The beauty of biscuits is that they go with every meal. Butter one up for breakfast, spread on some fresh avocado for lunch or use one to soak up delicious stew, soup or chili for dinner. Free of gluten and other overly processed ingredients, these paleo-friendly biscuits are made with pureed butternut squash and crunchy bacon. Plus, to make life easier, you can prepare the dough beforehand. Simple store dough balls overnight in refrigerator and bake the next day!

Ingredients
2-1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Super-Fine Almond Flour
3 Tbsp. Nutiva Organic Coconut Flour
1 medium butternut squash (roughly 1 cup cooked)
1/4 cup Vitacost Organic Coconut Oil or ghee, melted
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vitacost Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Pamela's Gluten-Free Baking Powder
