Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup Hoenyville Almond Flour
- 4 Cups Raw Broccoli Florets (10 Oz.)
- 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese (4.5 Oz)
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (or melted butter)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Paprika
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Pepper
- 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Once done, measure out 10 Oz of broccoli florets.
- Put your broccoli florets into your food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, I recommend the one I use – it lasts a long time and it’s really cheap considering how useful it is.
- Pulse your broccoli florets in the food processor until it’s finely chopped. I do this in small batches, remove the broccoli, and add more to the food processor.
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 1/2 Cup Almond Flour, 1 tsp. Salt, 1 tsp. Paprika, 1 tsp. Garlic Powder, 1/2 tsp. Pepper, and 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda.
- Mix the spices and almond flour together, then add 2 large eggs and 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (or melted butter).
- Mix the eggs and oil (or butter) together with the almond flour until a dough forms.
- Add your broccoli to the mixture.
- Combine everything well using your hands.
- Grate 4.5 Oz. Cheddar Cheese (about 2 cups). I grate my own cheese now because you will find excess carbs from pre-shredded cheese. They normally coat the cheese with corn starch so that it doesn’t stick together.
- Add your cheese to the dough.
- Mix together everything with your hands again, until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout.
- Put your nonstick silpat on a cookie sheet so that they don’t stick as they cook. Form patties out of the dough – you should be able to make 12.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they start to get flattened.
- Using a spoon and your fingers, mold the flattened biscuits into a more biscuit like shape. Add some contours and texture around them.
- Continue baking for about 5 minutes. Then, turn your oven to broil and broil the biscuits for 3-5 minutes.
- Let the biscuits cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove them from your silpat and place them on a cookie sheet. Cool for 5-10 minutes and serve!
