Low Carb Biscuits Recipe (Keto Friendly)
Low Carb Biscuits Recipe (Keto Friendly)
This Low Carb Biscuits Recipe has me all excited about living the keto life! I’m not missing my bread at all! Wait! Did I just say that? Oh yes I did! I don’t miss the bread. I used to crave the bread but not anymore!
Update! We have exciting news! You can preorder the Keto Friendly Recipes: Easy Keto For Busy People COOKBOOK!!
Just look at how amazing these Keto Low Carb Cheese Biscuits are!
Guess what?!! Look at how we made a Keto Chicken Pot Pie Recipe with a slight twist from this low carb biscuits recipe! It turned out amazing! You can print this Keto Chicken Pot Pie Recipe here.
Update: I’ve had so many people ask me about the Keto diet that I decided to write a separate post on all of the information I’ve learned about it over the past 2 months. It’s basically a brain dump of all the things the are important to know when you get started. I call it the Simple Way to Start the Ketogenic Diet.
I am trying new recipes everyday. I should have category on the blog for failed recipes because I have a few of those too. In fact, let me tell you… don’t use coconut flour in the recipe as a substitute. It doesn’t work. Trust me.
I would love to tell you to experiment with your seasonings. I love adding rosemary to my breads so I would suggest you try that. You can omit the garlic and onion powder if you do. You can even try a bit of cayenne powder along with parsley. That combination reminds me of the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuits. I would like to inspire you to experiment a little.
There’s a printable version of this recipe at the bottom of this post.
Oh and before I forget, you have GOT to try the Low Carb Cheese Crackers we made the other day! OH MY WORD they were delish!!!
I welcome you to join our Low Carb Inspirations group on Facebook! We have a supportive environment where we share all sorts of information about our Keto and Low Carb Lifestyles!
One thing I absolutely LOVE about the Keto way of life is the confidence I have. Today I am wearing my Be You – Believe In Yourself t-shirt I found here on Amazon because it reminds me of how far I’ve come during this journey! Keto Strong Baby!!
Low Carb Biscuits Recipe Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Low Carb Biscuits Recipe Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Mix all the dry ingredient together first.
- Combine all the wet ingredients next.
- Mix well.
- Spray your pan with nonstick cooking spray. I used a muffin tin but you can use any pan you choose. Take a drop and drop a dollop of biscuit batter on your pan. I also spray my spoon with nonstick cooking spray because the dough will slide right off into the pan.
- Cook for about 10 to 13 minutes.

The BEST Keto Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe
My husband & I have been Keto for 5 years…during those years we’ve tried many biscuits but they we always so heavy & full of cheese. These are absolutely fantastic! We’ll never make any others again! Congratulations on the absolutely best Keto biscuit recipe ever & Thank You!
I love this recipe, I added jalapeños on top for an extra kick. My husband loves them too!
These are SO good! Loved them so much the first time, I took leftovers to share at work the day after. Made them for the second time tonight with chicken alfredo (konjac noodles for me and regular spaghetti for mom). Tomorrow, they’re going to be enjoyed with cabbage & ‘pot liquor’. I can’t wIt !
These are SO good! I’ve made them many times with and without the garlic / onion powders. Made with a coarser-ground almond meal, they taste almost exactly like cornmeal muffins. Today I added a little milk to thin the batter a bit and made “hoe cakes.” So yummy!
I made these last night to have with pulled pork. They were fabulous. I look forward to using this recipe in many different versions in the future. I’ve already talked about taking out the onion and garlic replacing with a little monk fruit sweetener and blueberries to make muffins.
So delicious! Looking forward to making the chicken pot pie next!
The best Keto biscuits ever!! I’ve shared this recipe with many and they all love it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
These are sooo good! I have cheated on my diet by going to a fast food joint for biscuits. My only weakness so far… I’ve tried several other Keto biscuits that were nothing like the real thing. These are really good. I put the dry ingredients in a food processor, except the onion powder. Then I slowly added the eggs butter and sour cream. Scooped them in a muffin tin. I was hoping to try them as left overs but the kids ate them all. Thanks for the recipe!!
