Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
almond flour
baking powder
garlic powder
salt
eggs
shredded cheddar cheese
cream cheese
butter
fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

In a separate bowl, melt the cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add the eggs and mix well until fully combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Scoop portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into biscuit rounds.

Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the biscuits are set.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8 biscuits.
Preparation time is approximately 10 minutes, and baking time is around 15 minutes, bringing the total time to about 25 minutes.

Variations

You can add cooked bacon bits to the dough for extra flavor and texture. Mixing in herbs like rosemary or thyme gives the biscuits a more aromatic profile. For a spicier version, include a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper. You can also substitute cheddar with mozzarella or a blend of cheeses for a different taste.

Storage/Reheating

Store the biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 2 months. To reheat, place them in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for a few minutes until warmed through, or microwave briefly for a quicker option.

FAQs

Can I make these biscuits dairy-free?

Yes, but you will need to use dairy-free alternatives for cheese, cream cheese, and butter. Keep in mind the texture and flavor may vary.

Are these biscuits truly keto-friendly?

Yes, they are low in carbohydrates and made with almond flour, making them suitable for a keto diet.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Coconut flour behaves differently and absorbs more moisture, so it is not a direct substitute without adjusting the recipe.

How do I know when the biscuits are done?

They should be golden on top and firm to the touch. The bottoms should also be lightly browned.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking.

Why are my biscuits too soft?

They may need a bit more baking time, or the dough could have too much moisture.

Can I add other flavors?

Absolutely. Herbs, spices, or even sun-dried tomatoes can enhance the flavor.

How should I serve these biscuits?

They are great as a side with soups, salads, or grilled meats.

Can I freeze the dough instead of baked biscuits?

Yes, portion the dough and freeze it. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Do these biscuits rise like regular biscuits?

They rise slightly but are denser than traditional biscuits due to the low-carb ingredients.

Conclusion

Keto cheddar garlic biscuits are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy a classic comfort food while staying low-carb. With their cheesy, garlicky flavor and simple preparation, they are sure to become a favorite addition to your recipe collection.
