Delicious! My first bread after 3 weeks of no gluten, no sugar, corn and dairy. Baked for 15 minutes and made 5 biscuits instead of 10. Made them with butter but garnished with ghee and fruit only strawberry jam. OMG!! So happy they out so wonderfully. They were light and delicious. More crumbly than normal biscuit but it didn’t matter. Great recipe. A million thanks!
One more thing… I used almond milk .
@Rozzieree I am so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
Made this recipe this morning. I was very disappointed. The structure of the biscuit was awesome, but the after taste from what I suspect is the baking soda made them inedible. A huge disappointed on Christmas morning ….
OOPs… I may have to try these again and put my glasses on before I start. Just realized, I used baking soda not baking powder… My apologies… 🙁
I added a little honey to the mix. My family loved them! Mine were flat so next time I know to make sure each spoonful is round ed. I drizzled more honey over them and had them with coffee. Delicious!

I might have had a crack at this recette, except for the fact that measurements are in “cups”. What’s wrong with grams and litres. They are a standard which cannot be mistaken and is a constant.
@Peter Hill Here in the States, we usually use measurements in “cups”…there are plenty of converters out there that can quickly adapt the recipe to your liking. Here is one for you… http://southernfood.about.com/library/info/blconv.htm
I’m in Canada and I still don’t like metric for baking. Lol
I see you mentioned the baking powder…. they were a bit salty for me, but yummy with vegan butter and jam.

I just made these and they taste delicious! I have one question though, mine came out really flat, any ideas why?
@Meghan327 add a little more oat flour and that should fix your problem. Glad you enjoyed them!
Mine came out flat as well, had a feeling they would because the batter was a bit runny. Next time will add more flour, and in the meantime… oat pancakes! Still wonderful, especially since I have been craving bread for a week.
try adding 1Tbsp of mayo to your wet ingredients. I tried it after reading the flat result comments. They turned out delicious!!! i also used almond milk!
★★★★★
Made this recipe. Added some honey, vanilla, and cinnamon. Good taste, but didn’t rise well. Thoughts?
@Kelly drop biscuits usually don’t rise as high, you can try adding a bit more flour, that should help.
Cinnamon stops things from rising. That’s eh incoming pancakes are on the flatter side.
I made these for my boy friend he’s completely gluten free and has not had a decent piece of bread in three years. These came out so beautiful and fluffy I ate one and was impressed. I followed the recipe but added about a tsp of xanthiam gum ( because any time you try to make any gluten free bread sometimes it stays together and sometimes not.) before I dropped the biscuits I too noticed the batter was a bit flat so I added about 2 tsp of flour to the batter and they turned out great.
Hi Kelly,
I have nephews that have severe allergies to almost every possible allergen, so question is what can be used in place of whole milk besides coconut milk? Can we use soy? Also, in place of the egg, do you think the ‘chia’ egg would be best? I am making them for myself right now with the regular ingredients but this would be wonderful for my nephews if I can replace some ingredients. Thanks!
Hi! Would adding sweet potato to biscuit change the dynamic that much? Trying to think of a Thanksgiving meal option to bring that is healthy and holiday-ish. Thanks! : )
That might be a fun recipe to experiment with. If you do add them, I would shred the sweet potato pretty finely. Let us know how it turns out!
Monica, Just saw your comment. I used 1T Flaxmeal mixed with 3T water for egg. I also used Rice Nog instead of Milk. I also added a little more flour because batter was runny. But, they turned out good 🙂
I made these exactly as described with a bit of extra flour as suggested and they are fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

I love this recipe. Newly gluten free and was looking for a bread type recipe. Easy to make and delicious. I did have to add almost 1/2 cup more flour to make the batter a biscuit consistency.
My fault that time. I added too much milk.
I have been happily gluten free for a few years, and tried making these for the first time when I was visiting family who did not have any gluten free flour stocked ( they eat wheat) … this was just the recipe I was looking for, as they did have oats. I used whole milk yogurt instead of the milk, which gave them a bit more protein and may have helped keep them from flattening out. They were everything I hope for in a biscuit: moist, tender, hearty, satisfying, and disappeared quickly. I really appreciate simple gluten free recipes like this which do not require a lot of special ingredients requiring that I go shopping!! Thank you for creating and sharing it. I am going to try making it with some savory additions, like herbs or pecans , or maybe cheese and turkey bacon.
★★★★
Sounds delicious! I will have to try your variations. Thanks for sharing!
Does anyone have tips on baking these in the High Desert? In 4 years, I can’t seem to bake a decent type of bread. Flat and crumbly but I’m not blaming the recipe, just the climate. Thanks!

