Dairy Free Biscuits Recipe (No Milk or Butter)

This dairy free biscuits recipe is light, flaky baking powder biscuit recipe ready in 30 minutes! Plant-based and dairy free. Great with jam or avocado for breakfast, served with soup, on top of pot pie, or just eaten plain.

This is also a fantastic pantry staple biscuits recipe – easy to make with ingredients you have in your cupboard!  Serve these biscuits with blackberry chia seed jam, and fresh creamy dairy free butter.

These easy dairy free biscuits come together super quickly, are full of plant based ingredients, and are great to meal prep on the weekends. They are a fantastic side with breakfasts, soups or stews, and are simple to make without milk or butter.

I first made these biscuits to serve on top of a veggie pot pie I was making. They were so good with the rich and creamy pot pie sauce!  I’m glad I made a double batch because they were fantastic to toast up for breakfast the next day too.

I first made these biscuits to top my Vegetable Pot Pie recipe, which was fantastic on its own, but really transformed into something AMAZING with these biscuits on top! I was able to make the biscuits quickly while the pot pie was cooking on the stove top, so they didn’t really add and additional cooking time to my night.

These Dairy Free Biscuits Are:

• Fluffy
• Fresh
• Salted
• Warm
• Moist
• Crumbly
• Easy to Make!

Make Ahead Biscuits Without Milk or Butter

This non dairy biscuits recipe is a fantastic and simple bread to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.  I like to prep one (or a few) of these ahead of time, and freeze some for later.  Having ready cooked meals in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked meals when you don’t have time in the kitchen.  Freezing ingredients is also a great way to use up food that may be expiring soon.  Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspiration to help you prep, keep, heat, and heat!

• All Purpose Flour: I use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces.
• Baking Powder: I like this low sodium baking powder which is great for keeping the sodium down in baked goods.
• Baking Soda: I love keep baking soda in the pantry for baking, and also for cleaning.  This baking soda works great for both.
• Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• Vegan Butter
• Almond Milk – plain and unsweetened!  The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.  I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe.
• Lemon juice

Make Biscuits Dairy Free for a Healthy Version

This dairy free biscuits recipe is a fantastic take on the classic without all the dairy. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.

I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

How Do You Make Biscuits With No Milk or Butter?

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
3. Cut the cold vegan butter into small chunks and work it by hand into the dry ingredients until the flour becomes dotted with butter. If you don’t have vegan butter, you can use shortening as a substitute.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and stir well until a shaggy dough forms.
5. I hand-rolled the biscuits, forming into 2 inch balls and gently pressing them in my palms to flatten slightly. But you can use a biscuit cutter if desired.
6. Place the biscuits on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and cook for 12-15 minutes until they begin to brown.
7. Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
