Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon natural garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon and Cheese: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp but not overly dry. Chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces. Grate the plant-based cheese and set both aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, natural baking powder, natural garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut oil. Slowly add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently until the batter thickens and comes together. Add the natural gelling agent if using for more structured biscuits.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Fold the chopped smoked turkey bacon and shredded plant-based cheese evenly into the batter to distribute the flavors and protein-rich elements.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop the batter into biscuit-sized mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Gently fold ingredients to avoid overmixing and maintain a tender texture.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Adjust biscuit size to suit your preference: smaller for snacks, larger for a hearty meal.
- Ensure accurate oven temperature for even baking and a perfect golden crust.