I’ve had a blast altering flavors with this recipe. A sure fire winner!
Super easy, no mixer, just a spoon. I had been missing me some biscuits and gravy. Problem solved! Thanks for a killer recipe.
BTW, I used Mexican Queso for my cheese. It has a creamy flavor, so it’s perfect to not distract from the biscuit. Also, try half a brick of cream cheese in your country style gravy for added flavor.
These were soooooo yummy!!! I always miss bread while on the Keto Diet and these really hit the spot.
Holy cow these are awesome! I can’t believe I finally found a recipe for biscuits that doesn’t taste like egg. I left out the garlic and onion powder to make them for breakfast. Can’t wait to try them with them! Thank you so much!
I have made these biscuits twice already. First time just for my husband and I and he loved them. I made them again last week with Keto chili and my daughter and her fiancé did not believe they were low actually low carb. We ate a whole batch with dinner. I am making your sausage gravy and the biscuits together for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Followed recipe as is, mine sunk in the center instead of rising…but delicious. Definitely a keeper!
The BEST keto bread/biscuit recipe ! I added 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to keep them from spreading as much.
Super simple and delicious. More of a muffin than a biscuit. Topped them with Everything Bagel seasoning before baking and it worked out perfectly.
Made these tonight. I could rave all night about them. Used them along with the Keto Sausage & Biscuit Gravy receipe. I think next time I’ll try withiut the cheese. This was supper tonight and both of us loved it! Definately a do again.
Yum!!!! So easy to make and on top of that THEY TASTE AMAZING!!!
Best low carb biscuit I’ve had!
We love this recipe as a breakfast biscuit. I sift the almond flour and leave out the garlic & onion powder. I separate the egg whites & yolks. I beat the whites to a stiff peaks. I fold the whites into the batter last. The sifting and beating the whites make for a lighter, less grainy biscuit.
Make these for breakfast now once a week. My guy loves them. Delicious and not as heavy as the Fathead biscuit recipe. We’ve been doing keto for 1 month now and this is the perfect low carb/carb craving cure! Excellent recipe! Thank you!
My brother, who isn’t on the Keto diet and loves food, said I should make these more often. They were delicious! This is definitely going on my “to keep” recipe box. Thank you for the recipe!
These are delicious! I definitely will make them again.
If you like “everything” bagels try sprinkling the tops with McCormick’s Grillmates Montreal Steak seasoning BEFORE baking. I use the reduced sodium option. Definitely put my breakfast sandwich over the top!3
Hi, if I wanted to sub half the flour with coconut flour, do you think that would that work? How much of the coconut flour? Thanks so much!
Hi Nava – coconut flour absorbs much more liquid than almond flour so I wouldn’t sub 3/4 cup coconut and 3/4 cup almond flours. Try 1/2 cup coconut flour and 3/4 cup almond flour to start. You may need to add more liquid to the mixture.
These are perfect! I made them exactly by the recipe and used a muffin pan. Delicious! So excited to have found this recipe. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 #ketostrong
These awesome!
I first tried the recipe following it to the tee.
The second time, I didn’t have sour cream, but someone previously posted that they substituted with Greek yogurt…and then I added some chives. Wow! Still awesome 🙂
Thank you for this recipe!
Just made these for dinner…they are sooo good!
Definitely doesn’t need the onion and garlic powder, especially if you want to put jelly or peanut butter or anything on them. I loved the texture though. The cheese based ones are a little too cheesy. While these better.
Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Thank you for sharing!!!
These are really, really so good. Thanks for the recipe! The first time I made these was yesterday. I have stomach issues with sour cream, so I substituted a 2% plain Greek yogurt, (Fage). Chobani would work too. The carbs are about the same as the sour cream, but less calories (140 for 2% per cup or 190 for 5% per cup). The yogurt also has more protein (20 grams per cup of the 2%, 18 grams per cup of the 5%). I used mozzarella. They turned out marvelous. I had 2 yesterday with my homemade low sugar strawberry jelly. I made a bacon, egg and cheese with one this morning. Mmmmm. Can’t wait to try them with other cheeses and flavorings! Thanks.
