Southern recipes like chicken fried steak and homestyle stuffing have a special place in my heart, which is why I was so excited to receive a copy of my friend Kelly’s new cookbook, Everyday Grain-Free Baking.
She’s got a gift for transforming favorite dishes from childhood into delightful grain-free and refined-sugar-free creations, and her Southern-style strawberry shortcake biscuits do not disappoint! Kelly has graciously agreed to let me share them with you, so get ready to fall in love with a new recipe.
Simple yet decadent, these biscuits are proof that gluten-free baking can be delicious and easy. We top them with heaping spoonfuls of juicy strawberries and a dollop of homemade whipped coconut cream (or whipped cream) for a wholesome sweet treat – my kids adore them!
If fresh or frozen strawberries aren’t available, don’t worry. Just about any fruit will work – try bananas, kiwi, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, or whatever sounds good to you.

Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free)
Ingredients
Shortcake Biscuits
- 2 ½ c blanched almond flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (how to make vanilla extract)
Strawberry Topping
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (or thawed frozen berries)
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- whipped coconut cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- For the Biscuits: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter or coconut oil and honey until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking together until well combined. Using a spoon, stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until thoroughly combined. Place dough in fridge to cool about 10 minutes.
- For the Strawberry Topping: Slice the strawberries and toss with honey. If using, prepare the whipped coconut cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once biscuit dough is chilled, scoop a large spoonful of batter into your hands and roll into a ball about the size of an apricot; repeat until you have made six. Place the dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and gently flatten using the palm of your hand.
- Bake about 15 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Split the warm biscuits in half and top with a couple of heaping spoonfuls of strawberry topping and a dollop of whipped coconut cream, if desired. A delightful treat for breakfast or dessert!
