Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Cut the coconut oil into small chunks and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly, creating a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Fold in the shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese evenly throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
