I’ve said it time and time again, Living Lean is not about eating dull and boring foods. You can eat pretty much anything you like, as long as you prepare it with higher quality ingredients. And that’s exactly what we’re doing on today’s episode of Brad’s Cookbook.
This recipe idea came from a fellow Live Leaner who was looking for a healthy biscuit recipe. And we hit a home run with this moist and delicious gluten free paleo biscuits recipe.
This gluten free paleo biscuits recipe only uses 6 ingredients and takes approximately 20 minutes total for preparation and baking time.
How to make a gluten free paleo biscuits recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings : 4
INGREDIENTS
– 1 cup egg whites
– 1/4 cup coconut flour
– 3/4 cup almond flour (or ground up whole almonds in a blender)
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp Sea Salt (or pink Himalayan salt)
– 1 & 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
– avocado oil cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a muffin baking sheet. Spray with a little non-stick avocado oil cooking spray to ensure the biscuits don’t stick to the parchment paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 3/4 cup of almond flour (or ground up almonds), 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/4 tsp of sea salt (or pink himalayan salt), and finally 1 & 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil.
4. Stir up the mixture, then put it into the fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Add 6 egg whites to a separate bowl, then whisk them until frothy.
6. Add the 6 egg whites to the mixture then whisk until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.
7. Once the batter reaches the desired consistency, scoop 1/4 cup of batter and place it on the baking sheet. You can also use an ice cream scoop. If needed, with a fork, flatten and mold each to form the shape of a biscuit.
8. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 400F for 15 minutes, or until golden on top.
9. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

🏹 Essential Paleo Principles
- 🥩 Quality Protein Matters: Choose grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, wild-caught fish, or wild game whenever possible. The quality of your protein directly impacts nutritional value and inflammatory markers. Conventional meat is acceptable if grass-fed isn’t available, but avoid processed meats with added sugars or preservatives.
- 🥑 Embrace Healthy Fats: Don’t fear fat! Use coconut oil for cooking, drizzle olive oil on vegetables, add avocado slices, and snack on nuts and seeds. Healthy fats are essential for hormone production, brain function, and nutrient absorption. They also keep you satisfied between meals.
- 🌈 Eat the Rainbow: Incorporate vegetables and fruits of all colors to maximize phytonutrient diversity. Dark leafy greens, orange sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, purple cabbage—each color provides unique beneficial compounds. Aim for 6-9 servings of vegetables daily.
- 🚫 Read Labels Carefully: Even “paleo-friendly” packaged foods can contain hidden non-paleo ingredients. Watch for added sugars (including “natural” ones like agave), seed oils, preservatives, and additives. When in doubt, stick to single-ingredient whole foods.
- 🥜 Navigate Nuts Wisely: While nuts are paleo-approved, they’re calorie-dense and can trigger inflammation if overconsumed. Stick to a small handful (about 1 ounce) as a serving. Soak and roast nuts to improve digestibility and reduce antinutrients.
- 🍠 Strategic Carb Timing: Adjust your starchy vegetable intake (sweet potatoes, squash, plantains) based on activity level. Active individuals need more carbs, while those focused on weight loss may benefit from lower carb paleo eating.
🔪 Paleo Cooking Mastery
- 🍳 Master Fat Sources: Keep coconut oil, ghee (if tolerated), avocado oil, and extra virgin olive oil stocked. Each has different smoke points—use coconut or avocado oil for high-heat cooking, olive oil for low-heat or finishing.
- 🧂 Season Like a Pro: Build your paleo spice cabinet with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and dried herbs. These add tremendous flavor without non-paleo ingredients.
- 🥘 One-Pan Wonders: Paleo meals often work beautifully as sheet pan dinners. Protein + vegetables + healthy fat + seasonings = easy cleanup and maximum flavor development.
- 🌿 Fresh Herbs Transform: Cilantro, parsley, basil, rosemary, and thyme elevate simple paleo meals to restaurant quality. Add fresh herbs at the end of cooking for maximum impact.
- 🍋 Acid Brightens: A squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or a splash of apple cider vinegar brightens flavors and aids digestion. This simple trick makes paleo food pop.
- 🥥 Coconut Products Versatility: Coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut flour, and coconut aminos are paleo staples that add richness and functionality to countless recipes.
🤔 Paleo Diet Questions
🥛 Why no dairy on paleo?
The paleo approach excludes dairy because it wasn’t part of human diets until agriculture began about 10,000 years ago. Many people have difficulty digesting lactose or reacting to dairy proteins like casein. However, some paleo practitioners include grass-fed butter or ghee since they’re primarily fat with minimal lactose or protein. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
🌾 What about “paleo” baked goods?
While paleo baking using almond flour, coconut flour, and natural sweeteners is technically allowed, it’s best enjoyed occasionally rather than daily. These foods are still calorie-dense and can trigger the same blood sugar responses as regular treats. Focus primarily on whole foods rather than trying to recreate modern comfort foods in paleo versions.
💪 Can I build muscle on paleo?
Absolutely! Paleo provides abundant high-quality protein and nutrients needed for muscle growth. Athletes often add more starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and adjust portion sizes to meet increased caloric needs. Many bodybuilders and CrossFit athletes thrive on paleo eating.
🍎 How much fruit on paleo?
While fruit is paleo-approved, modern fruits are much sweeter than wild varieties our ancestors ate. Enjoy 1-3 servings daily, focusing on berries (lower sugar) and balancing fruit intake with vegetables. If weight loss is your goal, moderate fruit consumption and choose vegetables as your primary plant foods.
