Vegan Coconut Oil Biscuits

I was so excited to find that coconut oil was the main ingredient in these Vegan Coconut Oil Biscuits since I’m always trying to find ways to incorporate more coconut oil into our meals.

Coconut oil replaces the butter in traditional homemade biscuit recipes and makes these so light and velvety they almost melt in your mouth!

As a child, I grew up with biscuits made with “Bisquick”, and as you can see from the ingredient list below, it’s not very good.

The biscuits were always good, but not with the bleached flour, GMO soybean oil, and highly refined salt.

The store-bought “biscuits in a can” are just as bad with a similar ingredient list:

S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Bisquick All Purpose Baking Mix Ingredients:

Ingredients:  Flour Enriched Bleached (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Vitamin B3, Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate Vitamin B1, Riboflavin Vitamin B2, Folic Acid Vitamin B9), Soybeans Oil Partially Hydrogenated, and/or Cottonseed Oil Partially Hydrogenated, Leavening (Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Dextrose, Salt 

S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Pillsbury Grand Buttermilk Biscuits Ingredients:

Ingredients:  Flour Bleached Enriched (Flour Bleached, Niacin Vitamin B3, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate Vitamin B1, Riboflavin Vitamin B2, Folic Acid, Vitamin B9), Buttermilk, Soybeans Oil Partially Hydrogenated (with Citric Acid to Protect Flavor), Sugar, Baking Powder (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate), Salt, Xanthan Gum

You are able to control the quality of ingredients with this homemade version by using unbleached, organic flour, unrefined salt, and organic coconut oil.

They were really quick to make and are vegan and dairy-free.   And, I have a Gluten-Free Vegan Biscuit recipe too!
