Vegan Grain-Free Drop Biscuits {Oil-Free, Easy}
Vegan grain-free drop biscuits that are golden, tender and so tasty! Made with a combination of almond flour, chickpea flour, and potato starch, these oil-free biscuits are ready (start to finish!) in 15 minutes.
Servings: 6 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain nondairy milk (e.g., almond milk, hemp milk, cashew milk)
- 3/4 teaspoon light colored vinegar (e.g., white or cider vinegar)
- 3/4 cup almond flour (not almond meal)
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour (sifted, if lumpy)
- 2 tablespoons potato starch (not potato flour)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder (certified GF, as needed)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F (215C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a cup or bowl, combine the nondairy milk and vinegar. Let stand for 1 minute.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, almond flour, potato starch, baking powder and salt. Add the milk mixture, stirring until just blended the dough will be very moist; if not, add a little but more plain milk).
- Scoop and drop the dough into 6 even mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart, If desired, smooth top with water-moistened fingertip.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes until risen and golden brown. Remove from baking sheet and cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool completely.
Notes
Storage: Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, the refrigerator for 5 days, or the freezer for up to 6 months.
Tip: Be sure to use potato STARCH, not potato flour (they are very different ingredients). I have not tested this recipe using other starches, but an equal amount of tapioca starch (or cornstarch, if you only need these to be gluten-free, not grain-free) should work.
Richer Biscuit Variation: For richer biscuits, replace 1 or 2 tablespoons of the milk with the vegetable oil (of your choice) or melted vegan butter.
