Fact: Everyone loves biscuits. Right? I mean, even those who might say they don’t- it’s probably because they think they shouldn’t; because biscuits aren’t exactly healthy. But deep down…. they love biscuits.
I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback on my Cauliflower Biscuits with Bacon & Jalapeño recipe, and it’s become the #1 post on my blog by far. As much as I love those biscuits– I do agree with some of the commenters who have compared them to a “jumbo tater tot”, “crab cake”, or “potato pancake” in terms of texture. Not that any of those are a bad thing; just not exactly like a true biscuit.
These Paleo Drop Biscuits, on the other hand, are 100% homestyle biscuits. They don’t taste like they’re healthy, or like a Paleo version of a comfort food– they just taste like biscuits: a lightly sweet & buttery flavor with a crisp outside and soft, moist inside. & Because they are homemade as opposed to a can or a boxed mix, they taste even better than any biscuit I’ve had.
Try these for breakfast with sausage gravy (see my Biscuits & Gravy Recipe) or spread with a little of my 5 Minute Strawberry Jam. You could also slice them in half to make a breakfast sandwich- or any type of sandwich! These are also perfect for dipping in your favorite soup, chili, or stew.
I love the simple biscuit recipe- but I think adding some ‘extras’ would be great too… try garlic or chili powder for something savory, or cinnamon & nutmeg for something sweet.
Let me know if you try these out- and tag me in a picture on Instagram if you do! Enjoy!

November 25, 2014 at 2:56 amBest Paleo biscuits I have ever had. Taste just like the biscuits at Red Lobster. Thanks for the recipe Jessie.

May 30, 2015 at 10:03 pmI'm so looking forward to trying these biscuits! Does the type of vinegar you use matter? I don't have apple cider vinegar!

March 10, 2016 at 11:48 amThese look super easy to make so will definitely give them a try tonight! Can you please indicate whether they remain fresh for a couple of days or it's better to freeze them once cooled to retain their freshness? Many thanks!

March 10, 2016 at 5:32 pmHi Abigail! They remain fresh for a few days, & are best stored in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

May 16, 2016 at 12:23 amI just made these using Trader Joes almond meal (which I don't think was correct) but, they still turned out awesome! Had a yummy sweet flavor! Going to get almond flour and make again. I actually felt like I was eating bread, which a hadn't had in so long! These were also super simple to make! Thank you!

Have you ever tried them without adding a sweetener? You think they'd be good without the honey?
Thank you!
Jessie B
August 13, 2016 at 3:10 amHi Johanna! Yes, I've made them more savory before by omitting the honey & adding black pepper, garlic, and other spices. If you don't want a sweetener, you won't miss it! 🙂

January 27, 2018 at 7:10 pmHey Jessie,
I'm intolerant to almonds, so I tried subbing coconut flour and upping the wet ingredients and… failed miserably. Any suggestions for subbing out the almond flour?

June 14, 2018 at 10:45 pmAbsolutely delicious! I added two cloves of puréed garlic to the recipe, we LOVED them. I will be making them again and again, thank you so much!

July 9, 2018 at 12:57 amModified with coconut flour, small amt of tapioca flour, flax egg, spices. It is a staple for my daughter who has digestive issues. Often we triple the batch and freeze them. Thank you for this recipe.

April 16, 2020 at 11:50 pmHow did you modify it with coconut flour and how did they taste. I need recipes with coconut flour, but am new to this and don’t know how to change from Almond flour to coconut flour in recipes. Thank you for any help you can give.

August 28, 2020 at 6:04 pmYes, agreeing with Cheryl, can you be specific about the amounts you used, please?

July 21, 2018 at 3:59 pmWow I'm addicted. I've made them 3 times now and the first time they were too liquid-y and ran too much but the second time I used more dry and also had a courser almond meal and it was perfect! Thank you so much for this recipe!

November 11, 2020 at 2:36 pmI subbed the butter with coconut palm shortening and these are so so good! I won’t shut up about then. I’ll probably eat the whole batch and gain 10lbs!

July 15, 2021 at 6:08 pmGreat recipe only did half now I wish I did the entire one. Will have to make again. All items were in the pantry so I chose this. Glad I did .

October 22, 2022 at 12:16 amI have been Paleo for nine years. Nine. Tonight was the first time I tried this recipe. So completely fabulous and satisfying! My oven is wonky, so I reduced heat and baked longer. The texture was crispy-crusty on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Divine. Thank you so much for the recipe?
