Notes
For a lighter biscuit, replace ¼ cup of the almond flour with ¼ cup coconut flour.
The flavor can be enhanced by adding in chopped herb. Cheese or nutritional yeast can also be added for flavor.
Be careful not to flatten the biscuits out too much or they will end up like cookies. It’s also important to make sure they don’t overcook and become too crisp.
