Add Chocolate Chips: For a sweet twist, fold in a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips to the dough before shaping.
Make It Gluten-Free: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version of these biscuits.
Infuse Other Citrus Flavors: Swap out the orange zest and juice for lemon or lime to create a different citrusy taste that’s just as refreshing.
Add Spices: For a warm, comforting flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or ginger to the dough. It pairs beautifully with the orange flavor!
FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different oil if I don’t have coconut oil?
A: Yes! You can substitute coconut oil with vegetable oil, canola oil, or even olive oil, depending on your preference.
Q: How can I make these biscuits sweeter?
A: If you prefer sweeter biscuits, increase the amount of powdered sugar to ½ cup, or use a liquid sweetener like maple syrup for a different flavor.
Q: Can I make these biscuits without using any oil?
A: While oil is used to achieve the biscuit’s soft texture, you can try replacing it with applesauce or mashed bananas for a lower-fat alternative. Keep in mind the texture may change slightly.
Q: Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. When ready, just roll and bake as usual.
Q: Can I use fresh orange juice instead of zest?
A: Fresh orange juice can be used in place of zest, but it won't give the same concentrated citrus flavor. For best results, it's recommended to use both zest and juice together.
