Vegan Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons melted coconut oil, divided
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Get your oven heating to 450 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything is evenly combined.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of the melted coconut oil into the flour mixture, then whisk it through so the oil is worked evenly into the dry ingredients.
4. In a separate bowl, stir the almond milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract together. Make a little hollow in the middle of the flour mixture, then pour in the almond milk mixture along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil.
5. Stir with a gentle hand, just until the dough comes together. Don’t fuss with it too much. If it seems overly dry, sprinkle in a few drops of water.
6. Divide the dough into 6 roughly even portions, then spoon them onto a greased baking sheet, or one lined with parchment or silicone, spacing them 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the 450 degrees F oven for 11 to 13 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and the biscuits don’t sink when you press them gently.
8. Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before eating. They’re best warm.
9. If you’d like to freeze them, let them cool to room temperature, then place them in a freezer bag.
