Equipment

This is a super simple recipe that doesn’t require any special equipment.

  • Mixing Bowl – We prefer to use a medium mixing bowl to give us lots of room to stir.
  • Whisk – For combining the egg with the Greek yogurt. A fork works well, too!
  • Baking Sheet – You don’t need a large one for this small batch recipe.
  • Parchment Paper – A must for easy clean-up. We choose unbleached parchment paper.

Instructions

Step 2

Step 4

Using a small cookie scoop (about two tablespoons worth), drop the almond flour mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. There will be six portions.

Step 5

Bake until golden, but be sure not to overbake, as this can cause them to dry out. Nobody likes a tough biscuit.

Once they are browned, take them out and serve warm.

Substitutions and Recipe Variations

Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, or freshly ground pepper to give these biscuits a spicy kick.

Use sour cream instead of Greek Yogurt for an even richer recipe.

Experiment with different cheeses, such as shredded cheddar, to make delicious gluten-free cheddar biscuits.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these biscuits alongside a warm bowl of soup. We love it with this tomato basil soup and a simple side of lettuce salad.

Pair them up as a side dish with a comfort food dinner like homemade meatballs or penne pasta bake.

FAQS

Do almond flour biscuits taste like regular biscuits?

They are pretty close! Like the OG version, they are fluffy and light with a crispy coating, but the almond flour gives them a slightly nutty flavor.

Can I use almond meal instead of almond flour?

We recommend using fine almond flour for fluffy Parmesan cheese biscuits. Almond meal is ground with the skins on, so it is coarser and would change the texture of your biscuits.

Storage Tips

To Store: Keep these gluten free biscuits in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature for 1-2 days. I recycle a plastic bread bag.

To Freeze: Freeze the cooled biscuits in a Ziplock freezer bag or an airtight container for up to 3 months.

  1. I want to try these, as it is hard to find a truly unsweetened cookie type thing. What can I do instead of chives? Like if I used dried rosemary or something, how much would I use? Thanks

  2. Recipe calls for greek yogurt but in the instructions there’s no mention of it. Was it replaced by sour cream???

    1. Ooops! Looks like a bit of human error there. Yes, it should say Greek yogurt instead sour cream (although that could be used in this recipe too). Sorry about that. I’ve updated the recipe. Thanks for letting me know, Krystal! 🙂

  3. Thank you for this recipe! It is delicious! I added extra fresh chives and a little more cheese. Can I double the recipe? I will make again, soon, but, we ate them all, and, wanted more!!
