Cheesy Coconut Flour Biscuits

Cheesy Coconut Flour Biscuits

 

Warm,flaky, crumbly, cheesy biscuits...  That you can eat without the CARBS!!!  These are the perfect accompaniment to bowl of spicy gumbo - or just about any other food.

¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
1/3 cup sifted coconut flour
4 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Blend together eggs, coconut oil or butter, salt, and onion powder. 
Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk into batter until there are no lumps. Fold in cheese. 
Drop batter by the spoonful onto a greased cookie sheet. 
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. 

Cook's Notes:
For a cheesier biscuit increase cheese to ¾ cup.
For a real treat, add a teaspoon of finely chopped green onions or instant Ranch Dressing powder

This recipe makes about 10 biscuits.

 

 

I am so going to try those.

Wow, looks good!.  Where did you find coconut flour? Is there a brand name I should be looking for? 

I have seen at least three different brands of coconut flour at Whole Foods.  I cannot honestly remember the brands that are there though.  I think that one of them is Bob's Red Mill.

Also links I have found for other sources and brands ...

Here are some articles about cooking with coconut flour.  It can be a little tricky as it is very good at absorbing liquids.

They look good they remind me of the biscuits at Red Lobster.  Yum.  Anything w/ cheddar cheese is yummy.  Thanks for posting this.

Question it's says " (u) sifted (u) coconut flour".  Is that mean it should be sifted or doesn't the u stand for unsifted?

Nah those are some html tags that got in somehow. They are used to underline the word in between them. Answer is sifted.

I edited and fixed the post now. 

I never used coconut flour.  Where do you get it a specialty store?  They look really yummy!

 

Thanks for sharing!
