A note from Andi, The Weary Chef

Why should we deny ourselves a hot buttery biscuit when we are following a Low Carb or Keto diet? Well, hold on to your socks because this will be your favorite way to make Low Carb Biscuits! Look at how flaky they are!!

The Best Low-Carb Keto Biscuits Recipe

I can’t believe it has taken me this long to finally create the perfect low-carb biscuit! I have tried so many biscuits that are flavorless and taste like wood chips. I was thrilled when I took my first bite of this incredible biscuit, it is so flavorful and melts in your mouth.

It really tastes like a buttery biscuit! Not like the hard hockey puck biscuits that bakeries try to sell. No wheat flour is needed for this incredibly delicious melt-in-your-mouth biscuit! Almond flour is blanched and finely ground. It creates a better texture in baked goods.

I have tried many recipes in hopes of finding one that matched my Grandma’s biscuits, these are the best, yes, they are that good! The cheese and the garlic puts the flavor over the top!

What to Serve with Low-Carb Biscuits

Since we are having such a cold spring, I’m really in a comfort food mode. My favorite top 5 comfort food is keto biscuits. I think that I will have to make another batch to go with my Ham and Bean Soup that I made today. I’m thinking of making a batch of biscuits may be the thing to do. They’re simple and familiar and remind me of all of the good times with family. Serve these delicious biscuits with a big bowl of soup or stew, or serve them with an omelet.

How to Store the Low-Carb Keto Biscuits

I’ve had no problem storing these low-carb keto biscuits in the refrigerator for a week. You can warm them up in the microwave or oven right before serving. They also freeze well, so you could even make a few batches to have on hand for a long time. You can’t go wrong with that.

This recipe makes 12 keto biscuits. I used my favorite baking pan and they turned out perfectly golden brown.

Love this recipe! I made mine in refills muffin tins and filled them 2/3rds full. It resulted in 7 and a half. (The half is not pictured bec it\’s in my stomach!) My dough was really thick and easy to handle so I had to press it into the tin. I also used an almond flour mix recipe i got from southern keto you tube chanel. It turned out great!

From importing the recipe link to MyFitnesspal earlier this morning (9/29/2024). 12 biscuits. 201 cals, 17g fat, 9g protein, 4g carbs, 2g fiber (so, 2g net carbs), 1g sugar.

This was one of the best low carb biscuits I\’ve tried! I used a deep muffin tin so the recipe made 5 biscuits at 7g carbs per biscuit – the whole pan was 36g with my ingredients so it just depends on the size of your biscuit and brand of ingredients. Since I was making this for breakfast, I didn\’t include the garlic powder but will definitely try it in the next batch! Thanks for sharing!

Made this low carb biscuits for my diabetic husband, these were a hit. Light and fluffy. I used the full fat greek yogurt and baked in a 350 oven in a loaf pan around 40 minutes, since i didn\’t have a muffin tin.

I can’t wait to try this recipe! It looks delicious.
Here is the nutritional information per serving:
262.5 cal
2.7g net carbs
8.4g protein
21.5g fat

Hi, Julie! Ignite that excitement because this recipe is really delicious. If you try this recipe, share a photo of your cooking time, so we can see the excitement in your aura hahaha!

I dont know about you guys but it taste like the baking soda has overwhelm the biscuits.

It calls for baking powder not baking soda.

I loved them

It’s baking powder, not baking soda. Easy to mix up.

The recipe calls for baking powder, not baking soda. That could be your issue.

If you put the recipe link in MyFitness Pal it will give you the nutritional information. Not sure how accurate it is, but it seems to be close.

I made these tonight, and they were really good. Mine were light, fluffy, and NOT the least bit gritty. One change: used ricotta cheese instead of sour cream. Have had great success using that in other non-Keto but gluten-free biscuits. I used Bob’s Red Mill almond flour. (Made a keto-friendly sausage gravy to go atop the biscuits). Will definitely make again and again – minus the garlic powder. It appears that I will more than likely need to add a tiny bit of xanthan gum if I want to use them as part of a breakfast sandwich.

I’m not much of a baker but these turned out great! I will definitely make these on a regular basis.

OK I am brand new to the Keto/low carb diet thing can anyone steer me to how to find the carb content of this recipe? I can calculate it myself but need a starting point

I’m wondering the same thing. I’m using MyFitnesspal and need to input that information.

