If you’re following a low-carb or ketogenic diet and missing the comfort of warm, flaky biscuits, you’re going to love these buttery keto biscuits. With only 2 grams of net carbs per serving, they’re perfect for breakfast, a side with soup, or even used as a sandwich base.
This is the ultimate keto almond flour biscuit recipe, combining a golden crisp outside with a tender, soft center. And the best part? These low-carb biscuits are ready in under 20 minutes from start to finish, making them ideal for busy weekdays or lazy weekends.
Why These Are the Best Keto Biscuits
I’ve spent weeks developing the perfect texture and taste for these low-carb biscuits. The key was using blanched almond flour to mimic the lightness of all-purpose flour without the carbs. The balance of baking soda and baking powder gives a beautiful lift, while chilled butter ensures flaky layers. A touch of shredded cheese adds extra flavor and richness—totally optional, but highly recommended.
Healthier Than Traditional Biscuits
Conventional biscuits use refined white flour and are loaded with carbs. This low carb biscuit recipe skips all that and uses wholesome, keto-approved ingredients. You still get the classic biscuit experience, minus the blood sugar spikes. Plus, each biscuit delivers 7 grams of protein and healthy fats that keep you full longer.
Ingredients
- Almond Flour – 2 ½ cups, blanched (not almond meal). This gives a fluffy, bread-like texture.
- Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons, helps the dough rise.
- Baking Soda – ½ teaspoon, activates the acidity for better lift.
- Salt – ¼ teaspoon, to bring out flavor.
- Unsalted Butter – 3 tablespoons, chopped cold. Keeps biscuits flaky.
- Eggs – 2 large, brought to room temperature.
- Milk – ¼ cup, preferably unsweetened almond milk, but any keto-friendly milk will work.
- Shredded Cheese (Optional) – ¼ cup, mozzarella or cheddar for extra taste.
How to Make Keto Biscuits at Home
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare
Set your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. - Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Incorporate the Butter
Add in the cold, chopped butter. Using a fork or pastry cutter, blend it into the dry ingredients until you see a crumb-like consistency. - Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk, crack in the eggs, and fold in the shredded cheese if using. Stir until the mixture is just combined—don’t overmix. - Shape the Biscuits
Scoop out ¼ cup portions of the dough and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave 2–3 inches of space between each. Use a spoon to gently press the sides to shape them into rustic rounds. - Bake
Bake the biscuits for around 12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown. - Cool and Serve
Let the biscuits rest for 10 minutes. You can brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
Keto Cooking Tips & Tricks
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the dough just until the ingredients are incorporated. Overworking the dough makes the biscuits dense.
- Cold Butter is Key: Keep your butter cold to achieve flaky layers. Avoid melted or room-temperature butter.
- Golden Tops = Ready: Remove the biscuits as soon as the tops turn golden. Overbaking can dry them out.
- Add Herbs or Spices: Want more flavor? Try garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or dried herbs like rosemary.
- Misshapen is Perfect: These are drop biscuits, so don’t worry about perfect shapes—they’re meant to be rustic and uneven.
Storing & Reheating Almond Flour Biscuits
- At Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container lined with paper towels. They stay fresh for 4–5 days.
- In the Fridge: Keep them in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
- In the Freezer: Freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 6 months. Reheat from frozen or thaw first.
- To Reheat: Microwave for 30 seconds or bake at 350°F for 5 minutes.
