Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, mix the almond milk with the lemon juice and honey. Let it sit for a few minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and use a fork or your fingers to work the oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the biscuits tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it to about a 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out the biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps and repeat until all dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy warm, perhaps with a drizzle of more honey or a spread of your favorite Mediterranean dip.
