My family sometimes jokes about all the food allergies we have in our house. I’m celiac, and other members of the fam are allergic to dairy and eggs. Plus we eat mostly paleo. So this makes baking somewhat of a challenge at times.
Most of the gluten-free or grain-free breads out there either contain eggs or dairy. Or grains. So biscuits and bread are usually out of the question when our family eats a meal together.
Fed up with this situation, I decided to create a recipe for an AIP biscuit that everybody can eat. Plus I figured I could just make it nut-free while I was at it.
This biscuit recipe is the result. It’s flaky and tastes like there’s cheese. It’s perfect with a soup or roasted meat. Slather with some butter if you can tolerate it, or dairy-free butter if you can’t.

I can’t have any grains, eggs or dairy, Of all the foods I’m allergic to, I miss bread the most, and all of the recipes I found call for rice or bean flour, eggs, milk, etc. I just purchased plantain flour, and cassava flour,LOL I had never heard of ether one of these flours, but was praying that I would find a recipe to make some type of bread. Thanks for sharing this recipe, It sounds like a winner to me. I’ll pick up the yeast, coconut flour and the apple sauce tomorrow, I’m so excited just knowing that I will be eating hot bread tomorrow evening…Thanks again, Peace-N-Blessings.
