Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
1 cup vegan cottage cheese
3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, parsley, and chives.
Add the cold vegan butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vegan cottage cheese and mix gently. Pour in the vegan buttermilk mixture and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits fluffy.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself once or twice to create flaky layers.
Use a round biscuit cutter or glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking tray with the edges slightly touching for softer sides.
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving warm.

Variations

Add vegan shredded cheddar for extra cheesy flavor.
Mix in chopped spinach or kale for a savory vegetable version.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days.

To freeze, place cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before reheating.

Reheat biscuits in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes until warm. You can also microwave them for about 20 seconds, though the oven keeps the texture crispier.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

What is vegan cottage cheese made from?
