Some of the things I missed most when I became gluten free were the breads, muffins and biscuits. Thankfully I don’t miss them anymore, but I think this was a big hurdle for me. I have always loved to cook, but I have never been a huge baker. That’s why these easy gluten free biscuits have been such an answered prayer.
Do you crave the taste of a warm breakfast biscuit? Do you dread the work involved in baking them. Well I am here to tell you, look no further.
In my last post of Paola’s Pantry (that’s my pantry) I wrote about how I love making easy pancakes with Gluten Free Bisquick. I was thrilled to discover that this one mix can also yield some of the very best gluten free biscuits around.

To some I know this information may not be revolutionary because there is a biscuit recipe on the back of the box. However, given our other allergies, I had to make a couple of changes to the existing recipe and the results are so delicious.
After the first time I made these, they have become a weekly staple in my home.
The recipe on the back of the box calls for the following:
- 2 cups of GF Bisquick
- 2/3 cup of milk
- 1/3 cup of shortening
- 3 eggs
This is the recipe I created since we are also dairy and egg free. We love it!
- 2 cups GF Bisquick
- 2/3 cup SO Delicious brand coconut milk
- 1/3 Spectrum Shortening
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
While I preheat my oven to 400 degrees, I mix this batter in my KitchenAid stand mixer. I then take a paper towel with a little spectrum shortening and pretreat a muffin top pan. Next, I put tablespoonfuls of batter in each shallow circle, filling all 12. Once the oven is preheated, I bake the biscuits for 13 minutes.
**It is very important to let these biscuits cool completely before removing them from the pan.
These biscuits were a huge win for everyone in our family. My son absolutely loves them loaded with Applegate Bacon.
My Mommysaving tip
I am all about saving mom some time. Although these biscuits do not take a long time to make it’s always nice when you can make them ahead and freeze them. This is exactly what I do! I will make a batch of 12 biscuits and freeze what we do not eat in a zip lock bag to enjoy throughout the week.
I hope you love these biscuits as much as we do. I have only tried to make these using my substitution recipe. I would love to hear how they turn out using the recipe on the back of the box.
