    Ingredients you need to make these low carb biscuits that taste just like the popular Red Lobster restaurant drop biscuits.

    So preheat your oven and prepare yourself for fluffy, flavorful keto almond flour biscuits – it's time to make these copycat keto biscuits!

    Step 1. Mix the Ingredients

    First, preheat your oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dry or minced fresh parsley. Whisk the dry ingredients so they are well blended.

    Add the grated butter. Using a fork mix the dry ingredients with the grated butter so that the butter is evenly coated and mixed in.

    Add the heavy cream, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve these keto Red Lobster biscuits with soups, stews, and meat or seafood entrees. See our copycat Panera's Chicken Noodle Soup, or soups like our Kapusniak Polish Cabbage Soup or copycat Panera's Tomato Soup, any of which would be elevated by these delicious keto cheddar biscuits.

    Substitutions

    You can make these keto cheddar biscuits with out any cheese, if you prefer. I've not tried the flax seed egg substitute before, but if you needed these gluten free cheddar biscuits to also be vegan, it would be worth a try. I know there are plant based butter, cheese, and milk options also.

    Variations

    These amazing low carb almond flour biscuits can be varied for either savory or sweet biscuits. I've made the following variations, and love them:

    • Keto Sausage Biscuits - replicate that delicious party appetizer of Bisquick and sausage! When working with almond flour, you will need to pre cook some crumbled sausage and then mix into the dough with the milk, eggs, and cheese. Almond flour does not absorb as much grease as all purpose flour. Roll into balls and bake on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
    • 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. Drop in ½ cup portions on the parchment and cook about 15 to 17 minutes. Brush with a little confectioners Swerve and water mixed into a slurry for a low carb, sweet top, shortcake biscuit.
    • 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.
    • Keto Cream Cheese Biscuits - for rich sweet or savory keto almond flour biscuits, substitute the butter with grated cream cheese! You can make these sweet like pastry or savory like the keto cheddar biscuits.
    • Keto Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits - use the recipe, but add in a few seeded and chopped jalapeno peppers with the cream, eggs, and cheese!

    Equipment

    Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Below are some of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use when making this dish.

    • Almond flour
    • Coconut flour
    • Baking Sheet & rack set

    Storage

    Store any uneaten keto cheddar biscuits in a air tight plastic container or ziploc bag. They store great at room temperature for 2 days, or up to a week refrigerated. Use the microwave for 10 seconds to bring them back to that freshly baked tenderness.

    Tips for Success

    • When reheating, keep the microwave to 10 second intervals to prevent the cheese biscuits becoming tough. If the cheese gets too hot, it hardens, making the biscuits stiff, hard, dry, or tough.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are Almond Flour biscuits keto friendly?

    These easy low carb and keto cheddar biscuits taste just like Red Lobster ones, with only 3g net carbs each.

    Notes

    PRO TIP: this small addition of coconut flour allows keto drop biscuits to rise and fluff more. If you don't have any on hand, replace with almond flour.
    Use Heavy cream for Keto Biscuits for the fat to carb ratio. Use dairy or plant based Milk for Low Carb biscuits. You may need to add a few tablespoons more if batter is too dry. Coconut flour is like a sponge.
