Almond Flour Biscuits
These almond flour biscuits are made a little different than my gluten-free biscuits recipe because they are made with almond flour. Baking with Almond flour is different from traditional flour or gluten-free flour blends made with rice. It has a mild nutty flavor, and baked goods made with almond flour have a thicker and denser texture.
Almond flour is also packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Almond flour is also gluten-free, grain-free, and is low in carbohydrates.
Making almond flour biscuits is an easy one-bowl recipe. It only takes a few simple ingredients to make these almond flour biscuits. You can see just how easy it is to make in the detailed recipe photos and recipe video.
Ingredients In Almond Flour Biscuits
Almond flour: It is essential for the texture to use super fine blanched almond flour and not almond meal. Almond meal is ground almonds that still has the skins. Using almond meal will change the texture and flavor of the biscuits.
Eggs: They are important in binding the ingredients together and for the biscuits texture. For a vegan option, you can substitute flax eggs or Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer.
Baking powder: This leavening agents provide lift and fluffy texture.
Salt: Helps balance and enhance the flavors.
Butter: It not adds flavor but moisture to the biscuits. For the dairy-free and vegan option I used Smart Balance.
Milk: It is important for moisture of the biscuits. For the dairy-free and vegan option I used unsweetened milk.
Sweetener: I have used both granulated sugar and pure maple syrup for this recipe. However, you can use other sweeteners like honey, coconut sugar, or even a sugar-free option like monk fruit, xylitol, or erythritol for this recipe. You can also leave out the sweetener if you wish.
