Keto Biscuits
Keto Biscuits are grain free, gluten free, keto friendly and low carb. Good tasting Keto bread is hard to find but these cheddar biscuits with a garlic butter glaze are delicious! They taste just like the biscuits at Red Lobster.
KETO BISCUITS
My hubby is a faithful follower of the Keto diet and I’ve done it as well in the past. For our church potluck this weekend he was determined to make Keto friendly cheesy biscuits since everyone else was bringing cornbread to go with their chili.
My husband had a big plate of these covered in foil on his table so that he could hand them out to his friends also doing Keto at the potluck. These biscuits were so good that non-Keto people were coming up to my husband and saying, “I’ve heard you have the good biscuits!”
If you know the Keto diet well you know it’s hard to make a Keto bread that isn’t soggy or flavorless. These biscuits have a crisp outside with a tender cheesy inside.
I love these Cheddar Bay Biscuits (non-Keto) that I already have on this blog with their garlic butter glaze. These are a twist on those!
WHERE DO I BUY ALMOND FLOUR?
Almond flour is sold by the regular flour and is also sold at Costco.
WHY IS THIS KETO OR LOW-CARB?
Don’t be scared if you aren’t on the Keto diet. The Keto diet is a very low-carb diet which makes this recipe perfect with a net carb of 2 grams. See nutritional information at the bottom of the recipe.
MY BISCUITS ARE FLAT
But they taste great, right? We’ve found that the shape of the biscuits can be affected by the type of cheese you use. We like to use freshly grated cheddar cheese or cheese “off the block” sold at the store for the thicker cheese pieces. Tillamook is the brand we use. We’ve noticed that the biscuits stay in a biscuit shape and don’t flatten when you use this type of cheese. You can always add a little more almond flour to make them not as wet as well.

Notes
These are the best thing since sliced bread! I used lactaid cottage cheese, & a thicker cut shredded chedder which I can tolerate they turned out great, I don’t normally like keto breads but I will be making these a lot!
So glad you liked them.
Made these today. Very happy with texture and flavor was good. Might make next time without the garlic so to use for breakfast biscuts. Very happy and taste was great. Try them
They’re very versatile!
These look so tasty! I am lactose intolerant and was wondering if there’s a vegan replacement for cottage cheese in the recipe? Thanks!
The lactaid brand carries a lactose free cottage cheese. I’ve found it at Walmart.
I know they sell vegan cottage cheese. I’m not sure what else to sub.
These are delicious. Mine made 9 biscuits so am not sure the carb count. I used cottage cheese. They puffed up nicely. I served them with broccoli cheese stuffed turkey tenderloin topped with a little sugar free uncured bacon and organic swiss chard. We had whipped jello for dessert. Nice meal on a cold winter’s day. Thank you.
Thank you!
The best…love these! I cut the recipe in half and it turns out great. I also make them a bit bigger, because they make amazing breakfast sandwiches – just warm one up, slice in half and add a fried egg & maybe a slice of bacon.
For variety, chop up a few pieces of jalapeño in the dough.
Yum!!
I loved the sound of these biscuits and the recipe is so simple, but I am not sure what I did wrong. My biscuits seemed runny when I put them on the baking sheet. They were flat and didnt have much flavor. Advice?
The dough is definitely very wet. If you try to pile them high they bake higher.
thank you ! these are the best gluten free biscuits i’ve made! and i have searched for good recipes! the garlic butter glaze really makes it! we love them, i followed the recipe exactly and used sour cream.
Happy to hear that.
Love, love, love these!
I cut the recipe in half (because I live alone and don’t trust myself to eat just one). This worked perfectly. So easy and quick. I also changed the parsley to Italian seasoning.
Half a recipe should make 5, but I wanted a little larger, so made three. They were wonderful! The next morning, I warmed one up and carefully cut it in half. Placed an egg fried in coconut oil in the middle, and it was the best egg sandwich ever!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Absolutely delicious keto cheese biscuits, we liked them better than regular flour biscuits. I’ll make them again! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank yoU!
I’m not an experienced keto cook, and these turned out perfectly deluxe! We will be having these OFTEN. Thank you so much for this recipe!
I didn’t have enough cheddar and used ½ cup grated mexican cheese and substituted ricotta cheese for the cottage and bam! I am praying for strength not to eat all nine. Ok, ok! I’ll stop at three and wait until lunch…lol! great recipe.
