These Coconut Banana Bliss Biscuits are a delightful twist on classic drop biscuits, combining tropical coconut and sweet banana for a treat that's perfect for any time of day.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut flakes.
Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined to avoid uneven flavor distribution.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the biscuits.
In a separate bowl, mash the banana and mix it with the milk and vanilla extract.
Mash the banana thoroughly to ensure it blends well with the other wet ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Overmixing can make the biscuits tough, so stir gently.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Serve with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
