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
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: About 12 biscuits 1x
Description
These 3-ingredient biscuits are made easy with self-rising flour and coconut oil.
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.
Love this! I have been in the mood for biscuits so much right now. They were on the agenda for this weekend. I think I need to pick me up some self rising flour though. Your fluffy-ness is what I am all about.
These look absolutely amazing! But, I had one question: if you don’t have self rising flour, how much baking powder and salt do you use?
Thank You
I would use my recipe for self-rising flour, and then measure out the amount needed for the biscuit recipe. :) Here’s the link:

Anything with “3-ingredients” and “biscuits” catch my eye! These look so great, but I do have a question… Is there any trace of coconut flavor?
