So, my mom just bought her first jar of coconut oil this month, and I have had a blast (a little too enthusiastically) explaining the hundreds of ways that you can use it. I mean, just yesterday we had a very deep conversation about oil pulling as I was walking through the produce section at Costco. No one gave me weird looks at all…
But amongst the thousands of recipes out there using coconut oil, I think I have discovered a new favorite. It began with a craving for biscuits, and a bag of self-rising flour that I needed to use up, and an old 3-ingredient recipe that used to call for shortening. Nowadays, anytime I see shortening, it’s like the recipe is just begging me to try substituting in some coconut oil to see if it works. And when I saw milk, I decided to sub in some coconut milk. And my oh my, it worked!

3-Ingredient Coconut Oil Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour, store-bought or homemade
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (solid, not melted)
- 3/4 cup milk*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Add self-rising flour and coconut oil to a mixing bowl, and use a pastry cutter or forks to cut the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture is like fine crumbs. Stir in the milk until mixture forms a soft dough and no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Knead the mixture until combined, but be careful not to over-knead.
- Turn the dough out onto a cutting board that has been lightly dusted with flour. Gently roll the dough out until it reaches a 1/2-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter (mine was a 2-inch circle) to cut out the biscuits, and transfer to a baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the biscuits have risen and ever so slightly begin to brown on top. Remove and serve immediately.
- *I used refrigerated coconut milk from the carton, not the thicker coconut milk from the can. But any kind of milk will work here.

I make these A LOT, and I have to say, they never rise. But that actually doesn’t bother me, because they are still very tender and tasty. I am jonesin’ to make some today, but I only have white wheat flour; I’m gonna give it a shot and see how we come out!
Just tried the 3 ingredient biscuits, but with modifications to the flour. Used 1.5 cups all purpose flour with a 1/4 cup each of almond and coconut flour. The spouse and son both like them. We had sausage biscuits for breakfast. Will try again…soon
Born in the south so i know a good biscuit! And these are good! I had been scared my whole life making biscuits for some reason but pregnancy cravings kept bringing me back to this recipe so I decided to try today! Man, they don’t disappoint! I made my whole self rising flour based off of your recipe and then used soy instead of coconut milk and they’re simply delicious! Thanks so much for helping me get over my fear and feed into my pregnancy cravings! Me and baby (and toddler) are all very pleased!
I don’t ofen leave messages on blogs but I will for this one. They turned out fabulous for a first time biscuit maker. Mine cooked longer as I used a bigger cup to cut them with but tender and perfect to go along with stew on a cold day.
Delicious! I also added in some fresh Dill and Garlic powder to make them savory… Yumm!!!
The only things I was wondering about though, is your biscuit cutter? I used a 2.25 inch diameter cutter and these biscuits are still small! They’re like miniature biscuits, at least the smaller ones I’ve ever seen haha.
I made it with whole meal flour+baking powder, added some ginger powder and cinnamon and little bit coconut sugar….. they are so tasty. … thank you for the great and easy idea….. love it…. !
I’ve made this recipe lots of times as is and love it. Tonight I added a bit of cheese to the dough and after baking brushed a little garlic butter mixed with a little bit of Italian seasoning… omg… divine! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this recipe! My son and I can’t do dairy well and my husband’s favorite baked good are biscuits! We have made these so many times for family celebration breakfasts! They are Delicious! Definitely do the envelope folding method.
