Keto Biscuits
Description
The Keto Biscuits recipe uses almond flour as the base mixed with eggs, cottage cheese, and melted butter to create a wet batter. Shredded cheddar cheese is folded in, contributing a sharp flavor and helping maintain structure during baking. Baking at 400 degrees produces biscuits that are golden and firm on the outside yet moist inside. The optional garlic butter glaze with parsley and garlic powder adds an herbed aroma and additional buttery taste when brushed on warm biscuits.
These biscuits offer a low-carb alternative to traditional flour biscuits while providing protein from eggs and cheese. They are portioned by dropping about three tablespoons each onto the baking sheet, which yields biscuit-sized servings that bake in roughly 12 to 14 minutes. Using freshly grated cheese from a block with thicker shreds helps retain biscuit shape during baking as opposed to pre-shredded cheese.
You can bake these biscuits either in a preheated oven or an air fryer, depending on kitchen equipment availability. They fit well as a side dish alongside soups, salads, or breakfasts, especially for those following ketogenic or low-carbohydrate eating plans. For a slightly firmer texture, a small increase in almond flour can reduce batter wetness.
Brushing the garlic butter glaze right after baking gives the biscuits a flavorful, slightly salty top that complements the cheddar cheese inside. The recipe notes using brands like Tillamook for cheese to achieve best results in texture and shape.
Ingredients
BISCUITS:
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (sour cream can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
- 1 cup cheddar cheese see note, shredded
BUTTER GLAZE:
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/8 /8 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven or air fryer to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the biscuits: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and butter. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Mixture will be wet. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
- Drop batter into dollops onto the prepared baking pan, about 3 tablespoons each.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until biscuits turn golden brown.
- For the butter glaze: In a small bowl, add the butter and stir in the garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Brush mixture onto warm biscuits.
Notes
- Use shredded cheddar cheese from a block, such as Tillamook, for better biscuit shape and texture.
- If batter is too wet, add a bit more almond flour to firm up the dough.
- These biscuits bake well in both conventional ovens and air fryers preheated to 400°F.
- Brush the garlic butter glaze onto warm biscuits immediately after baking for best flavor.
