Easy Vegan Drop Biscuits With Herbs

These Easy Vegan Drop Biscuits With Herbs are quick and delicious homemade biscuits! Whether you pair them with soup, chili, or chowder, they are the perfect side to many meals.

Biscuits are amazing to eat but I don't love putting forth a lot of effort to make them. Whether it's having to use a pastry cutter to mix in cold butter, or having to roll out the dough, or hauling out the food processor, I'd rather not deal with it.

This is why I prefer to make drop biscuits - no rolling pin required.

The great news is that you don't need to do any of those things to make delicious fluffy biscuits! These are the best Vegan Drop Biscuits.  This recipe uses pantry staples and simple ingredients found in any grocery store so they're easy to make any time.

Vegan Drop Biscuit Variations

This simple recipe is very versatile.

• Different herbs - I use thyme, garlic powder and paprika, but if you want to take any of those out and add a different herb, that will work too. Try dried basil and oregano!

• Plain biscuits - If you just want plain buttery biscuits, only keep in the sugar and salt.

• Sweeter biscuits - Do you like your biscuits sweet? If so, change the amount of sugar to 2 tablespoons and take out the herbs. A sweeter biscuit is delicious with peanut butter, jam, or fruit and vegan whipped cream.

Drop Biscuit Ingredients

These biscuits use very simple ingredients.

• Flour - I use regular all purpose flour for these biscuits.

• Vegan butter - My favorite brand is Earth Balance. It comes in both a tub and in sticks which is very convenient for measuring. I also just really like the flavor.

• Non-dairy milk - I use unsweetened soy milk but you can use any plant milk you have. Unsweetened almond milk works well but I'd stay away from coconut milk unless you don't mind them having a coconut flavor.

• Baking powder

• Sugar

• Seasonings: salt, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme

Making the Recipe

To make these biscuits, start by preheating the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika and whisk well.

Next you will be adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter into the flour mixture and give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon. Then add the soy milk and stir until you have biscuit dough.

Now the best part - you do NOT need to roll the dough or use a biscuit cutter or have a floured surface. All of those things make me not want to make biscuits. Drop biscuits are so much easier than biscuits that need to be rolled out and cut and taste just as good.

Use a spoon to drop the dough - about 2 tablespoons worth - on the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or so. Let them cool for a couple minutes before serving these yummy warm biscuits. My family of five devours all 15 of these at a time!

Drop Biscuit Storage

Store these biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best if used within 3 days.

FAQ

Can I use coconut oil instead of vegan butter?

Nope. I mean you can but I don't recommend it. I've had biscuits made with coconut oil before and I'm not a fan. Too many vegan recipes sub in cold coconut oil any time regular butter is called for. I don't agree with this as the food always tastes like coconut.

I love coconut oil and coconut milk but only when I want my food to taste like coconut.

How are drop biscuits different than rolled biscuits?

Drop biscuits are much easier to make. You just make the dough and "drop" in large spoonful's. The dough is wetter and cannot be kneaded or rolled out.

For rolled biscuits, after you make the dough you'll need to roll them out and cut them into rounds. They also rise a bit more than drop biscuits.
