Fluffy, soft vegan biscuits are so easy to make! They require just 1 bowl, 7 ingredients and 30 minutes. Oil free and wholesome, but not sacrificing on taste!
In case you are worried that these vegan biscuits taste too “healthy” because they don’t have any oil or vegan butter, let me tell you, I would not have posted them if that was the case!
I have made these easy vegan biscuits several times now, and they never cease to amaze me! When I first was testing out a vegan biscuit recipe, I tried a version using vegan butter. They were good, but I wanted to see if I could come up with a recipe using simpler ingredients that would taste just as good or better.
Well, it was successful! These are much easier than regular homemade biscuits. With no butter to cut in, it makes the recipe faster and simpler. Plus, vegan butter is expensive, and I like to save it for special dessert recipes, such as these Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies or my Vegan Chocolate Cake.
How do you make Easy Vegan Biscuits?
Stir the apple cider vinegar into the non-dairy milk and set aside.
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Mix in the milk/vinegar mixture and stir.
Dump onto a floured surface, and gently work it together with your hands. Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter and bake for 12 minutes at 425 degrees F.

Easy Vegan Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 cups all purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Stir the apple cider vinegar into the non-dairy milk and set aside to curdle.
- Whisk the 4 cups flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Pour the milk/vinegar mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix. Avoid over stirring.
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface and gently work it together with your hands, adding a little more flour if it's too sticky. Roll the dough about 1/2 inch thick, then use a biscuit cutter and cut out the biscuits. Continue re-rolling the dough until you have used it all.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Bake for about 12 minutes until light golden brown and fluffy. Allow to cool for a few minutes, serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- I used cashew milk, but you can use any non-dairy milk such as: soy, coconut or almond milk. Just make sure it's unsweetened and unflavored.
- May substitute whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour. I haven't tested it with gluten free flour.
- May use almond meal instead of almond flour.

These biscuits are amazing! They are light, fluffy and delicious. I have tried so many no oil biscuits without success. I am absolutely delighted that my hunt for the perfect no oil biscuit is over! Thank you for sharing your deliciousness!
Nora
You’re so welcome! Glad you enjoy them!

could i use chick pea flour instead of almond flour?
Nora
I haven’t worked much with chickpea flour so I’m honestly not sure if it would work or not, sorry!
JIll
What is the best kind of non-dairy milk for this recipe? Thanks
Nora
I like unsweetened, plain soy milk the best, but I have also used almond, cashew and coconut milk.
Chrissie
Nora, thank you for a great recipe! This is so delicious. I have been searching for a biscuit recipe that has very minimal oil/fat and then I came across you’re no oil biscuit recipe. It’s so fluffy and soft. My non vegan family could not believe how good the biscuits were. Thank you!

Is there any sub for almond flour? We have a nut allergy. Xx
Nora
You could probably use more regular flour instead of almond flour. I think it should work fine. The fat in the almond flour helps the flavor and texture since there is no oil or vegan butter added, but it should work okay without it. Thanks!
John
Any possible substitutes for the apple cider vinegar?
Nora
Lemon juice or regular white vinegar would work as well.
AnnMarie
Could I use whole wheat flour?
Nora
Yes you could use whole wheat flour.
sally
Could you just make a drop biscuit
Nora
Yes you can do that if you want.
Danielle
Do you think that I could substitute oat flour to make this gluten free?
Nora
Possibly, but I’m not sure how well it would work because I haven’t tried it. I think you may have better luck with an all purpose gluten free flour mix.
Tina
Ho there. Does the almond flour make a big difference? I don’t typically use it. Thank you for recipe.
Nora
It does make all the difference in this recipe, because there is no vegan butter or other fat source. Thank you!
Casey
Made these this morning and my husband gobbled them up! He is not a fan of vegan butter (due to all the artificial ingredients) so I was SO glad to see a biscuit recipe without it. Thank you! This is a new family favorite.
Nora
I’m so happy you all enjoyed the biscuits! We just love them.
ali
