If you’re following a keto diet, you know how challenging it can be to find delicious, low-carb alternatives to your favorite comfort foods. Biscuits, with their fluffy texture and buttery taste, often seem like an impossible dream. But fear not! With a few clever ingredient swaps, you can enjoy warm, satisfying biscuits without derailing your keto journey. Today, I’m excited to share my ultimate keto biscuit recipe that will have you reaching for seconds. I have used this recipe sooo many times and love it! Great for freezing too, so don’t be shy about making a few extra batches if you have the chance!
Why Keto Biscuits?
Traditional biscuits are made with wheat flour, which is high in carbohydrates. This makes them a no-go for those on a keto diet, where the goal is to minimize carb intake to induce a state of ketosis. However, with the right ingredients, you can replicate the texture and taste of traditional biscuits while keeping your carbs in check.
The Ingredients:
– 2 cups almond flour
– 1/4 cup coconut flour
– 1 tbsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 cup sour cream
– 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
The Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease your muffin pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
3. Beat eggs, then add melted butter and sour cream.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, fold in cheese if desired.
5. Spoon batter into muffin pan.
6. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
7. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips for Perfect Keto Biscuits
Cold Butter is Key: Just like with traditional biscuits, keeping the butter cold ensures a flaky texture.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the dough can lead to dense biscuits. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Experiment with Flavors: While cheddar cheese is a great addition, you can also try other mix-ins like garlic powder, herbs, or even a bit of crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Enjoying Your Keto Biscuits
These biscuits are incredibly versatile. They make a great side for soups and stews, a base for keto-friendly breakfast sandwiches, or simply enjoyed on their own with a pat of butter. The best part? They fit perfectly within your keto macros, so you can indulge without guilt.