See my above comment for MyFitnessPal

This is the only recipe I ever use and I have tried several. Follow the recipe and you get consistent results every time. If you made it out of elementary school you can calculate the carbs yourself. If you can’t do that, you probably shouldn’t be using an oven…

Kiet you said “ If you made it out of elementary school you can calculate the carbs yourself. ” your rely was mean and unwarranted.

The biscuits taste great! Thanks for recipe

Absolutely love this recipe

It be nice for you to give the nutritional info. Saying it is low carb doesn’t necessarily make us believe you. I will now move on to another recipe that has nutritional information!

If a person with a normal level of reading comprehension would look at this recipe, they would understand it is low carb. All of the ingredients are low carb. These authors are not nutritional experts, so they shouldn’t have to post nutritional info.

There are carb counter apps you can download and add the recipe and it will tell you I use one called carb manager so I can plan for husband

I made these biscuits and definitely did something wrong. Mine did not stay together and were crumbly. The only difference I made was using coconut flour instead of almond flour not sure if this made the difference. Help please

coconut flour is not a 1:1 sub for almond flour so that was the issue

It sure does make a difference! Coconut flour is way more absorbent than Almond flour and would suck all the moisture out.

You only need 1/3c coconut flour to replace a cup of almond flour. And even then you might have to play around with the recipe depending on what effect you’re getting up. Out of all the changes you could have made you make the hugest change you could possibly have made

I made these too. Really lovely but they fell apart when eating them , too crumbling.

Made 1/2 recipe tonight, but ran out of sour cream so used ricotta and a splash of HWC. In doing so, I forgot to halve the amount, so ended up using 1 Tbs sour cream and 4 Tbs ricotta. They took a few more minutes to bake in the individual brownie pan – but they were delicious! Can’t wait to make another batch the correct way!

Also looking for the nutritional info on these absolutely delicious biscuits

Made these biscuits this morning and they were great! Had 2 biscuits with eggs and sausage. They were very filling! Love the texture and the taste. I omitted the garlic since I wanted a breakfast biscuit. For me I thought the texture was a cross between a cornbread and a biscuit. It would be great with some chili topped with sour cream, cheese, green onion, and avocado! Yummy!

How many carbs per biscuit? They are wonderful this is my favorite biscuits recipe

I want to Thank you for this awesome recipe! I have wasted expensive ingredients on other biscuit and dinner roll recipes. This will be my go to from now on! I got 10 biscuits, and added italian seasoning ( only because of the little specks in my almond flour, I know it is just part of the almond, but creeped my out, looks like bugs lol) Thanks again!

Tried these for the first time and amazed how good they were. Usually the low carb biscuits I make are mealy. My husband made chicken and biscuits and these were perfect! Eliminated the garlic powder and made half that way. Other half I added blueberries! Yum! Freezing them to enjoy later as well. Thank you!

I just made these low carb biscuits and they are WONDERFUL! I made them in my muffin top pan and got 12 nice sized biscuits. I had to taste one before serving them – just to make sure they were as good as all the reviews said – they did not disappoint. Thank you so much for a recipe that actually looks and tastes like “real” biscuits. They are lighter and fluffier than any other recipe I’ve tried. We’ll be having these quite often, I’m sure.

Tried these this morning for breakfast. AWESOME!

Thanks Nettie!

Can olive oil be used to replace the butter?

Yummy! Made these several times. Today. We added cracklins and created a keto cracklin cornbread! My entire family loved. Definitely doubled the recipe. Kids and hubby are happy!

Very tasty and satisfying biscuit. It is really delicious and has a great texture. Wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I’m new to these ingredients but was wanting to know if i could roll and cut like reg biscuits

These are the first low carb baked goods that I have actually had turn out GREAT!
I used a muffin top pan and got 12 out of this recipe. I also used finely shredded mozzarella as
that is all I had.

This recipe is a keeper for sure.

Thank You so much for posting it.

These are unbelievable, best low carb bread product ever invented, well done! I followed the recipe exactly and baked them in a six muffin tin and they were heavenly! Fluffy but moist and delicious without crumbling , better than that seafood restaurant!! Thanks so much for this terrific recipe, I can’t believe they are low carb!

This are fantastic. ThNk you so much.

