Table of Contents

Pantry and grocery items used to make keto biscuits

Almond Flour
Baking Powder
Garlic Powder
Cheddar Cheese – use whatever kind of cheddar you like. For a stronger taste, use extra sharp cheddar. For a more mild flavor, use mild cheddar! It can also be purchased in block form and you can shred it yourself, or pre-shredded will work too.
Cream Cheese
Large Eggs
Cream of Tartar
Unsalted Butter
Fresh or Dried Chives

If you already make a lot of keto dishes, you should have most of the ingredients on hand already, easy peasy!

You can skip the cream of Tartar, but it helps to keep the egg whites nice and fluffy when folding into the batter. You can also substitute any firm cheese in place of the cheddar. I suggest using Mozzarella, Monterrey Jack, and Colby. Even Pepper Jack will work for an extra spicy kick!

Feel free to get creative! Mix up the cheeses for your own personal cheese blend.

Equipment needed to make keto cheddar biscuits

Two large glass bowls for making and mixing the dough.
A hand mixer to whip the egg whites and combine the dough.
A rubber spatula to fold in the egg whites into the dough.
Parchment paper, I like to use the unbleached kind.
Baking sheets
A cooling wired rack.
Cutting board
Chef’s knife
Measuring cups and spoons
Basting brush for the epic buttery topping.

You can also use a stand mixer, totally up to you. I just prefer a hand mixer!

How to make keto cheddar bay biscuits?

In a large bowl, add the almond flour and the baking powder and whisk it together.
Place the cream cheese and most of the shredded cheddar into a microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the cheeses in the microwave.
While the cheese is melting, separate the eggs, place the whites in a large bowl that is preferably not plastic, and save the egg yolks for later.
Whip the egg whites and cream of tartar with a hand mixer to form stiff peaks.
Place the melted cheese into the bowl with the almond flour.
Using the hand mixer (no need to clean!), on the medium-speed mix until just combined. Add in the egg yolks and mix to combine.
Add the egg whites to the bowl and fold in with a rubber spatula. Try to keep as much air as you can in the egg whites, it may take a couple of minutes to mix it well.
Add some more shredded cheddar and fold it into the mixture, you can also reserve some for a topping later.
Evenly dollop 10 biscuits about 3-inches apart on your lined baking sheets.
Optional, top with a little bit more of the shredded cheddar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, make the epic garlic butter topping by whisking together the melted butter, garlic powder, and optional chives.
Slather the hot out of the oven golden brown biscuits with that buttery garlicky goodness.

Tried and True Tips for an easy cooking experience

If you have never made any kind of keto bread before, this is definitely a new experience.

I get it, it sounds weird. But, trust me it works!

The key is all in those egg whites. Make sure they are at stiff peaks. Stiff peaks mean they are whipped long enough that they will stand on their own and not droop. Any pattern made into the egg whites will stay set.

When it comes to the melting of the cheese, easy does it. Make sure to microwave in intervals, this is key. Also, make sure to do this just before adding the cheese into the mix, it will cool down and become tough to incorporate into the dough super quick!

Keto Cheddar Biscuits on a white decorative plate. — Pretty and delicious. Best of all, these biscuits are keto friendly !

What are keto biscuits?

Keto biscuits are light and airy biscuits made with ingredients that are keto-friendly. These keto biscuits are made with simple ingredients including cheddar cheese, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, and cream cheese.

I made these keto cheddar biscuits extra special by topping them with a mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and chives to mimic everyone?s favorite non-keto friendly cheddar bay biscuits.

I know you are wondering how I got these keto cheddar biscuits to come out so light and fluffy. Easy! By adding both whipped egg whites and baking powder to the mix. The end result is perfectly fluffy keto biscuits.

How many carbs in keto cheddar biscuits?

For the recipe I am providing for you today, there are 4.6 total net carbs. The whole recipe makes 10 good sized biscuits and they could easily be made half the size if you wanted a smaller carb number.

If you did decide to make these keto cheddar biscuits with almond flour smaller, portion them out into 20 even biscuits.

Then, you will need to cut the baking time down as well. I would start at the 6-minute mark and keep an eye on them.

The keto biscuits are ready when they are golden brown.

How to store keto biscuits?

Store uneaten biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I suggest warming them a little in the microwave or oven again before serving.

You can also freeze them! Wrap leftover biscuits in foil, place in a freezer-safe bag, and place in the freezer. Use within 3 months.

I love to serve these keto cheddar biscuits as-is with any meal I’m having. They are also good slathered with more butter. Or, toast in the morning with some more melty cheese and sliced avocado.