Hi Lee,
I live in Helena, MT 4,300ft.
I’ve made these before & they turned out fine, but a little crumbly. Not falling apart tho.
I actually made these vegan & heated up the non dairy milk.
I’ve read elsewhere to always use warm ingredients for gluten free baking.
Hope this helps!
Hey I was just wondering if I could use my bag of organic whole oats to make this reciepe? What do you think?
That’s what I use. I just put the oats in the blender 😉
I have made these a few times and they are great! My son has a long list of food allergies so it’s a challenge to find alternatives that we all like. These are a great option.

I was looking for a super quick, gluten free bread, and these fit the bill perfectly. Everyone liked them! I even subbed about a fourth of the oat flour for buckwheat flour, and ghee in place of regular butter. I also added about half the coconut milk. Usually I try to soak grains before using, but this was a great compromise for a busy night with a dinner guest. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Happy you enjoyed them Hannah, and I will have to try your version! 🙂
I’ve made these delicious biscuit several times and would like to know if the dough can be refrigerated overnight and baked the following morning? Also, do the baked biscuits freeze/reheat well?
Thank you for this easy and healthy recipe!
I’m not sure how the dough would hold up overnight, I have not tested that. I would assume it would be best to make right away. As for reheating and freezing, you can do both well with this recipe.
I just got done making these. Oh my goodness, they are wonderful!
Glad you are enjoying them April!
Just made recipe, taste great – they are a little small, so I think next time I will just double recipe. Just had one with a dab of honey-really good.
Are you able to sub buttermilk for coconut milk?
Yep, buttermilk will work out just fine.
These were really great! I made a couple, slight variations. I upped the butter by 1/2 T and added a t of sugar. Reading the comments I used a slightly heaping cup of oat flour. I was surprised at how much these biscuits tasted like Bisquick (which I have missed) despite having no buttermilk in them. They’re crumbly, which could be solved with gum or egg, but I decided I was fine with the crumbles, choosing flavor over the ease of picking up the biscuit itself. I also lowered the temp to 400 degrees. These biscuits weren’t in the least bit dry and tasted so much like the ones I used to eat. Actually, better, if I’m honest. You made a GF recipe better than the gluten variety. ?
Love your variations, thanks for sharing Lorraine.
Surprisingly delicious, with a true biscuit texture! I used store-bought coconut milk, and put it in the blender. Instead of butter, I used 4-1\2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Thanks for posting this delectable recipe!

