Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until the dough is thick and well combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky.
3. Shape the Biscuits:
- Using your hands or a spoon, scoop the dough and form 8-10 biscuit-sized portions. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart. You can shape them into rounds or flatten them slightly, depending on how you like your biscuits.
4. Bake the Biscuits:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Optional: Add Butter and Garnish:
- Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with a little melted butter for extra richness.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor, if desired.
6. Serve:
- Serve the Keto Cheddar Biscuits warm, and enjoy with a side of keto-friendly gravy, soup, or as a breakfast item with scrambled eggs or bacon.
Tips:
- Cheese: Use sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor, or experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses.
- Fluffier Biscuits: If you prefer a lighter texture, you can add 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum to help the biscuits rise and hold their shape better.
- Make it Garlic Butter Biscuits: If you love garlic, brush the top of the biscuits with garlic butter right after baking for an extra layer of flavor.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes for a fresh, crispy texture.
Storage:
- These Keto Cheddar Biscuits can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, let the biscuits cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
Serving Suggestions:
- These biscuits pair perfectly with a bowl of keto soup, such as broccoli cheese soup or chicken and vegetable soup.
- Serve alongside your keto breakfast (with eggs, bacon, and avocado) or as a delicious addition to your dinner with roasted meats or salads.
These Keto Cheddar Biscuits are cheesy, fluffy, and the perfect low-carb replacement for traditional bread or biscuits. Enjoy!
