- Keto Shortcake Biscuits - omit the garlic powder, parsley, and the cheese. Add a little of your favorite sweetener (monkfruit, allulose, etc.) and a teaspoon of vanilla.
- Keto Strawberry Shortcake - Bake the Keto Shortcake Biscuits, then slice in half, top with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and the top half of the sweet keto biscuit for Keto Strawberry shortcake.
