Hi Kristi! I gave you 5 stars because I love the idea of using cottage cheese, though I haven't made these yet.
I am gluten sensitive, however, I've found commercial all purpose GF flours (which typically include ingredients like potato starch flour & tapioca starch flour) are tougher to digest than wheat flour!
I'd like to use almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour or some combo thereof. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, I assume the baking powder is added at the end? The recipe says "add all ingredients UP TO the baking powder, then fold in vegies & scoop to baking sheet" without mentioning the baking powder again. And, do you find adding it at the end helps the baking process in some way? Or, am I missing something...
Lastly, I love your website name!! Kudos👍

Hey Sarah, I fixed the instructions to be more clear about what I meant about the baking powder. I think almond flour would work however I am not sure about the amount, I would suggest adding it until the mixture is thick and you can form biscuits with it.
