Paleo Coconut Flour Cheddar-Style Biscuits
Grain-free biscuits that deliver satisfying savory flavor through nutritional yeast and garlic powder, creating a cheese-like taste without dairy. The coconut flour base produces tender, slightly dense biscuits perfect for paleo dieters or those avoiding gluten. These work beautifully as a breakfast side, dinner roll substitute, or snack. What makes this version special is the clever use of nutritional yeast to mimic cheddar flavor while keeping the recipe completely plant-based and paleo-compliant.

FAQ
Can I make these without nutritional yeast?
Yes, but you'll lose the cheese-like flavor. Try adding extra garlic powder and herbs for savory taste.
What if my batter seems too wet?
Coconut flour absorbs moisture slowly. Let batter sit 5 minutes before adding more flour if still too wet.
How long do these keep frozen?
They freeze well for up to one month. Thaw overnight in refrigerator or warm briefly in oven.
