Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and to break up any flour clumps.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil and eggs together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until a cohesive dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
- Let the dough rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture, which will help improve the texture of the biscuits.
- Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the biscuits about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Gently shape each dropped biscuit with the back of the spoon to create a more uniform round shape, if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These biscuits are best enjoyed on the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent dough texture.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients just until they're incorporated to keep your biscuits tender.
- Resting is Key: Allow the 2-3 minute rest period for the coconut flour to absorb moisture, which prevents dry, crumbly biscuits.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop or large spoon for consistent biscuit sizes, ensuring even baking.
- Watch Closely: Ovens vary, so start checking your biscuits at the 10-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Cooling Technique: Let biscuits rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to help them set properly.
- Storage Hack: If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container and enjoy within 2 days for optimal freshness.
