Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour – a low-carb, gluten-free base
1 tablespoon baking powder – gives the biscuits a fluffy lift
1 teaspoon garlic powder – adds a savory, aromatic kick
1/2 teaspoon salt – enhances flavor
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted – for richness and moisture
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – sharp or mild, your choice
2 large eggs – binds everything together
1/2 cup heavy cream – makes the biscuits tender and rich
8 oz crab meat, drained and flaked – adds protein and delicious seafood flavor
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley – for a burst of color and freshness
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
Almond flour
Baking powder
Garlic powder
Salt
Tip: Sift the almond flour for a smoother texture.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in the following:
Melted butter
Shredded cheddar cheese
Eggs
Heavy cream
Mix well until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in the Crab & Herbs
Gently fold in:
Flaked crab meat
Chopped parsley
Be careful not to overmix—this helps keep the crab pieces intact and the biscuits tender.
Step 5: Shape & Bake
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet, forming 8 equal-sized biscuits. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if desired.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the pan before serving. Enjoy them warm with melted butter, a dollop of sour cream, or alongside a bowl of keto clam chowder.
Variations & Pro Tips
Want More Flavor?
Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Mix in chopped chives or dill for an herbaceous twist.
No Crab? No Problem.
Make plain cheddar keto biscuits by omitting the crab.
Try bacon bits or shredded rotisserie chicken for a meaty substitute.
Dairy-Free Option
Use dairy-free cheddar and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
Helpful Tips for Success
Use fresh lump crab for best texture and flavor. Canned works in a pinch but should be well-drained.
Do not overmix after adding the crab — keep the texture light and tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes to crisp them back up.
