Paleo Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
Of course, since I’m trying to follow the Paleo diet, traditional biscuits are not on my list of things to eat. Thankfully, with a bit of playing around with my traditional recipe, I have discovered a pretty good Paleo biscuit recipe.
For those not familiar with the Paleo diet, it rules out all grains – even traditional gluten free grains like rice. The Paleo diet does allow you to use things like almond flour and coconut flour in your baking.
This Paleo strawberry shortcake recipe uses almond flour so it is safe for both paleo and gluten free lifestyles. There is no dairy so it’s perfect for those with a dairy allergy.
To make this vegan, substitute stevia or maple syrup for the honey and use an egg replacer for the eggs.
Paleo strawberry dessert
The strawberries in traditional strawberry shortcake have been cooked in sugar which is really not necessary. Fresh spring strawberries are juicy and sweet all by themselves.
Slice and top your Paleo Strawberry Shortcake with fresh strawberries, organic and local, please.

There are a lot of delicious Paleo snacks you can enjoy. Just look for fresh fruit and recipes that do not have added sugar or grains. Or, grab a small piece of pure dark chocolate if you must have candy. It’s one of my husband’s favorites.

Sounds delish! Just wanted to mention though- the headline says these are vegan, they are not. You may want to take that off the headline before a vegan comes and rips your head off.
Hi Gloria – If you read the recipe, it mentions that by using egg replacer, this recipe is vegan. If you keep the eggs in, it won’t be. Hope you try it. It really is good!
This looks like an amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing. (PS – if it has eggs, it isn’t vegan.)
Thanks, Bonnie. I know eggs aren’t vegan but I mentioned using an egg replacer to make it vegan if desired.
This is yummy, thanks for sharing 🙂
Glad to share!
I am about to blow your mind – I have never had strawberry shortcake. *gasp* Looks tasty!
LOL now is the time, Greta!
Going to share this with my cousin! She recently went gluten-free, but LOVES Strawberry Shortcake. I’m sure she’d love to have your recipe.
Thanks, Liza! I hope she enjoys it!
I agree that strawberries don’t need sugar! They’re perfectly wonderful in an of themselves. This recipe sounds delicious.
Thanks, Rosey! I love fresh strawberries straight from the garden!
Looks good! I am really craving desserts right now after giving them up for Lent!
Definitely try it when Lent is over!
I remember watching Strawberry Shortcake growing up! I love the kind you made, too. 🙂
LOL they are both pretty amazing!
This looks so good! I have never baked with almond flour. Do you get it at the regular grocery store or a natural store?
Bobs Red Mill is the brand I buy. I find it at our food co-0p but a larger store would have it in their gluten free area.
I love that you used ALmond flour and natural sweeteners. I can imagine it’s flavor already. I love baking with Almond flour. It’s not as gritty as other flour substitutes and offers a great flavor too.
I really like almond flour. I find it has a better texture than coconut flour for me.
I love this recipe, thanks for sharing. Pinned.
Thanks for pinning, Sandra!
Strawberry shortcake is one of my faves!
It’s a huge family favorite here too!
I have made these before and think they are fabulous! I love almond flour so much! I have like 10 lbs here!
Great! 10lbs = lots of baking!
Yum! That looks so good. Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite dessert! Thanks for the paleo recipe.
Always glad to share a yummy recipe!
YUMMM Ellen, you did it again, another amazing recipe. This will be a hit with my kids, we all love strawberries. Gonna pin it and make this weekend for dessert
Thank you so much, Melanie! Let me know how you like it!
Strawberry shortcake is awesome. I love that this recipe is gluten free so my whole family can enjoy it!
Definitely, Paleo is always gluten free!
Yum. Strawberry shortcake is one of my family’s favorite desserts. I could eat it for breakfast!
Me too, Nicole! I’m pretty sure I have!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing this. I am going to a BBQ next weekend and the hosts are on the paleo diet. This would be perfect to bring with me.
This would be great for a BBQ. Hope you have fun!
Yummy fun! This sounds like a great recipe, I have a lot of these ingredients on hand, can’t wait to try it! And… I used to absolutely adore watching Strawberry Shortcake. I used to also have the dolls that smelled like the fruits. There was strawberry, blueberry and even lemon!
I remember those dolls! Used to love the smells!
That looks really good!! I should make some for Easter!
It would make a great Easter dessert!
This looks AMAZING! I have a friend who has just switched to Paleo, I am going to surprise her with this! Thanks for posting!!
Thank you! I hope that she enjoys it!
My Aunt has serious problems when she eats wheat. She hasn’t had strawberry shortcake of a very long time. I am going to surprise her with this. How very happy she will be.
I’m sure she would be thrilled. My daughter cannot have wheat either.
I am in love with this recipe! The combination of how soft these are with the strawberries… YUM!
It really is delicious , Daisy!
A close friend of mine just started a paleo diet and I know she’ll love this, so I’ll send it to her. Thanks, I’m sure she’ll be making it tonight!! lol
Thanks for sharing, Tammi. I hope she enjoys it!
I love homemade strawberry shortcake and with summer coming it is a perfect dessert!
I can’t wait till we have fresh strawberries again!
