Sometimes you just want to have something with dinner that isn’t sweet. Something that goes with a bracing stew or steaming soup. These grain-free biscuits are flavorful and dense and taste great slathered with ghee or butter. This time of year I start making a lot of stews and soups from my nutrient rich beef bone broth and chicken broth. Here is a roll that compliments these savory dishes and is another way to use those delicious roasted onions that you will enjoy!
If you have been baking with grain-free flours you know that they can be very dry. One way to resolve this problem is to add something moist to the recipe. These biscuits have a great taste and texture as they contain the sweet roasted onion that keeps them moist. They go with any savory dish such as a stew or soup and they taste great with just ghee or butter as a simple snack!

I have definitely been looking for variety of what to serve with soup or stew. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe on foodie friday.
These look great; we’ll definitely have to try them. Thanks for sharing on GAPS Friendly Friday, Jill!

Come Back Soon!

Your Onion Biscuits sound delicious – perfect comfort food! I like all the wholesome ingredients and that they are GF and DF too.
These would be great with a schmear of real butter along side a bowl of soup — YUM! Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop.
These tasted awesome! I had to put in about 1/3 cup additional almond flour and a couple of tablespoons of coconut flour, because the batter was very liquid. However, this might be because the “flour” I used was ground up rather coarsely (using a blender). I also added a tablespoon (or was it a teaspoon?) of caraway seeds, which worked great.
Thank you for the recipe. Will definitely make these again.
Hi Katya,
So glad you liked them! We love them!
I just wanted you to know that I included your recipe in a post about onions. I will be tweeting and pinning it all this week.
Hi, I just tried to make these yummy looking biscuits following your directions exactly BUT my dough never got firm. I added a lot more of both of the flours and finally just stopped processing them and put them on a cookie sheet and away they went into the oven (that’s where they are now). I’m praying that they will turn out okay. Hopefully they will be edible. I can’t imagine what went wrong. These just sounded so good.
Hi Trish,
Were your eggs very large and did you drop pieces of butter in or did you melt the butter first? Sounds like there was too much liquid. Let me know how they turn out!