These turned out great! Even my non-keto hubby enjoyed them. Will definitely be making them again and sharing with my keto buds. Thanks!

Very simple comment— “ these are DELICIOUS “! Thanks for the recipe.

What are the nutritional stats for these?

Entered ingredients in My Fitness Pal and per biscuit it’s:

1g Carbs
9g Fat
3g Protein
95 Calories

I got 2 net carbs per
biscuit. What did I do wrong?

It could just be the brand of almond flour used, some have more carbs then others.

I was wondering, I didn’t see it posted anywhere. Thanks!

These were great!!

In my second batch, I omitted the garlic, added a little more shredded cheese, and added 4 strips of cooked and finely chopped bacon. Made them small – yield 12. Once baked, we cut them in half and put a scrambled egg in between for bacon, egg, cheese sandwiches!

Can I Substitute the sour cream With something else

Greek yogurt works

Yes. I used whole milk plain yogurt and it turned out fine.

Try room temp. cream cheese. I did not use this recipe, but I did make some biscuits this week and used cream cheese … did not have any eggs … so I used apple sauce! They were Great!!!

I’ve made these about 4 or 5 times and they always come out perfect.. this morning I decided to do a sweet biscuit and left out the cheese and garlic powder and added 1 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp of nutmeg 1/3 of a cup of sweetener and a 1 tsp of vanilla and they were a big hit.. thanks for this recipe it’s a true crowd pleaser

I’ve been looking for a low carb bread/ biscuit recipe and this is great!! I’ve made several low carb breads but they tasted too eggie. Your recipe actually tastes like bread. Thank you for sharing this!

I find using egg whites only will take the eggie taste away.

This is a carboholic on a keto diets dream! I can now eat biscuits! Bisquit sandwich, breakfast sandwich, biscuits and gravy! Biscuit LOVE! Thankyou for posting!

I just made these and cannot believe how delicious they are!! How many net carbs per biscuit??

1 gram! <3

Love the biscuits. I am definitely a biscuit girl. These were great.

I made these and they turned out excellent! I’ve been recommending the recipe to all my girlfriends. Beautiful looking and the best tasting grain free low carb baked good I’ve made. I read the lack of fluff complaints above. I have no clue what that’s about but I will say I find with any baking with almond or coconut flour it’s best to keep the wet mixture aside and slowly stir the dry stuff into it rather than mixing the wet into your dry ingredient bowl. You can keep it more airy and less chance of over stirring that way.

My husband and I love these biscuits. We’ve made them twice and they were perfect both times. He is type 2 diabetic and so happy we found this recipe. They are delicious and fluffy and light. I clicked the link and got the great pan you suggested. We wanted a larger biscuit so I doubled the recipe. We also added more cheese the second time we made them. You could also leave out the cheese and garlic and have the biscuits with jelly or honey. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.

They tasted like wheat? cornmeal biscuits to me but I used Bob’s red mill super fine almond flour which has a slight gritty texture?
I’m hoping to find better almond flour & try again.
Thanks for sharing this!

I used Trader Joe’s Blanched Almond Flour and there was no grittyness.

I used Natures Eats blanched almond flour. These were 1st biscuits I made w almond flour that we actually sort of liked! Others I threw out! They were crumbly, but still need something?
I’m going to try a bit of mayo next time in the batter too!

Made this recipe but was craving a more sweet type of bread AND I didn’t have sour cream. So. I substituted 1/3 cup of mayo for the sour cream left out the cheese and garlic and added 2 Tbs of swerve (could have gotten by with just one) but the outcome was really great and just what I was shooting for! The texture was airy and fluffy more like a cornbread…oh I also only used part of a whole egg and 1 egg white.

I’ve done something similar with Splenda, vanilla, cinnamon instead of cheese and garlic… Yummy

Hi dont know what happened but I didnt have a good outcome. I followed the recipe to the tee including the tablespoon of baking powder which i thought was way too much. It tasted like pure salt and the garlic was never mentioned in the steps. What did I do wrong? All the ingredients were good. Nothing was anywhere near expiration…

These were awesome. I did not add garlic. But they were great. I am new to me carb. I jsut started because I am type two diabetic. Thanks to low carbs and medication. I have lost 6.5 pounds in the last 3 weeks and keeping my blood sugar below 120 with medication. So thank you for your recipe. It helps and they are very filling.

