Vegan Cheddar & Chive Biscuits
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 6-10 biscuits depending on size 1x
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, plus additional for rolling
- 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 Teaspoon Salt (Kosher or Table Salt)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, very cold (8 tbsp)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Chives, Chopped
- 1 cup Follow Your Heart Shredded Vegan Cheddar
- 3/4 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
- Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper; whisk well to combine.
- Add the vegan butter to the flour and using your fingertips rub the butter into the mix, stopping when the mixture is a coarse meal.
- Stir in the chives and vegan cheddar.
- Gradually add the almond milk and stir with a fork just until a messy (sticky) ball is formed. You may not use all the milk.
- Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead (with very floured hands) until the dough has been worked into a ball; about 6-7 times should do it. Don’t overwork the dough as they won’t rise well. Less kneading is better.
- Pat the ball down into a 1″ thick round, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out as many rounds as possible, re-rolling the scraps as needed. If you’re like me and prefer layers, I like to fold the dough a few times, then cut out the biscuits to create larger ones with more layers.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet bottom side up as it should be more flat. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes

Thanks for the recipe. Can I sub Almond flour or coconut flour for all purpose flour?
Hi Cynthia! I would not sub for alternative flours to make a biscuit recipe as the result will be nothing like the traditional variety. You may be able to achieve something with almond flour, but coconut flour has a high absorbency and typically just ruins recipes.
Hi can I substitute the almond milk with oat milk?
Hi Cindy! Absolutely.
These were good with nice texture. I can’t get Follow Your Heart brand where I live so I used Violife Epic Cheddar block, which I think along with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar was just a tad too sweet for my taste. I will definitely try again with maybe half the sugar and/or a different vegan cheddar. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Karen! I was in a big biscuit phase for a while so I have tons of recipes!
