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!
I made this recipe with shredded carrot (I add carrot to everything) and I found they were pretty much the same as without except this time they’re oranger and more carroty haha. Sweet potato would be excellent as well!!

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!
