Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits are a super tasty, low carb, cheesy garlic biscuit that rivals a high carb restaurant favorite.

This copy cat version of a favorite biscuit is only 2g net carbs per biscuit.

A perfectly yummy biscuit to serve with your favorite low-carb soups, chili, or any favorite dinner or breakfast.

Before I had to start eating gluten-free & low carb, I remember that I loved going to a particular seafood restaurant.

This restaurant always serves these amazing cheesy garlic biscuits that are so very addictive.

The whole family would get slightly aggressive over the basket of cheesy garlic biscuits.

My mother-in-law, who is such a character, would always stash all the biscuits from the restaurant in her large, tote-bag-sized purse.

I remember being very embarrassed at the time, but now it makes for such a funny & classic memory of my mother-in-law being her quirky self.

It is funny how the things that annoy you the most about a person, can also be what you miss after a person is gone.

Our family loves this, low-carb copy-cat version of cheesy garlic biscuits. They also fight over the biscuits at dinner, which is always a good sign.

Next time I will make a double batch of these biscuits.

Common Questions About the Keto Cheesy Garlic Biscuits Recipe

Do I need to use the xanthan gum in the recipe?

The xanthan gum is optional and can be omitted. The recipe works fine without it. I do find that it does make a slightly better texture in baking gluten-free bread & biscuits.

Can I use other types of cheese in place of the cheddar cheese?

You can use jack cheese or pepper jack in place of cheddar if you prefer, but the biscuits will have a different flavor.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour in the recipe?

I prefer the almond flour in this recipe as coconut flour can be slightly sweet in flavor for this savory type of recipe.

How do I store these biscuits?

If there are leftover biscuits, then they can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds (around20-25 seconds), or a warm oven for a few minutes (3 minutes) before serving.

Servings 9

Calories 160 kcal

Ingredients

1 ½ cups Blanched Fine Almond Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum *optional
¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
2 large Eggs
⅓ cup Sour Cream Full Fat
3 tablespoon Butter melted
¾ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Garlic Butter Topping

2 tablespoon Butter melted
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ tablespoon Parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 ℉ (180℃) and grease the muffin pan cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, salt, baking powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and optional xanthan gum.
In a medium-sized bowl combine eggs, sour cream, and 3 tablespoon melted butter, and mix until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined. It should form a thick sticky batter.
Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir into the batter.
Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, add about 3 tablespoon of batter into each of the 9 muffin cups (some of the 12 cups will be empty). Use a spoon to spread and fill the muffin cups.
Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven.
In a small bowl, dissolve and stir ½ teaspoon garlic powder into 2 tablespoon melted butter. Stir in chopped parsley.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with garlic butter while the biscuits are still warm.
Loosen the sides of the biscuits from the muffin pan with a butter knife and gently remove the biscuits from the pan. Serve warm. Store any leftover biscuits in a sealed container in the fridge.

Can this recipe be made ahead and cooked the day of? I'm looking to prep them the day before Thanksgiving and popping them in the oven to cook the day of.

  Hi Amanda,
  I have not tried that, but I think you could prep the day before and bake the day of. I just would not prep more than one day in advance.

    Is there any other flour I can use that you could recommend, I'm just not a fan of the almond flour, it's to gritty for me no matter what I do, it's just to gritty. Thank You

Excellent, followed the recipe exactly and was not disappointed! My first time using xanthan gum, I now realize what all of my other attempts at keto baking were missing. Closest to bread/biscuit texture and feel I've had in a very long time. The best keto version of cheddar garlic biscuits I've found so far, had to stop myself after eating two in 15 minutes. Thank you for sharing, you're the best!

these are totally amazing. I've been keto for about a year, but really miss my toast for breakfast. These are going to make all the difference - obviously, they're not toast, but they are absolutely delicious and it'll be no hardship whatso ever having one of these in the morning! Thank you !

  You might be able to substitute the sour cream with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt.

This was my first keto baking experience. As I was mixing it, the texture of the dough seemed a little questionable, but were way better than I anticipated. Now I have not been able to have gluten for 9+ years, so I may be a little tainted…
Had a little bit of a cornmeal texture, which I liked. Made for someone not GF and not on Keto and they said they enjoyed. Would make again!

Really great! I was expecting them to taste like the keto English muffin (I’m not a fan) BUT these are great! I used almond meal flour and left out the xantham gum.

  These biscuits have helped me to lose almost 50 lbs. Have been on a Keto diet since September and I make a batch every week. I love them as a mini breakfast sandwich with a little scrambled egg and bacon. Delicious.
