Delicious Drop Biscuits that Go Quick!

These are so easy and can be whipped up with a hot batch of soup, made ahead for hosting a brunch, or to just eat as a snack! Top with easy chia seed jam, mashed avocado, or your favorite spread and enjoy!
What’s In Dairy Free Drop Biscuits?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- All Purpose Flour: I use all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish. If you want to keep it a little wholesome, you can use half whole wheat flour as well.
- Granulated Sugar
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt: or a salt substitute
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda: I love keep baking soda in the pantry for baking, and also for cleaning. Â This baking soda works great for both.
- Almond Milk –Â I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe. I prefer almond milk.
How Do I Make Drop Biscuits With No Butter?
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, move rack to center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to combine ingredients. Pour in the olive oil and almond milk and gently fold the dough until it thickens.
- Place about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each biscuit on the parchment paper – no need to form them, just drop them on the sheet pan.
- Put the biscuits in the oven and bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating the sheet pan halfway during cooking. Bake until the top of the biscuits are lightly browned.
- Once finished, remove biscuits from oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
