These dairy free drop biscuits require only a few ingredients, and come together super quickly. These are a basic biscuit – but you can always jazz it up by adding a tablespoon of chives, garlic, rosemary, etc. They can be customized for any taste.

We were having roasted vegetables and I wanted to have something a little  more filling on the side. These biscuits were ready in 30 minutes, I made them while dinner was roasting in the oven.

Delicious Drop Biscuits that Go Quick!

This recipe makes an even dozen of biscuits. Great for dinner with the family, as these will go fast!  My husband and I each had one biscuit for dinner… and when I went to clean up later, 4 more were gone. Apparently these were a huge hit with the hubby.

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!

How Do I Make Drop Biscuits With No Butter?

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, move rack to center. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Once finished, remove biscuits from oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
