This is the BEST Vegan Biscuit Recipe! These easy homemade biscuits are easy to make and free from any dairy or oil. You need a few simple ingredients, 1 bowl, and less than 30 minutes. Healthy, wholesome, and delicious!

OK, folks, I am super excited about this recipe and I’ve been wanting to share it for quite some time! And, for a couple of reasons. One, I LOVE homemade biscuits. And, second, my wife developed this recipe. She’s more of the baker in the family and she’s hot! Just had to throw that in there.

But, that’s not all that makes this biscuit recipe special. I will explain.

My wife is from Tennessee and I’m from Mississippi so we have very high biscuit standards. We don’t do that pop-top canned crap from the grocery store here in the south. That’s heresy, my friend. Families have been known to go to war over such things.

So, we knew if were going to make biscuits that we, and our extended families, would enjoy and approve they’d have to reach a certain standard.

I believe, after some trial and error, that’s what we’ve done. And, we kept these biscuits healthy too. There’s no oil, no fake or real butter, and no dairy. And, THEY ARE DELICIOUS!

How delicious? Like, I would gladly serve these to my grandmother who made the best homemade biscuits.

Let’s do it!

How Do You Make the Best Vegan Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice into unsweetened almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or non-dairy milk of your choice. Set it aside and allow it to curdle to make “buttermilk.” You’re essentially going to be making vegan buttermilk biscuits. (FYI, I used unsweetened almond milk)

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together until everything is well combined. I used organic unbleached flour but whole wheat flour, white whole wheat flour, or whole wheat pastry flour works great as well.

Biscuit dough rolled out on floured service.

Now, gently cut the applesauce into the flour mixture using a whisk or a fork. You’re going for a crumbly mixture that has little lumpy bits.

Using a large wooden spoon, slowly add the milk and apple cider mixture and slowly fold it in until the dough is sticky. But, be gentle! The less the dough is “handled” the better. You don’t want to over mix.

Drop the biscuit dough onto a floured surface, sprinkle a little more flour onto the top of your dough, and flour your rolling pin. Gently roll or press the dough out to ½″ thickness. Again, being gentle is key!

Use a jar, small drinking glass, or pastry cutter for your desired size and cut the biscuits.

Layout the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet until the biscuits are almost touching or are just touching one another.

Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the tops are golden. Remove the vegan biscuits from the oven, let them cool for just a few minutes, and ENJOY! You just made biscuits.
