Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Breakfast Biscuits

I love southern comfort food and nothing says southern comfort like a biscuit – that savory, crumbly baked good which demands to be warmed and topped with butter.

This is exactly what this week’s delight, Gluten-free, Dairy-free Breakfast Biscuits offer. The traditional biscuit texture plus, bacon, onion, red pepper, garlic and spinach all wrapped up into a tasty package.

Enjoy!

Breakfast Biscuits by Laura Friendly Start to Finish: 1 hour Makes: 12 biscuits

• 1 cup soy milk, room temperature
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves roasted garlic, minced
• 4 scallions, chopped
• 8 slices crispy cooked gluten-free bacon, diced (remove as much fat as possible)
• 1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese, optional
• 3 cups all purpose gluten-free flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup grapeseed oil
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Spray a muffin tin with vegan cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy milk with lemon juice. Allow to sit for 15 minutes (this becomes a vegan buttermilk).
3. In a saute pan, over medium heat, saute red peppers for 5 minutes. Add in scallions, garlic and bacon, saute for 2 minutes. Add in spinach and saute until wilted. Allow to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, thyme, salt and pepper.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: vegan buttermilk, oil, eggs and maple syrup.
6. Add wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to create a thick batter. Note: I use my KitchenAid mixer for this step
7. Using a large spatula, fold cooled vegetables, bacon and vegan cheese into the batter.
8. Divide batter into oiled muffin tins — they will be quite full. Lightly grease your fingers and gently press/shape the tops of each biscuit.
9. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean.
10. Allow pan to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then remove biscuits from tin and cool on a wire rack.

Note: Store covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