I just made this these biscuits and they are….AMAZING. i have three dumb dogs that got into my butter so I substituted coconut oil instead. They are absolutely amazing. Instead of using cheddar I used pepper jack. by the way..the dogs are fine. I guess they wanted in on the keto too. That is a no go from me. Doggie chow for the the canines in my household. I am glad it was only 4tbs otherwise I don’t think I would have very happy tummies.
Great recipe! Thank you so much!
Can you use cupcake liners for these or is it to dry of a recipe? I was super excited to see a keto “breadish” recipe that only had two eggs😉
I don’t see why not. This recipe is the best!
Loved these! I substituted some good buttermilk for the sour cream. I baked them in mini muffin cups. Definitely a keeper. Thank you.
I have a problem with this recipe. How am I ever going to not eat the entire batch all at once?!? They’re AMAZING!!! Thank you!
Make these all the time. Added chopped rosemary. Ummmmmmm. We love these biscuits.
I served these with slow cooker Italian sausages and Reuben topping for New Year’s Day. The biscuits were the best part of the meal. I made a double batch because I wasn’t sure of the yield. I used an ice cream scoop and got 16 biscuits for a double batch. I also topped them with shredded cheddar and let them sit in the oven to melt the cheese. I did that after I finished cooking them. They would have stayed vegetarian but I used bacon grease as my cooking oil. I would definitely make these again.
I tried these today and I have to admit they were incredible. I added 2 tsp of whey protein powder to them and omitted the onion powder. They are awesome with Keto chili. I will be making these forever. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
OMG these are amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Do you think i could double this for a loaf
I have made these countless times, always terrific, BUT…I double the batch and instead of powdered onion/garlic, I saute a chopped shallot in butter, and chop or mince a raw jalapeno. I toss these in with the flour, and drop the dough into 12 jumbo muffin cups. They are double sized, so double the carbs (plus the added carbs from the shallot and jalapeno). These make fantastic sausage-biscuit sandwiches (I make 3oz. patties) which are large and satisfying enough to use as a lunch…and they freeze beautifully. I make 2wks worth of sandwiches and freeze them, so you can just pop one in your lunch bag in the morning (great if you’re running late).
I made these this morning. They are super yummy! Thank you. I love all of your resources. I found this a free times on FB, but saved your 50 best keto recipes and it’s really paid off!
Thanks again,
Betsy
I pinned two recipes and thought that this one used cream cheese instead of sour cream. I used 4 oz. cream cheese, and they were delicious. Just wanted to share in case someone doesn’t have sour cream on hand.
Made these tonight and they were amazing! I am picky about low carb breads. Bought some really expensive Keto bread and can’t stand the taste. This is so much better and so quick and easy. Love!!!!
I am new to a low carb and Keto diet, but am finally losing weight by following it. I do miss breads, etc. I tried this recipe today and they are AWESOME! I put them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, instead. This allowed them to spead larger, which works for sandwiches, but not too thin. These are just as good or better than the name brand cheddar biscuits.
I do have one question. What is the best way to store them? Currently I put a paper napkin in a food storage bag with them to prevent them from getting too soft or hard. I am leaving them room temp, but wasn’t sure if I should refrigerate them. Thank you for such a great recipe.
I stored my extras on the countertop too. It lasted 3 days before they were all gone. I’m not sure how much longer they would have lasted on the counter though. I didn’t have any issues with countertop storage for a couple days. I would imagine you could put them in the refrigerator too. I would just heat them up for a few seconds before serving them if I did.
Just tried your biscuit recipe & it was a hit! I’m a compulsive, Pinterest recipe failure.
Thanks so much for sharing. I’m just south of you in Laredo, Texas! You rock!
I loved the flavor on these, and have used them a lot. They’re so dry and crumbly, tho. On the other hand, they were GREAT under sliced fresh peaches!
Just made these tonight and they are DELICIOUS! Quick and easy. Just enough flavor from the garlic and onion powder and super fluffy. I will definitely be making these more often. I have been trying to find a good low carb bread recipe and they always end up to eggy. This was perfect!
