Keto Three-Cheese Biscuits (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)
Makes: 6–8 biscuits
Net carbs: ~2–3g per biscuit (depending on cheese brands)
Ingredients
Dry
-
1½ cups almond flour (fine, blanched)
-
1 tbsp coconut flour
-
1½ tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional but recommended)
-
¼ tsp onion powder (optional)
Cheese (the magic trio)
-
¾ cup shredded mozzarella (for stretch + structure)
-
½ cup shredded cheddar (sharp flavor)
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan (savory depth)
Wet
-
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
-
2 large eggs, room temperature
-
2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for brushing)
Optional Toppers
-
Flaky salt
-
Garlic butter
-
Chopped chives or parsley
Instructions
1. Prep
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
-
Bring eggs to room temp (important for texture)
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
-
Almond flour
-
Coconut flour
-
Baking powder
-
Salt
-
Garlic & onion powder
Break up any almond flour clumps—this matters.
3. Melt the Cheese
In a microwave-safe bowl:
-
Mozzarella
-
Cheddar
-
Cream cheese
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth (about 1–1½ minutes total).
4. Combine Wet Ingredients
-
Stir melted butter into the cheese mixture
-
Quickly mix in eggs one at a time (work fast so eggs don’t scramble)
5. Make the Dough
-
Add dry ingredients to cheese mixture
-
Stir until thick, then knead with hands until smooth and slightly sticky
If dough feels:
-
Too wet: add 1 tsp almond flour
-
Too dry: add 1 tsp melted butter or cream
6. Shape Biscuits
-
Divide dough into 6–8 portions
-
Roll into balls and gently flatten into biscuit shapes
-
Place 2 inches apart on baking sheet
-
Sprinkle tops with Parmesan or flaky salt if desired
7. Bake
-
Bake 15–18 minutes
-
Tops should be golden brown
-
Centers should feel set, not jiggly
Optional: Broil for 30–60 seconds for extra browning (watch closely!)
8. Finish
-
Brush warm biscuits with melted butter
-
Add herbs or garlic butter if using
-
Cool for 5 minutes (they firm up as they rest)
Pro Tips for Best Texture
-
Use low-moisture mozzarella, not fresh
-
Fine almond flour = lighter biscuits
-
Don’t overbake or they’ll dry out
-
Reheat in oven or air fryer, not microwave
Flavor Variations
-
Red Lobster-style: Add ½ tsp garlic powder + parsley + garlic butter topping
-
Jalapeño cheddar: Add diced jalapeños
-
Bacon cheese: Fold in cooked bacon crumbles
-
Italian: Add oregano + basil + extra Parmesan