Mine are cooling at this moment!
I am trying to reduce carbs, so gluten-free and organic are not what I’m after. I used 1 1/2 cups of oat flour, added 1 tsp of vital wheat gluten (hoping to ‘get a rise out of them’), and used shortening and buttermilk (instead of butter and whole milk). I dropped six large biscuits and baked longer than 15 minutes to get a nice ‘brown’ on them. Now the result …
So … since I’m not used to eating gluten free, they aren’t as delicious as everyone touts … but that’s relative. If I had to eat gluten-free all the time, I would probably think they were superb. Next time I would definitely add a little sugar, eliminate the vwg (since there was no ‘rise’ anyway) and use butter instead of butter-flavored Crisco.
I’m also going to experiment with spelt flour biscuits, but am happy to have found this recipe!
★★★★
Loved it! I recently did a gut biome test and the results recommend minimizing all flours except oat flour. I was excited to find a baked good that fits my diet. I used light coconut milk, a tbs of arrowroot starch and no butter. I substituted butter with coconut oil. I also added 1/4 cup protein powder to fill me up a bit more.
Thanks again! Yum!
So happy I found this recipe! I ended up tweaking it a little bit but they still came out fluffy. I substituted the milk for unsweetened almond milk, 1 tblsp of each butter/coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. It was quick and simple to make, 5 nice size biscuits and it did not taste like cardboard. Thank you!
★★★★★
Thanks for this recipe. I added the mayo and cornstarch and they came out perfect. My only issue is that they were very salty. I used the amount in the recipe and unsalted butter not sure what happened but will try again.
★★★★
I used buttermilk, (they were delicious!) but would add a 2-3 teaspoons of sugar next time to approximate the delicious GW Fins biscuits in New Orleans, just to make them a bit more special.
★★★★★
Great biscuits even if you aren’t gluten free. They are fast and easy to make. No rolling required like regular biscuits. I’m only giving the recipe 3 stars though because the recipe doesn’t say to let your batter rest for at least 10 minutes before you bake them. It makes all the difference in the world!!! The first time I made them my family asked if the were sausage patties they were so flat, the next time I tried them I mixed all my ingredients together and then let my batter sit 10-20 min. before baking them. The oats absorb a lot of the liquid and the batter is much thicker. They came out of the oven beautifully fluffy.
This is gluten free so I don’t know what you’re talking about.
She means that even if you can tolerate gluten, you might want to make these anyway, inferring that they can compete with wheat biscuits. Hope that helps.
I’m a little confused on the parchment paper and the tray. You grease the paper with coconut oil? If so, would spray work?
Due to Thyroid issues I need to be Gluten and Dairy free, so this recipe was a great find.
Made the.for the first time a few weeks ago. My husband and friend both loved them.
Currently baking some more as I write this.
As some of the others did, I made less but larger biscuits. Used rice milk instead of coconut and also added about a tablespoon of raw sugar.
Love them. Thanks!
★★★★
These turned out amazing with my homemade strawberry jam as well!
I used almond milk and substituted the egg for a flax egg (to make it vegan), turned out great!
★★★★★
Thanks for posting that. I wasn’t sure about using almond milk and a flax egg, but now I’ll go ahead and give it a try!
Sorry. The most disgusting “bisquit” I have ever had. No. Not worth adjusting to try and fix. Mo flavor, terrible texture. Yuck.
★
Way too salty & not the right consistency or size for biscuits.
★★
So I tried this for the first time. Baked them two different ways after reading about the flatness when they bake. I used parchment cupcake liners and greased them with coconut oil and baked some in the cupcake pan and some on parchment on a baking sheet. Was very pleased with the way they baked in the cupcake pan! Nicely raised with a rounded top and cracked look. The ones on pan were flat as everyone else experienced. Will be making them as “muffins” from now on! Only added a little bit more oat flour as you suggested. But will only use a cup next time and let batter sit so oats will soak in wet ingredients.
Looks great! Is this moist enough for a ten month old? Any advice on making it moist enough?
WOW these are realllyyyyy good! Even my gluten eating husband thought they were amazing and asked for more 🙂
Few changes: I used refined coconut oil & 1/4 almond milk rather than the 1/3 the recipe calls for. I let the batter sit for 20 minutes after mixing (I wouldn’t skip this step), used a muffin tin to prevent spreading — 2 tbsp of batter each to make 5 biscuits.
SO GOOD!!!! Thank you ❤️

OMG I haven’t been so pleased with an oatmeal flour recipe yet. I had to add another half a cup of the flour to get the right consistency because I knew it was too wet And I also added honey like someone else had suggested. I will be making these on a regular basis. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
Has anyone tried using this recipe for a biscuit topping on a pot pie?
I was surprised at how good these were. They baked well and were simple to make. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again!

I have been eating an oat breakfast for awhile now to help lower my cholesterol. I want biscuits! I found your recipe and have made it exactly in the beginning and let it evolve over time. I use 1/4 t salt as I use 2 T melted butter. I’ve used buttermilk because I love it. I’ve added 1/4t xanthan gum, 2 T powdered milk, a pinch of soda, and more buttermilk until it looks smoother. I use my toaster oven at a lower temperature to help the inside get done. It is still a little crumbly but has great flavor. I have not tried the let the dough sit awhile technique but I’m sure I will some day. The recipe makes six drop biscuits and I call that 3 servings. Thanks so much for the original recipe. It gave me hope to be able cook with oat flour.