Made these tonight. They were fantastic. My daughters ate several. I’d pay for these in a restaurant. Reminds me of the cheddar biscuits at red lobster.

I made the dough for 12 biscuits but once divided into my muffin pan I got 9 so calories below were the 12 recipe divided into 9 biscuits instead of 12.

I added up using the food labels on the ingredients I used and got:

Calories: 185 per biscuit. (1/9)
Total carbs: 4.8g
Net carbs 2.4g per biscuit. (1/9)

If you divided the recipe into 12 it is 139 calories and 1.8 net carbs.

Number of biscuits just depends on how you fill your pan. I preferred the thicker biscuit so did nine bigger rather than 12 smaller.

Thanks for this very good recipe.

Thank you for doing the math for me. I new at cooking low carb. Husband has type 2 diabetes. About to try them.

I made these last night and they were wonderful! I spooned the mixture onto a large cookie sheet and they spread just enough to make nice sandwich sized rounds. Thanks for the recipe!

Also is there a certain almond that works best? New to keto/low carb cooking !

What s the carb count per biscuit? And can this be made in a cast iron skillet?

Did you try them in the skillet i was wondering about that this morning.

These were amazing! Thank you for this recipe.

I have been craving a light breakfast option to the usual meat/eggs . and this is perfect. I added a little more garlic powder to this batch to have with roast and they are just amazing. I’m going to try the “cupcake” version soon! Thank you!

Just made these biscuits and They are so delicious. But only made 9 biscuits. Not complaining. Having one with some bacon and will freeze a few for later. Thank you

Hands down best …such a good low carb biscuit! Thanks for sharing!

These are the BEST biscuits, LC, that I have tried in the last 10 years. Yum!!! Thank you. :-) I have the same pans and these were the best pans to use for these biscuits because they spread.

Can I substitute Almond Meal for Almond Flour?

Pulse the meal in a food processor first and it will work better. Meal is courser.

I tried it again with a butter flavored cheese called butterkase from Germany. Perfect!!!! Same changes no garlic and added Splenda. Tastes like the biscuits I grew up with. Use with a sugar free fruit spread called La Nouba from Belgium. I am so happy!!!. Made a double batch. Hope they freeze well. Thank you so much this was the only recipe worth experimenting with and it’s easy to make.

Can I substitute the almond flour for coconut flour? I ask because I’m allergic to almonds.

I’ve recently learned about sorghum flour for folks who are gluten and nut intolerant . Maybe you could try that?

These are winners! I omitted the garlic powder and added heaping tsp of Splenda. Cooked in a cupcake pan coated with coconut oil.

My husband has an almond allergy. Is there a different “flour” that would work? I am afraid that coconut “flour” would be too dense.

You could try substituting with a Low Carb baking mix.

Nettie

I used soy flour. Turned out great!

Soy is not very good for men, something about female hormones, fyi.

Has anybody worked out the macros yet?

I used fitness pal but I only made half of the yield (Only made 6 serving). Each one came out to be 121 calories. F: 10.3g P: 5.3g C: 3.4

Thank you, Sarah for the nutrition info.

I made these biscuits yesterday morning and they are all finished today. My kids and husband loved it. Thanks for this amazing recipe.

So happy that you enjoyed them! Nettie

Thanks for this recipe but Almond Flour can not be measured in Fluid oz?? Also do you have the Macros …what are the carbs per Scone please?

My pan makes 9 biscuits. Each biscuit is 2.5 net carbs.

The recipe states it makes 12 biscuits. Your carb count is for 9 biscuits.
So, should I make 9 or 12?
What about the carbs listed below… .87?
Thank you

Calories 66
Fat 6g
Saturated Fat 3g
Carbohydrates 0.87g
Sugar 0.25g
Cholesterol 43mg
Sodium 117mg

Thanks! I was wondering how many grams of carbs per biscuit. Less than one? Amazing! I can’t wait to make me some biscuits!!

Is this per biscuit making 9?
Thanks

So happy that you enjoyed these yummy low carb biscuits!! Nettie

I just made this recipe but I baked it in a loaf pan and added everything bagel seasoning on the top. It baked for 20minutes. I wanted something more bread like and it did not disappoint. Was delicious and satisfied my craving. Thanks!
