Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

FAQs
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but coconut flour is more absorbent than almond flour. If substituting, use approximately 1/3 cup of coconut flour in place of 1 cup of almond flour, and adjust the liquid ingredients as needed.
