extra almond flour at the end because I couldn’t get my milk and egg whites to form peaks. I used regular milk as well. Also, I would beat the egg whites separately from the milk to help peaks form. This will make a lighter biscuit in the end.
Can I use regular 2% milk & 1 cup of almond flour ? I don’t have almond milk or coconut flour.
I’m sure any milk will work, but I’ve never tested using only almond flour. The coconut flour really is necessary to bind and make them fluffy. I can’t guarantee the results without it.
Hi I’m a bit confused on the recipe it says beat egg whites with milk but on the video the milk is added to the flours and egg whites are done alone I don’t want to mess this up I’m new to this whole baking thing.
Hi Randy, follow the recipe card please. Thanks for the catch on the video. I’ll have to chat with the guys who made it.
Can you tell me the texture?
Soft and chewy
Will flex/chia egg work in this recipe?
I haven’t tried. Let me know if you do and I’ll update the recipe for others!
Did you test the recipe with this change? I was interested in this recipe, but then saw it uses egg whites. My wife and I have been vegan for 7 years.
We both had biscuits on our minds this holiday season, that must be why we are besties!
You are a dork. LOL
