Gluten Free Biscuits
A twist on my original biscuit recipe! This one deserves it’s spot on this blog, it is THAT good!
The texture is a bit less crumbly because I used almond meal rather than flour. The main difference is the way the almonds are processed so the texture will be more coarse since almond meal is less processed than than almond flour.
Nothing to worry about. You can use meal or flour here in this recipe. The stores only had almond meal so I grabbed it and started in the kitchen! The base of this recipe is the same as the original but I just added more flavors. Super versatile so add or take away what you don’t like!
I use jarred sun-dried tomatoes for two reasons. One, if brings more flavor. Two, they don’t dry out. Use any many as you like, 1/4 cup would be max in this recipe.

I make these a lot with butter but you can sub olive oil if you like. Add your favorite seasonings and cheese to keep it simple for your next meal with these sensational biscuits!
