Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits, a quick an easy Red Lobster copycat recipe for homemade drop biscuits.
These Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits turned out way better than I thought! No, they’re not EXACTLY like Red Lobsters biscuits because Red Lobster uses regular flour, but they are still delicious! If you’re looking for a quick homemade drop biscuit with flour similar to these gluten-free biscuits, check out my other recipe for my oldie but goodie Garlic Cheese Biscuits which I think you’ll enjoy.
These homemade Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits are simple to make and ready in less than 30 minutes. Instead of all-purpose flour, these biscuits use almond flour. Almond flour is generally easy to find now at your local grocery store, but if for some reason you can’t find it, you can also order online.
Otherwise, no other unusual ingredients in these biscuits. You can try using other gluten-free flours but I can’t tell you how they’ll turn out since I have only used almond flour for these.
A few things to note about these Gluten-Free Cheddar Bay Biscuits, I added the spices/herbs into the biscuit dough itself BUT you could add it to the melted butter that you brush on top of the biscuits if you prefer like some other similar copycat Red Lobster biscuit recipes. These biscuits are best the day you bake them, but they do keep for a few days if you have some leftover.
The biscuits are great split in half and toasted for mini sandwiches. The recipe makes 6 little biscuits but I did add directions for 4 larger ones. Or multiply the recipe for even more or larger biscuits. Happy eating!
My son is working on a video to add so you can see how they come together so I’ll add that here as soon as he’s done with it (and done with his homework…).
Hope you enjoy!

How can I make these without the cheese or substitute something for it? Cannot do dairy… thanks so much!!

How about a vegan cheese? or perhaps goats cheese?
Lisa Huff says
Sorry, I’m not very familiar with vegan cheese. You can definitely try any cheese you have baked with before and that holds up well.

Does anyone know the nutritional information on these biscuits???
Lisa Huff says
You can use an online calculator but they’re not always reliable and things can be quite different depending on specific brands. I’d suggest calculating yourself based on brands you have and you can reference the nutritional info of each product on Amazon, Peapod, etc.
