8 tablespoons coconut flour
4 tablespoons flax meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 teaspoons garlic powder, optional
4 teaspoons coconut oil
4 eggs
4 tablespoons greek yogurt or sour cream
1/2 cup – 1 cup water

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Melt coconut oil then add to dry ingredients. Mix well.

Next combine eggs, greek yogurt or sour cream and add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Add water a small amount at a time until you get a muffin batter consistency.

Grease a 12 cup muffin pan with coconut oil and divide batter evenly among the cups.

Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a biscuit comes out clean and the tops are lightly browned.

Joy, your baking powder may be flat, as these worked fine for me.  Quoting someone Google found,

To test if baking powder is still active, spoon 1/2 teaspoon in a bowl and pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) of boiling water over it. Right away it should bubble up violently. If it does, it’s still good.

Interesting recipe for me, specifically in that I’m wondering (hoping) to substitute Einkorn flour for the coconut flour. That’s chiefly because I have plenty of Einkorn on hand but no Coconut flour. What do you think?

I would like to know how to get a better “rise” out of the bisquit. Mine tasted delicious but were a little flat.  BUT I absolutely would make this recipe again.  Love these.  Great job Dawn from Syracuse.
