I love biscuits! But I’m on a low carb, gluten free diet so need something different than a standard biscuit made with a base of wheat flour.
That’s why I created my Biscuits with Almond Flour recipe.

These biscuits are every bit as versatile as their gluten filled counterpart –and once they’re baked up, you can go sweet or savory.
Smother them in gravy, or make beautiful little strawberry shortcakes. Keep reading as I share those recipes below.

Recipes for Gluten Free Biscuits
Below I’ve gathered my favorite recipes to pair with my Biscuits with Almond Flour.
Biscuits Sausage Gravy
If you’re looking for a biscuits breakfast recipe, have I got a fun and colorful option for you.
Think biscuits with sausage and gravy elevated with healthy Green Eggs (eggs with kale).
My Green Eggs are made with four ingredients: cooking oil, eggs, kale, and salt.
Smothered in my delicious Herb Gravy that’s homemade? Now that’s a culinary home run.
Serve with a side of the Breakfast Sausage recipe in my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, for the perfect 10-minute breakfast dish.
Gluten Free Biscuits Gravy and Chicken
If you’re looking for biscuit dinner ideas then you need to try my biscuits with gravy and chicken.
Since I have the perfect biscuits for gravy, I’m staying on the Herb Gravy train.
This biscuits dinner recipe pairs fantastically with my Perfect Roast Chicken in Ovenpictured above.
Biscuits for Strawberry Shortcake
You didn’t think I would leave you without biscuits for dessert recipe, did you?
If you smother these biscuits in my Coconut Cream or Homemade Whipped Cream and top them with fresh strawberries, they make an amazing strawberry shortcake!
Chocolate Biscuits to Make
My Biscuits with Almond Flour are plain, but I also have an fantastic Chocolate Biscuit that makes the most incredible Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake.
My older son wrote that recipe when he was in grade school!
If you’d like a whole strawberry shortcake rather than a single serving, check out my cake for Strawberry Shortcake.

Hi Elana,
These look great. But is there a lower carb substitute for the honey? It’s making it tio high carb fir a biscuit for me
Thank you.

Hi Elana,
Just wondering if the dough can be frozen or if the baked biscuits should be frozen and reheated? What works better?

Colleen, I haven’t tried that, if you do I hope you’ll LMK if it works :-)

Tip: I treated this recipe like the gluten version of biscuits. All ingredients were kept cold (eggs, coconut oil, and almond flour). I mixed the cold eggs and half of the honey together first, added the cold dry ingredients – mixed those together (not beat) first. When most of the dry and egg/honey mixture was incorporated I added the cold (not melted) coconut oil (cold = solid state when left in pantry during the winter months.) I used a fork to “cut” in the coconut oil (same as cutting in cold butter for traditional biscuits.) I did not use my hands since I didn’t want the heat to transfer. I rolled them out slightly, cut as directed, then used a silplat to bake. I think the key here is COLD ingredients. They came out perfect – even with half the honey. I topped with goat cheese and wild blueberry.

These are the first recipe I’ve ever made with almond flour. Even though I didn’t stick to you recipe because I didn’t gave some of the ingredients they turned out wonderful so thank you for the recipe! I made half a batch. Used egg whites, avacado oil, and xylitol but used all your ratios. They were so delicious. Oh and they were wetter than real biscuits so I just made drop biscuits. They were beautiful and tasty!Reply
