Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or 3/4 cup flour + 1/4 cup wheat germ or bran)
- 2 Tbsp refined coconut oil, solid in small pieces
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or non-dairy milk), unsweetened + additional 1 Tbsp (if the dough isn't fully sticking).

- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional for sweet biscuit)
- 3/4 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 Tbsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 Tbsp optional: cinnamon spice (can sub with 1/4 Tbsp maple syrup and 1/4 Tbsp cinnamon if you want more sweet)
Instructions
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in a bowl. Fully incorporate all the ingredients by hand.
- Chill dough in fridge for 10 minutes. No need to wrap/cover (unless you will be baking the biscuits later).
- Hand fold dough several times. The dough should be loose and a little moist.
- Cut out biscuit with biscuit cutters (or an empty 15 oz. metal can). This makes 1- large 3" biscuit, or 2- 1.5" biscuits.
- Brush oil on top(s).
- Bake at 425°F/218°C for 16-18 minutes until warm golden brown all around. Optional: For additional crunch, turn oven down to 350°F/180°C and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
