These keto cheddar garlic biscuits are a delicious, low-carb bread option that’s quick and easy to make. In under 30 minutes you can have light, airy biscuits to serve with many meals — each biscuit contains about 2 net grams of carbs.
These biscuits are tender and flavorful, with cheddar and garlic providing a comforting, savory profile. They’re perfect for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb plan who doesn’t want to give up a good biscuit. They also reheat well and store conveniently for several days.
Ingredients
The dry ingredients are almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and a bit of salt. Almond flour is made from blanched almonds (skins removed) and is finer than almond meal; it gives a lighter texture and works well in these biscuits. The wet ingredients are eggs, melted butter, and sour cream — the butter and sour cream help keep the biscuits soft and moist. Finish with shredded cheddar; use mild, medium, or sharp to taste.
Method — quick and easy
This recipe is straightforward. Combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the melted butter and sour cream; small lumps of sour cream are fine. Stir in the shredded cheese, then fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined. The dough will be thick.
Spoon portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between biscuits as they spread a little during baking. Bake until golden and set. Serve warm — plain or with a drizzle of melted butter if desired.
Serving suggestions
These biscuits are versatile: serve with breakfast alongside eggs and bacon, add to a lunch plate with salad, or pair with soups, stews, and chili for dinner. They can also be split and used as a low-carb sandwich bread. Reheat one or two in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Store in a covered container at room temperature for a couple of days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Helpful hints
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Bake about 12–15 minutes; start checking at 12 minutes so you don’t overbake.
- Shredding your own cheese avoids anti-caking additives found in many pre-shredded packages and helps the cheese melt more naturally into the dough.
