How to Make Keto Biscuits
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature creates a warm environment for the biscuits to rise beautifully while baking.
-
Combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. This mixture is the foundation for our soft biscuit texture, ensuring a perfect low-carb base.
-
Beat together softened butter, cream cheese, and erythritol in another bowl until creamy. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well integrated for that rich and buttery flavor.
-
Mix the dry and wet ingredients gradually to form a dough. Be cautious not to overmix to maintain a soft, tender biscuit texture.
-
Shape the dough into golf ball-sized portions and place on a lined baking sheet, gently flattening each ball for even cooking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the delightful aroma fills your kitchen.
-
Cool the biscuits on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Optional: Serve warm with butter or your favorite low-carb spread for an extra indulgent treat.

Expert Tips for Keto Biscuits
-
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh baking powder is key for fluffy biscuits; expired leavening agents can lead to dense results.
-
Avoid Overmixing: Gently combine wet and dry ingredients to keep your Keto Biscuits tender; overmixing leads to a tough texture.
-
Uniform Size: For even baking, shape your biscuit dough into uniform balls; each should be about the size of a golf ball.
-
Customize Wisely: Feel free to add herbs or shredded cheese for extra flavor, but adjust your other ingredients to maintain the low-carb balance.
-
Cool Properly: Allow biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet for the best texture before transferring them to a wire rack.
How to Store and Freeze Keto Biscuits
Room Temperature: Keto Biscuits can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days in a tightly sealed container to maintain freshness.
Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This keeps them moist and ready for snacking.
Freezer: For longer storage, freeze the biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
Reheating: Reheat in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes before serving, ensuring your Keto Biscuits are deliciously soft!
Make Ahead Options
These Keto Biscuits are fantastic for meal prep, saving you time on busy weeknights! You can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance; just store it tightly wrapped in the refrigerator to prevent drying out. Alternatively, you can shape them into balls and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to bake, simply place them on a lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven – they’ll taste just as delicious as if made fresh! If you prefer, you can also freeze the formed biscuits for longer storage – just bake them directly from the freezer, adding an extra minute or two to the baking time. Enjoy the convenience of having these delightful Keto Biscuits ready to go whenever cravings strike!

Keto Biscuits Recipe FAQs
What type of almond flour should I use for Keto Biscuits?
I recommend using finely ground blanched almond flour for the best texture and flavor. Avoid almond meal as it may yield a more grainy texture in your biscuits.
How should I store leftover Keto Biscuits?
Store any leftover Keto Biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This will help keep them moist and ready for a quick snack or side dish!
Can I freeze Keto Biscuits, and if so, how?
Absolutely! To freeze, first arrange the cooled biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch. Freeze them until solid (about 1-2 hours), then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to 3 months. For the best results, reheat in the oven after thawing.
What can I substitute for erythritol if I prefer another sweetener in my Keto Biscuits?
You can use stevia or monk fruit sweetener as alternatives to erythritol. Just ensure you follow the conversion recommendations since they’re often sweeter than erythritol. Start with half the amount and adjust to taste!
Do these Keto Biscuits contain gluten?
No, these Keto Biscuits are gluten-free! They are fantastic for those following a gluten-free diet since they are made with almond flour instead of wheat flour.
Why did my Keto Biscuits come out dense?
If your Keto Biscuits are dense, it’s likely they were overmixed or the baking powder was old. Always mix until just combined and check the baking powder freshness for optimal rise!
