VEGAN CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS INGREDIENTS:

Below are notes about the ingredients before we get into the full recipe located lower in this post on how to make these vegan cheddar bay biscuits:

You only need either ingredients for this super easy vegan dough recipe.

Flour – the star of the show! we really recommend using all-purpose flour
Baking Powder – This is helping us get the rise we need from the flour when baking
Vegan Cane Sugar – just a touch a sweetness goes a long way but prefects this recipe
Salt – do not omit here, the salt helps to tighten the gluten strains, but also really brings the flavor out
Dairy Free Milk and Apple Cider Vinegar– When combined, these two ingredients mimic buttermilk which is the flavor that we want in this recipe.
Garlic powder and old bay seasoning – these two seasonings together really make up the flavor of the Red Lobster biscuits

SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS:

Flour – you can use gluten free or a whole wheat flour if desired – both will change the texture a bit
Vegan Cane Sugar – You could replace this with maple syrup or agave
Vinegar – you could use white vinegar or lemon juice instead
Vegan Cheese – you could make these with other flavors of cheese as well like vegan mozzarella, gouda, smoked provolone and more. Obviously it will no long be cheddar biscuits, but it will still be delicious

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

DO I HAVE TO USE VEGAN BUTTER?

We do not recommend making these without oil because it will omit the buttery flavor and richness that you get when using vegan butter.

CAN I MAKE VEGAN CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS TOP 8 ALLERGEN FREE?

You could swap the flour with a gluten free 1:1 flour blend with this recipe. Please note that depending on which brand you use, sometimes gluten free blends need more liquid.
For the vegan butter, we recommend Earth Balance Soy Free, it comes in a red tub, or Flora.

HOW LONG ARE VEGAN RED LOBSTER BISCUITS GOOD FOR?

These will last for 4-5 days if stored properly in an air tight container. After that you run the risk of mold and they will not be as soft. Warm before using.
