Grain Free Casein Free Biscuits

I've been experimenting with coconut and almond flours, attempting to replace all of the other gluten-free flours that I've become accustomed to using because my husband and I are trying to go totally grain free.

Here is a very nice drop biscuit recipe I want to share that uses both almond and coconut flours, as well as a bit of flax meal; my husband says they taste very much like Bisquick biscuits, only better.

I like the flavor and the texture of the almond-coconut flour combo.....I continue to experiment! :)

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1/4 C coconut oil, melted

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 C coconut flour

1/4 C almond flour**

1 1/2 T flax meal

1/2 tsp baking powder

1-2 T agave syrup or honey (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut oil (and agave if using) thoroughly. Combine the salt, coconut and almond flours, flax meal and baking powder in a separate bowl, then stir into the egg-oil mixture, blending well.

Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 16-20 minutes (start checking them at about 16 minutes), until beginning to develop golden-brown spots on tops. Makes 8 biscuits.

**Note: I am following Elana Amsterdam's suggestion and using ONLY finely ground blanched almond flour. Some almond flours on the market simply are not fine enough to give a good texture to baked goods. For example, Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour just doesn't work. The flour that I'm currently using is Honeyville's Blanched Almond Flour.

I'll have to try these. I have been experimenting with coconut flour also. I just want lower carb options. I have some almond meal I made myself so I don't know if it will be fine enough but worth the try anyway! Oh, by the way, I have some of this coconut flour and have used a couple of these recipes and want to try more. I have made the gluten free coconut pizza crust and the crust for the gluten free cheesecake. The pizza crust is awesome and so was the crust. I used the crust for a cherry delight desert I made for Thanksgiving. I liked it better than the old graham cracker crust I used to make.

Hi Roda,

Yes, I've tried the Tropical Traditions pizza crust too, and my husband and I really like it! It's hard to believe that it's grain free!

Cheers,

JoAnn

Thanks for posting this! I can't wait to try it!

A friend of mine ordered some of the super fine blanched almond flour for me the other day, so we could split the shipping costs. I have coconut flour here. I am not particularly avoiding grain, but I really want to focus on making sure the foods I eat aren't wasted calories -- that they're packed with nutrition. Fiber is something I have to work to get enough into my diet anymore. The coconut and almond flours are good for that.

I think this will be the first recipe I try with the new almond flour. Have you tried making dumplings with it yet maybe? I sure miss Chicken & Dumplings...

Hi Elizabeth,

I was just thinking that the biscuits might be good for Chicken and Dumplings! I haven't tried that yet but want to soon. If you do please let us know how they are as dumplings!

I made these today and they are really good. I had my own almond meal that I had made in the blender and the texture was good enough for me. I shared some at work and got rave reviews. I liked them warm with strawberry polanar all fruit spread.

So I was determined to make these tonight, but then realized I don't have coconut oil! I used Crisco instead. Unhealthy, I know, but I hope it works.

They're in the oven now. I'll try dumplings a different night... after I figure out whether they work with Crisco. ;-)

I will definitely add coconut oil to my grocery list, though.

OK....I finally got around to making Chicken and Dumplings!

I made a batch of this same grain-free biscuit dough and dropped spoonfuls on top of the chicken stew then turned the Crockpot to "High". They were done in about 45 minutes (firm to touch on top and when I inserted a table knife nothing stuck to it).

Yum!! I was really craving Chicken and Dumplings....it's nice to know that I can have a grain free version!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
