VEGANCHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS INGREDIENTS:

Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make these vegan cheddar bay biscuits:

You only need either ingredients for this super easy vegan dough recipe.

  • Flour– the star of the show! we really recommend using all-purpose flour
  • Baking Powder– This is helping us get the rise we need from the flour when baking
  • Vegan Cane Sugar– just a touch a sweetness goes a long way but prefects this recipe
  • Salt– do not omit here, the salt helps to tighten the gluten strains, but also really brings the flavor out
  • Dairy Free Milkand Apple Cider Vinegar– When combined, these two ingredients mimic buttermilk which is the flavor that we want in this recipe.
  • Garlic powder and old bay seasoning – these two seasonings together really make up the flavor of the Red Lobster biscuits

SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:

  • Flour– you can use gluten free or a whole wheat flour if desired – both will change the texture a bit
  • Vegan Cane Sugar– You could replace this with maple syrup or agave
  • Vinegar – you could use white vinegar or lemon juice instead
  • Vegan Cheese – you could make these with other flavors of cheese as well like vegan mozzarella, gouda, smoked provolone and more. Obviously it will no long be cheddar biscuits, but it will still be delicious

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

DO I HAVE TO USE VEGAN BUTTER?

We do not recommend making these without oil because it will omit the buttery flavor and richness that you get when using vegan butter.

CAN I MAKEVEGAN CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITSTOP 8 ALLERGEN FREE?

You could swap the flour with a gluten free 1:1 flour blend with this recipe. Please note that depending on which brand you use, sometimes gluten free blends need more liquid.
For the vegan butter, we recommend Earth Balance Soy Free, it comes in a red tub, or Flora.

These will last for 4-5 days if stored properly in an air tight container. After that you run the risk of mold and they will not be as soft. Warm before using.

Ingredients

For the topping

  • 4 tablespoon salted vegan butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley leaves
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add dairy free milk and apple cider vinegar together (this makes vegan buttermilk). Set in the fridge. Melt butter and sit in the fridge.

  • Add the vegan buttermilk and melted butter from the fridge together, then pour into the large bowl with the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until a dough has formed and the ingredients are no longer dry. Do not overmix.
