Fluffy Keto Biscuits: A Low-Carb Delight
Missing biscuits on your keto journey? Fear not! You can enjoy warm, fluffy biscuits without derailing your diet. This recipe delivers delicious, keto-friendly biscuits that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or as a side with your favorite keto-friendly meal.
Why Keto Biscuits Work
Traditional biscuits are loaded with carbohydrates from wheat flour. This keto biscuit recipe replaces that with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. Almond flour provides a nutty flavor and a tender crumb, while coconut flour adds structure and absorbs moisture. A key ingredient is a binding agent like xanthan gum, which mimics the gluten found in traditional wheat flour, giving the biscuits a good texture.
Recipe Highlights
- Low-Carb Flour Blend: Almond flour and coconut flour form the base, keeping the carb count down.
- Binding Agent: Xanthan gum is essential for holding the biscuits together and preventing them from being crumbly.
- Fat Power: Butter (or a dairy-free alternative) adds richness and flakiness.
- Baking Powder: Leavens the biscuits, giving them a light and airy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed (or dairy-free butter alternative)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
- Cut in Butter: Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The colder the butter, the flakier the biscuits will be.
- Add Liquid: Gradually add the heavy cream (or almond milk), mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Shape Biscuits: Gently pat the dough into a circle about ¾ inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter (or a knife) to cut out biscuits.
- Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
Tips & Variations
- Cheese: Add ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients for cheesy keto biscuits.
- Herbs: Incorporate a tablespoon of dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for a savory twist.
- Sweetener: For a slightly sweeter biscuit, add 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite keto-friendly sweetener, such as erythritol or monk fruit.
- Cold Ingredients: Make sure your butter and cream are very cold to help create a flaky texture.
These keto biscuits are a fantastic way to satisfy your bread cravings while staying true to your low-carb lifestyle. Enjoy!

Because of the square body and included accessories it was also the easiest to mount right-side up while still keeping a low profile. However, because of its size and waterproofing, the battery and, with just a sliver of a screen and two buttons, changing its settings without connecting to a phone or wireless remote requires a lot of patience.