Haha glad you liked it.
These are delicious! I can’t have aged cheeses, so mozzarella went in, and I used the sour cream. I didn’t measure and got 8 biscuits, so that’s on me. Now to just keep myself from eating all of them in one sitting! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
These are amazing! Subbed cream cheese for cottage cheese (didn’t have sour cream either ) & added slightly more butter. 1/2 tb. Used Mozzarella instead of cheddar. Turned out perfect! Also only got 8 out of the batch. Will make again!
Awesome!
These were delicious! I thought cottage cheese seemed a bit different, but followed the recipe t and they were so good! Then, like a precious reviewer, I subbed mozzarella for the cheddar to use these for breakfast biscuits and cut the calories slightly. They were so good as well, my kids all loved them. Thanks for the recipe, we will definitely be using this as a biscuit base throughout our low carb/keto journey and adjusting the spices and cheese depending on the meal!
Opps,I forgot to rate it 🙂 Also, I ended up making 6 biscuits from the dough using a 2 oz scoop because it was the right size for a sausage patty or fried egg and I just adjusted the calories in my fitness pal.
So glad you liked them!
These have become my go to! I do half sesame flour and half almond to reduce the carbs even more!
I just made them. They are very yummy! But, mine didn’t stay small and puffy like the picture, they flatted out some. I measured out 3 tablespoons for each. I used sour cream instead of cottage cheese.
Winner! Winner! Biscuits with dinner! So good, thank you!
The absolute best keto biscuit EVER! Thank you!
Pasadena Tx…I did a dollop for biscuit recipe said 3tblsp, I used about 2-2 1/2. When baking the dough of each biscuit spread out to an oval slice of bread. Which, was okay. The taste was delicious. Will also be great for sandwiches. Sold me, especially in the area of putting all ingredients together, preparation time was quick.
Weird. Not sure why they spread.
I have just made these twice and they flatten out like pancakes!!! I followed the recipe to a tee!!! Help
Are you at altitude by chance? Did you carefully use the right amount of butter and cottage cheese?
Well I am glad I am not the only person who had flat biscuits. I followed instructions to the letter as well. I live on gulf coast and its chilly today, low humidity but … still not sure why they are so flat. Perhaps my baking powder was too old? I have to say though the taste was still darn good.
these were amazing!!!
Thank you!
Been married 23 years. Hubby, who has never specifically asked for anything for dinner other than steak, said, ‘I want biscuits.’ So thankful your recipe delivered. Absolutely perfect, especially that garlic butter.
Awesome to hear!!!
We had these today and they were awesome!
So happy to hear that!
I tried this recipe for the first time yesterday and they were delicious! I used my food processor and raw almonds I had previously purchased so that I wouldn’t have to go shopping for almond flour. They taste really good! I think used a cookie scoop and got 12 biscuits from the recipe. I’ll be making this recipe again in the future. Thanks for posting it!!
So happy you like it!
I am so excited to find this delicious recipe. I am serving them tonight alongside Keto Beef Soup, which is another wonderful keto recipe that I have just discovered. Thank you so much for sharing. I am often disappointed in Keto baking. I will have to try some more of yours. 🙏 PS I was able to get 10 biscuits out of this recipe.
I am disappointed too with Keto baking. Glad I could help!
Love this recipe and of course the biscuits . Have added blueberries to them for our keto breakfast. Thanks for the recipe
Wow. Great idea!
How much coconut flour would I use?
Every cup of almond flour is equal to 1/4 cup coconut flour. With that being said, I haven’t tried these with coconut flour.
Since finding this recipe I have made them several times. My husband gets excited when he smells the garlic butter going on top. He knows they’re ready!
Aww thanks!
I was not able to get 10 biscuits following this recipe, barely 6. 3 tablespoons per biscuit? Should it be 3 teaspoons?
Excited to get them when they come out of the oven!
Interesting. I actually just made them tonight and got 10 biscuits. Shoot. Not sure what happened?
I wanted a neutral flavored biscuit for biscuits and gravy and sausage biscuits, so I subbed mozzarella for the cheddar. I brushed butter on top rather than the jazzed up version from the recipe. Slap a sausage patty on that thing, and you’d never know the difference. My husband’s downfall has been getting a sausage biscuit during his morning break because there were no keto friendly options. I’m freezing these and sending them with him to work from now on. Finally a bread option that’s not eggy!
YEs! I hate the eggy ones!!
