Aunt Rocky’s Cheddar Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with silicone mat or parchment paper, set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk coconut flour, oat fiber, salt, nutritional yeast, and baking powder until there are no lumps of coconut flour.

In a medium mixing bowl, melt coconut oil. Add eggs and whisk until completely blended.

Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and quickly whisk until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese and mix with a spoon until cheese is incorporated. Batter will thicken quickly, so a whisk won’t work well.

Drop onto baking sheet, evenly dividing into 12 biscuits (about 2 tablespoons each). The biscuits will puff a little, but won’t spread much at all.

Bake 15 minutes. Immediately transfer to cooling rack.

Best served warm. Can be reheated in the microwave for 15 seconds or so. Leftovers may be frozen.

Notes:
• I’ve made these using butter instead of coconut oil, and they were a bit dry. They come out best with coconut oil. I use refined coconut oil so that there is no coconut flavor in the biscuits.
• Oat fiber is made from the hull of the oat plant, not the grain. It is 100% fiber. For that reason most ketoers find it acceptable. I use Lifesource Oat Fiber 500 to assure a product free from gluten cross contamination. If gluten is not an issue for you, use whatever brand is cheapest.
