Trying my hand at grain-free biscuits - a success!

Well hello there!

I am absolutely POOPED after this past weekend but it was totally worth it I had an amazing time! I know I teased you all with the idea of grain-free biscuits last week and never got around to posting the recipe. Then the other night I needed to throw something together quickly that would pack a protein punch and fill my tummy, but be stable enough to hang around in the bag that I lugged around during these very loooooong days. So, I whipped up another batch of these, tweaked the recipe a little from what I had done previously, and voila! I had these on hand for a couple of days as in-between-meals snacks!

The recipe is ridiculously simple!

Preheat your oven to 350*. Lightly oil a cookie sheet with coconut oil (these get sticky, so oil or put on parchment paper).

Ingredients:

6 eggs
1/2 C coconut milk
2-3 tbsp coconut (or olive) oil
1 tsp all natural vanilla
1 C coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
Dash of sea salt

Mix together eggs, coconut milk, oil and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well, then allow it to sit for a couple of minutes to let the baking soda activate and the coconut flour to absorb.

Keep extra coconut flour on hand to put on your hands while you scoop and shape the "dough." It is very, very wet and sticky! The dough will expand up and out a bit as it bakes, so my rounds were about 2x2x1 inches.

Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, until the center is no longer wet! They will still be springy to the touch, which is really good - these didn't get dry like some coconut flour products!

If you want to make them more savory - as I did the first time - skip the vanilla, use olive oil instead, and add your fave herbs! Or for more kick, add some chives and crispy bacon bits! For a more scone-like biscuit, candied ginger, dried cherries or other fruits, etc would give you what you're looking for. They won't be as crumbly, but they turn out nicely. I also am kicking around the idea of cutting butter in to the batter. We will see!

These took less than 10 minutes to prep, so they are great to throw together first thing in the morning or right before dinner! Have fun and make them your own =)
