Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 3/4 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon grape juice (natural)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon and Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the smoked turkey bacon slices in a pan over medium heat until crisp but not burnt. Remove and let cool; chop into small pieces for easy incorporation.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, natural baking powder, chopped herbs, spices, and the natural gelling agent. Whisk together until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed and airy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, melted coconut oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and grape juice (natural) for sweetness. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Form the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Fold in chopped smoked turkey bacon and shredded plant-based cheese evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape and Bake: Using your hands or a spoon, form biscuit shapes on a lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use eggs and coconut oil at room temperature for smooth incorporation.
- Fold the dough gently to preserve a light, tender texture.
- Make biscuits uniformly sized for even baking and consistent texture.
- Biscuits are done when golden and spring back lightly when pressed.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheet to prevent sticking and ease clean-up.
