  1. Mix the dry ingredients: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, and kosher salt together until they are fully combined. Then, add in the melted (and cooled) butter and eggs into the almond flour mixture.
  2. Fold the mixture: Fold the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together until the biscuit batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Place biscuits on a cookie sheet: Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop biscuit dough (~2 tablespoons each) onto a lined baking sheet. Position the biscuits at least 1-inch away from one another. 
  4. Bake: Place the baking tray in the hot oven for 25 minutes. Once the biscuits are fully baked, let them cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes.
  5. Serve!

Variations

The best part about these almond bread biscuits? Their versatility! From cheddar cheese to honey, a few easy add-ins can turn these traditional biscuits from a savory side to a sweet treat.

  • Keto Almond Flour Cheese Biscuits: Just add half a cup of shredded cheddar and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives for simple almond flour cheddar biscuits. Or, for a creamier option, you can even use shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Paleo Biscuits: To give this sugar-free biscuits recipe a sweet twist, just add in 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup.
  • Almond Meal Biscuits: While blanched almond flour and almond meal can be used interchangeably in this recipe, the version with almond meal would be a bit more dense and darker in color. While the below version is made without any addition of sugar, you can add 2 tablespoons of honey, if you want it to be a bit sweeter.
  • Whole30: To make whole30 biscuits, just use ghee instead of melted butter.

Expert Tips

Knowing how to put together these grain-free biscuits with almond flour shouldn’t be a secret. That’s why I’ve put together my best foolproof tips on how to get this recipe perfect every time.

  • Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to make sure your biscuits are evenly sized. You don’t need to press the dough flat or use a pastry cutter, either.
  • Place your biscuits 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Because Almond Flour Biscuits don’t spread like regular biscuits, you don’t have to worry about your dough running together.
  • Transfer each warm biscuit to a wire rack after removing them from the oven to cut their cooling time in half.
  • If you need to make more biscuits, you can double the recipe for a larger output. There’s a reason why this is the best almond biscuits recipe out there!

Can I substitute almond flour for regular flour in biscuits?

Though almond flour makes for a healthy, diet-friendly substitute for regular flour, it cannot be swapped on a one-to-one basis. Because almond flour doesn’t absorb liquid at the same rate as all-purpose, gluten-free, or wheat flour, you’ll need to find a conversion rate that works when baking biscuits made with almond flour.

  1. your recipe calls for:
    2 cups almond flour 8.4 oz….What does that mean? 2 cups flour AND 8.4 oz??

  2. I have made these biscuits many times. I have shared the recipe. We all love them. Thank you for publishing the recipe. Husband and his 3 Celiac off-spring love them. Best of all, so do I and anyone who tastes the.

    1. YAY! Thanks for coming by, making our recipe and taking the time to leave a review. I am thrilled to hear that you like these almond flour biscuits, Miriam.

  3. 4 stars
    It was good, but I added the cheese as well to make it keto and it just made them too salty for me. The consistency and texture was nice and it didn’t taste too eggy. Overall, I’d eat them again , but maybe with no cheese.

    1. Hello Mary,
      I appreciate your honest feedback. Thanks for coming by and taking the time to leave a review.

  4. 5 stars
    These were very tasty, great texture and flavor. The only issue I had was they scorched a bit on the bottoms. Anyone have any idea why? I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks!

  5. 5 stars
