Coconut Flour Biscuits
When it comes to baking with coconut flour, my favorite recipes to make are brownies, cupcakes, and these coconut flour biscuits.
While I’m someone who loves a side dish of vegetables or potatoes with my dinner, I actually prefer something more comforting, like a dinner roll or bun. There’s something extra cozy about something carb-y with my standard meat and vegetables, and bonus points if it can also be keto. When I’m feeling a little bit fancy, I love whipping up some biscuits.
I’ve always loved biscuits, but usually make my other keto ones, which use almond flour. However, my mom recently gave me two massive packages of coconut flour, so I was keen to try it out using this other flour. Not only was I thrilled with the results, but they’ve also become my new favorite thing to bake! Bonus? These are also low carb!
I’ve been meaning to share a coconut flour biscuit recipe for quite some time. They need just 4 ingredients and take minutes to prepare. No grains and no dairy are needed, but you’d never tell. The texture is soft and fluffy on the inside and tender on the outside. They are mild tasting and perfect to customize with your favorite flavor combinations!
I had some friends over for a big barbecue and served them these biscuits on the side and NO ONE believed me when I said that it is grain free- They are so fluffy and buttery!
How do you make biscuits with coconut flour?
The Ingredients
- Coconut flour– Sift your coconut flour very well to ensure there are no clumps throughout.
- Baking powder– To give the biscuits some rise and stability.
- Eggs– Room temperature eggs.
- Coconut oil– Gives the biscuits a buttery texture, without actually needing butter!
- Shredded cheese- Optional, but gives a lovely cheesy flavor.
The Instructions
Start by mixing together your dry ingredients into a small bowl and set aside. Next, add your eggs and coconut oil into a large mixing bowl and whisk together, until smooth and combined. Gently fold through the dry ingredients and optional cheese, and mix together until a thick dough remains. Cover the bowl and let the dough sit for 10 minutes, for it to thicken.
Now, scoop out 12 portions of the dough and place them onto a lined baking sheet and press down onto each one to form a large disk shape. Bake the biscuits for 27-30 minutes, or until golden on top. Remove them from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes, before serving.
Tips to make the best coconut flour biscuits
- Do not overbake the biscuits, as they can go from fluffy to dense in a very short span of time.
- You must let the dough sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, so the coconut flour can absorb some of the liquid.
- Feel free to fold through some shredded cheese or spices through the dough for added flavor.
Flavor variations
While these biscuits taste delicious on their own, here are some fun flavor combinations to add some variety.
- Cheese– Add 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar to the dough.
- Jalapeno– Fold through 1/4 cup diced jalapenos and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
- Bacon– Add 1/4 cup diced bacon bits and 1/4 cup cheddar cheese to the dough.
- Cinnamon raisin– Add 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup raisins to the dough. For sweeter biscuits, add 2-3 tablespoons of maple syrup too.
- Chocolate chip– Fold through 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the dough, reserving a tablespoon to top the biscuits with.
Storing and freezing biscuits
- To store: Leftover biscuits should be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week.
- To freeze: Place biscuits in a ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- Reheating: Either microwave the biscuits for 30 seconds or place them in a pre-heated oven and warm up at 180C/350F for 5-7 minutes.

Well I really must do this. Coconut flour I use a lot really.
These are super yummy!
Made the biscuits without cheese. I subbed the coconut oil for peanut oil and added salt to the batter and the biscuits came out good. So pleased to be able to have biscuits on my keto diet. The recipe is simple and affordable to make.
Thank you. 👍
Nice easy recipe.. Lighter than I expected. I would suggest a bit of salt added or add cheese. they are rather bland. But taste good with plant butter or a piece of sausage. Will try a cheese variation next time.
I tried making them in cupcake muffin pan with cup cake liners. Baked at 360F. for 20 mins or less. They remind me of corn muffins.
Can you use other oil or butter instead of coconut oil?
Butter should be fine 🙂
Can I sub the coconut out for Lupin flour .
Sadly, these are not for me. I made a half batch and used quite a bit of extra sharp cheddar cheese and garlic powder, but I could mostly taste coconut. For my taste, not suitable as a dinner biscuit. On the plus side, they were pretty easy and cooked beautifully, 25 minutes. Also nice to have *something* like bread on my keto diet 😊. I might try to split and toast the leftovers and find something to spread on them. If I make them again I’ll try for a sweeter version. Thanks for the recipe anyway!
Just to note, my husband says he doesn’t taste coconut even after I told him he should 😜. He tastes the garlic and cheese and says they’re pretty good.
Awesome! I made with bacon grease and shredded cheese, delicious. I had been looking for a biscuit recipe, as an occasional treat, for my carnivore diet. Found it : )
Can I use these as dumplings on my chicken stew?
You are welcome to experiment and see
These are so easy!! I made them without cheese but they are very dry. If I’m not adding cheese should I up the butter to moisten them up? Any other tips?
Definitely add cheese or sub with some extra milk/buttermilk or cream.
Made the coconut flour biscuits. Melted butter with minced garlic and parsley to brush on top..they are good
I used bacon grease per someone’s previous inquiry,.. will make again! very tasty!
I was looking for an easy Biscuit recipe using Coconut Flour (I only use coconut flour for all recipes)and I found your website. I will make these easy, healthy biscuits from now on. Love all your recipes. Thank you so much for posting your awesome recipes. Many Blessings.
They are delicious, though I like to think of them more like cornbread substitute.
Can you substitute egg whites for the 8 eggs?
No idea, only tried it as written.
Thank you Arman!! I’m going to make these biscuits.
Thank you Arman!!
These look tasty and easy. My question…do they taste coconutty and eggy? I love coconut but not sure for biscuits. Also, could butter or bacon grease be used in place of the coconut oil? Thanks for all you do for us!
Not at all 🙂 But using butter/bacon grease could work!
As always great recipe! I added 1 T powdered ranch and 1 t garlic powder. I craved more salt, but I can’t wait to make these again. Thank you!
I made these with raspberries and lemon zest, adding in just a bit of sweetener. Game-changer of a recipe! 🙂
Fabulous!