WOW these were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe!! You’ve become such a great help to me while on this Keto journey. <3
Thank you for this recipe. I’m following a glycemic load/ low carb diet and crave bread often! These help with those cravings.
This recipe goes well with things like BBQ chicken, chili or hearty soup. You can cut back on the onion and garlic powders a bit if you want a milder flavor.
For a breakfast treat, I’m going to try the basic recipe and substitute cinnamon and stevia to see how that works. I’ll bet mozzarella cheese would work as a sub for the cheddar. And just thought: ginger or orange would make interesting flavors to try.
I made these for the 1st time last week….OMG! DELICIOUS! Going for batch number 2 today!!!
I did not make 12 biscuits, but 6, so I am doubling the nutrition amount to get the correct numbers for me. My husband didn’t care for them, but he tried them with s sugar free grape jelly. I didn’t think that would taste to good with the garlic & onion powder. I think I will omit those ingredients when I use them at breakfast time. I thought they were great just the way they were! I will be making again.
What would you recommend as a substitute for almos flour due to allergies?
You could use coconut flour but you would have to adjust the measurements. I think almond flour is 4X that of coconut flour.
I made these and used grass fed plain yogurt & they came out great! My adult son tried and said he liked as well!!
Thx!!
These were so easy to make and really delicious! They came out perfectly in both the muffin tin and a mini donut pan. Thank you!
These are THE BEST — make them now ! I’ve tried paleo, gluten free, you name it — NOTHING is as good as these ! Thank you !! 🙂 My whole family loved them — rare indeed 🙂
I have never gone back to a site to review a recipe before but I had to this time. These are amazing!! They are light and fluffy. A lot of low carb bread I have tried tasted too eggy. I will be making these again… soon!!!
True! The beat keto recipe for biscuitS. I will adapted to make bread!! I am so happy. Thank you very much!
Wow! I honestly think I prefer these over regular biscuits. My husband and I are eating low-carb and these give me the fix I need for my bread craving. They are absolutely delicious, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this recipe and also to everyone’s comments. We are from the mid west and love biscuits and sausage gravy. We are on a low carb diet. I had tried another biscuit recipe before and it wasn’t good at all. So today I tried your recipe leaving out the cheese, onion, and garlic powder. I also was successful with thicken the gravy with almond flour and a little Xantham Gum.
The biscuits are very good, light and not heavy and grainy. My husband is a very happy camper today.
Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream? I’m out of sour cream
I have not tried yogurt. I would think the texture would be ok. I would watch the sugar count in yogurt though.
I used plain Greek yogurt grass-fed & they came out great! Cholesterol was lower as well
What is the carb count per biscuit? Or did I miss that somewhere?
I made these last week and can’t wait to make another batch. They were SO fluffy and tasty! Would never have guessed they are low-carb. These biscuits were just what I was craving 🙂
DELICIOUS!!!!! I made 2 batches! I have tried sooooooooooooooooo many low carb bread recipes and they were horrible (plus had to mortgage the house to pay for all the almond flour….THAT I WASTED) so I was a little worried about “another” biscuit recipe…but these were GREAT!
Just made these….AND…..they are great!! The first try I only made 6 because I was scared they would be horrible (because I have made many low carb breads that have been) but these really are good! I didn’t use the garlic and onion powder and I ate them with a low carb strawberry fruit spread…. delicious!!
Is this also gluten free?
Just made this recipe. It was super quick and easy to make! I’m in awe of how close they are to a regular biscuit. The look, taste and texture are amazing. If someone else made them and gave me one I seriously don’t think I’d have known it was not a regular biscuit. In fact, I think they may even be better. I halved the recipe, which made 6 biscuits. I used blanched almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and omitted the onion & garlic powders. This is seriously the best low carb recipe I’ve made thus far. Thank you so much for posting! I’m hoping they are just as good in the morning, warmed in the toaster oven.
This is the first time I’ve commented on a recipe. OH MY GOODNESS!!! These are amazing. I made them exactly by the recipe. I made a rice cauliflower, broccoli & cheese soup also. Low carb deliciousness!!! Thank you for the recipe!
So glad you enjoyed them Carolyn!!! Welcome!!
