Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Dairy-free cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the coconut oil into small chunks and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Step 5
Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
