These dairy free cheese biscuits are also gluten free and can be made vegan with an egg substitute. They are fluffy and cheesy and go great with soup, stew or just as a snack.

Recipes substitutions and variations

Gluten free flour substitutions: If you arenβt able to find the Robin Hood gluten-free flour blend, you can swap it out for rice flour or any other blend. Try to look for a blend that contains rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch and xanthan gum. This will give you the most consistent result. You can also swap it out for 1 to 1.5 cups of cassava flour. If you use cassava flour, you will need less than the 2 cups that this recipe calls for because it absorbs a lot more liquid.
Butter substitutions: Instead of vegan butter, you can also use regular cowβs milk butter if you tolerate dairy. Feel free to use any brand of oil-based vegan butter. I have found that cashew based vegan butter doesnβt give a consistent result.
Dairy free cheddar shred substitutions: Instead of using dairy free cheddar style shreds, you can also use dairy free parmesan shreds or mozzarella shreds. Feel free to also use regular cowβs milk cheddar cheese shreds if you tolerate dairy.
Dairy free milk substitutions: I often use oat milk in my baking, but you can use any type of dairy free milk including coconut, almond, cashew, macadamia, etc.
Egg substitutions: Instead of using regular eggs, feel free to use an egg substitute such as chia, flax or gelatin eggs. If you use an egg substitute, you may need to bake the biscuits a bit longer than this recipe calls for.
Dietary modifications for this recipe
Make this recipe vegan: Omit the egg and replace it with an egg substitute such as chia, flax or gelatin eggs.
Make this recipe lower oxalate: Make sure to use coconut milk and ensure that your dairy free cheese shreds and butter do not contain cashews. Use a white rice based flour blend.
Make this recipe paleo/grain free: swap out the 2 cups of gluten-free flour for 1 to 1.5 cups of cassava flour.
How to make these gluten free dairy free biscuits
- Mix all of your dry ingredients together in a stand mixer or large bowl including your gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt. If you are using salted butter in this recipe, omit the additional ΒΌ teaspoons salt.

2. Add the dairy free cheddar style shreds into your dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

3. Add all of the remaining wet ingredients including melted butter, eggs, and dairy free milk.

4. Mix thoroughly in your stand mixer or large bowl until everything is fully incorporated. Your dough should be wet and sticky.

5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Using a spoon, form 8 biscuits on your parchment paper lined baking sheet. Use the back of your spoon to smooth out the dough into biscuit shapes.

7. Bake your biscuits at 350 Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

Pro tips for this recipe:
Make sure you melt the butter
For this recipe, it is super important that you melt the butter before adding it to your mixer. Otherwise, it can be hard to break down/mix in and it will change the consistency of the dough and make it more dry and crumbly.
Make sure your dough is wet and sticky
If your biscuit dough seems too dry, add some additional dairy free milk until you have achieved a wet and sticky consistency (see example photo above in blog post). Your dough also should not be too runny.
