Vegan Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Vegan Cheddar Bay Biscuits are loaded with vegan cheese and topped with an irresistible garlic butter. These cheesy biscuits are easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes.
Servings: 9 biscuits
Ingredients
Dry
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups vegan cheddar cheese shreds
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
Wet
- 1 cup plant milk unsweetened and unflavored
- ½ cup vegan butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Garlic Butter Topping
- 3 Tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 450ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the lemon juice to a glass measuring cup. Pour in the plant milk until it reaches 1 cup. Set aside for a few minutes to curdle and make buttermilk.
- In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients.
- Melt the vegan butter and add it to the bowl.
- Pour ½ of the buttermilk into the bowl and mix, slowly add more as needed.
- Gently mix to form a slightly sticky dough.
- Divide the dough into 9 equal biscuits. Place them on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 450ºF for 15-18 minutes.
Garlic Butter Topping
- In a small heat-safe bowl, melt the vegan butter. Mix in the garlic powder and finely chopped parsley.
- When the biscuits are done, brush the tops with the melted garlic butter.
Notes
See the post above for step-by-step photos and detailed instructions.
Butter: Use vegan buttery sticks rather than butter in a tub. I like Earth Balance sticks, but Miyoko's or Country Crock Plant Butter are also good.
Topping: I find ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder to be plenty for the topping. If you like extra garlic add up to ¼ teaspoon.
Storage and Reheating: Store the biscuits in an airtight container or bag. They can be left at room temperature for 2-3 days or stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the oven for 4-6 minutes at 350ºF.
Freezing: Place the biscuits in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
