“But Mom, it has stuff in it.”
When I was young (okay, stop laughing) *ahem* younger , this was my response when my mother served me an item of otherwise acceptable food that had unfortunately been rendered inedible by the addition of flecks, bits or chunks.
After all, I asked myself, why would anyone blemish a perfectly good cheese pizza with little kibbles of sausage and chunks of bell pepper? Or stir mysterious green herbs into the mashed potatoes? Or–heaven forbid–ruin a fresh loaf of banana bread by carelessly adding chopped nuts into the batter?
So you can imagine my disappointment when little six-year-old me, led into the kitchen by the smell of fresh biscuits, realized the fluffy white morsels were tainted with chopped herbs and onion. I vowed never to defile the sanctity of pure biscuits in my entire life.
Famous last words, right?
Fluffy and Savory Coconut Flour Biscuits
Yep, these coconut flour biscuits have stuff in them. Darn good stuff, as a matter of fact. Besides the pungent garlic, onion and herbs, these biscuits boast healing fats from the coconut oil (or lard) and coconut flour. Plus, these grain-free beauties fit into the SCD, GAPS, and Paleo diets!
These coconut flour biscuits call for either yogurt or coconut milk. I have a tutorial for making lactose-free GAPS/SCD yogurt and a post where I give options for additive free coconut milk. But you can use whole milk (preferably raw) or even nut milk, if that works for you.
I never thought I would say this, but I’ll take these biscuits with stuff in them over plain biscuits any day!
- 6 Tbs. coconut flour
- 6 Tbs. real lard or coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup very finely minced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 Tbs. yogurt or additive free coconut milk
- 1 Tbs. fresh chopped herbs (parsley, dill, thyme... whatever you have) OR ¾ tsp. dried herbs
- ¼ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. apple cider vinegar
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchement paper.
- Mix together the coconut flour, lard/oil, eggs, onion, garlic, yogurt/coconut milk, and herbs Let sit for 5 minutes; the batter will thicken slightly.
- Mix in the baking soda and vinegar. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheets. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into circles about ½” thick. The batter will not spread very much when baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until moist but cooked through. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving, or they will be too crumbly.
Do your kids mind stuff in their biscuits? Or maybe I should ask, do you?
What do you think of Spectrum organic all vegetable shortening in place of lard?
Lauren – thank you for this recipe! As a recovering biscuit addict 🙂 I have try to avoid them at all cost. Generally I have not had good success and/or did not like coconut flour as substitute for baking as I am allergic to almonds. However i decided to give your a try because of the reviews. I did substitute the 6TBLS of coconut oil with 6TBLS of ghee as I thought the coconut oil may impart too much coconut flavor and I wanted the flavor a good southern butter biscuit, I also used 2TBLS of Kirland Greek yogurt. Lastly, I turned the broiler on few minutes to brown/crisp the tops. The biscuits came out delish. Thank you for your recipe!
These just came out of the oven and they’re so good, very fluffy. I used powdered onion and garlic to save time but next time I will try the fresh stuff. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi. These look great. What are the Carbs in a biscuit? Thanks!
Wow these little babies are awesome! Added garlic salt and shredded cheese and they taste like Red Lobster garlic cheese biscuits double yum!????

Please accept my sincere gratitude for not only your Fab Recipes, Sharing Your Story & For Just Being So Generous & Wise when it comes to figuring out that the Food we Choose to eat, can Literally Help Our Bodies Heal Themselves.

This is my 2nd Month Of Completely Changing What & How I eat. But I’ve already felt so many Positive Changes! I just can’t seem to get rid of the eczema on my hands. However, as our skin is our Largest Organ & I had to receive 4 Hrs/25 Hrs Of Chemo for the 1st 2 Weeks of this year in order to keep my Leg. (It was inside the Bones in my Right Calve.

Could you please add the nutrional information? Calories, fat, carbs, protein?
Thank you.
I don’t provide nutrition info on my site, but there are many free and easily accessible websites where you can plug in the ingredients to obtain that information.
All of your recipes sound delicious. I do have the coconut flour but I’m out of coconut oil. Do you think Avocado oil would work well in this recipe? We’re all staying home because of COVID-19 these days so getting to the store is not easy. Thanks
