Enjoy these coconut flour biscuits with a side of eggs and bacon. They’re easy to make and are gluten free and low in carbohydrates.

I love biscuits.
They’re flaky, buttery, and delicious!
I was hunting for a low(er) carb biscuit recipe and had no luck finding anything that didn’t call for weird ingredients (like low carb Bisquick).
So I decided to try my famous biscuit recipe with coconut flour. My family loves cream biscuits from the Test Kitchen Cookbook (they’re the best).
I knew it was most likely to fail since converting regular flour recipes to coconut flour can be tricky, but to my surprise, I had luck with my first try!
Coconut Flour Biscuit Ingredients and Substitutions
These easy-to-make grain-free biscuits require just six ingredients: coconut flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder (yes, you really can make it at home very easily), eggs, cream, and salt.
Simple enough, right?
Couple of quick things to note:
Coconut flour: Coconut flour bakes VERY differently from your typical all-purpose flour; because it’s naturally gluten-free, coconut flour usually requires extra binders (think eggs) to hold together. Plus, coconut flour absorbs lots of liquid – so you’ll tend to find that your coconut flour bakes are richer. Check out my explainer on the best coconut flour to buy to help ensure you get a great bake.
Heavy cream: This is that liquid I mentioned you’ll need for the bake. You can also use coconut cream for a dairy-free option; if you want to DIY it, here’s an easy coconut cream recipe.
How To Make Coconut Flour Biscuits
This recipe is very different compared to regular biscuits.
Instead of making dough and cutting out biscuits, you’ll be scooping the batter out onto a cookie sheet (see the pictures below).



The batter for these biscuits is very wet! But don’t let that turn you off; these biscuits are delicious and probably the best coconut flour recipe I’ve ever made! Also, you would never guess they are grain-free!
This recipe can also be made dairy free buy using coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
