If you love buttery, fluffy biscuits but loathe the hassle of cutting cold butter, kneading dough and fiddling with pastry cutters, this recipe is for you.
Just mix a handful of simple ingredients, drop the dough onto a baking sheet, and brush it with a little butter. In about twenty minutes total, you’ll have warm, golden brown biscuits that are perfect for serving with:
- Homemade jam (We love strawberry, blackberry and peach)
- Sausage gravy
- Soups, stews and chili
They also make a great foundation for savory breakfast sandwiches with eggs or sausage – or both! I hope you love them as much as we do. If you try them out please come back and rate the recipe.
Gluten-Free Drop Biscuits Recipe
Equipment
- Cookie sheet / baking sheet
- Ice cream scoop (optional)
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (here's how to make it)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil if dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing (or coconut oil if dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Scoop about three heaping tablespoons of biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet. I use an ice cream scoop to make this step super quick, and the biscuits bake evenly because they’re close to the same size.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and firm yet springy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten free flour instead of almond flour?
Unfortunately, almond flour absorbs liquid differently than most gluten-free flour blends and won’t likely work in this recipe.
I’m egg free. Can I use an egg replacer such as a flax egg in this recipe?
I haven’t tested it with any egg replacements, but if you do please leave a comment and let us know how it turns out.

These look pretty good and nicely simple. I might make them a bit more like regular biscuits by smoothing them out a bit…but they look good to go! I use Bocha Sweet and Allulose, but need to find a liquid non-stevia/monkfruit/sugar alcohol substitute for honey and maple syrup as I’m diabetic. Once I do that, I’ll make these and let you know but I feel they will be a 5*!
