This looks yummy! I will be making it this week for sure. Just a FYI- In the instructions I do believe you missed when to add in the coconut flour.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for letting me know Laurie – I just fixed it! It’s added with the other dry ingredients. 🙂
these look beautiful!! they remind me of those cheddar biscuits at red lobster!! i was just there a few weeks ago and wanted to have one but i’m gluten free!!! so tempting because they smelled awesome.
Thanks so much Joanna – they are very similar to the Red Lobster biscuits! Love the combination of cheddar and chives in biscuits.
Just wondering if there is a substitute that could be used the cheese? Or would it work to omit the cheese completely?
Simply omit the cheese and these should still be great!
