  • For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 1 week.

How to Freeze:

  • Wrap each biscuit individually in plastic wrap and place them in a ziplock bag.

FAQs – Keto Cheddar Biscuits

1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

Not directly! Coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so you’d need to adjust the recipe by using fewer eggs and more moisture. If you want to try it, use ⅓ cup of coconut flour instead of 1 ¼ cups of almond flour.

2. Can I add other cheeses?

Absolutely! While cheddar is a classic, you can try mozzarella, Parmesan, or even pepper jack for a different flavor.

3. Are these biscuits gluten-free?

Yes! Almond flour is naturally gluten-free, making these biscuits perfect for anyone with gluten intolerance.

4. Can I make them dairy-free?

Yes! Substitute the butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free cheese for a lactose-free version.

5. What if I don’t have baking powder?

You can make a substitute by mixing ¼ teaspoon baking soda with ½ teaspoon cream of tartar.

More Serving Ideas – Get Creative!

You already know that these Keto Cheddar Biscuits are fantastic as a side dish or even as a mini sandwich. But here are a few more fun and creative ways to serve them:

1. Keto Biscuit Sliders

Slice the biscuits in half and fill them with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of mayo for a low-carb twist on a classic BLT.

2. Cheddar Biscuit Pizza Bites

Top the biscuits with a spoonful of low-carb marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, then bake for a few more minutes for mini pizza bites!

3. Biscuits with Herb Butter or Cream Cheese

Spread them with garlic butter, herb butter, or cream cheese for a simple yet delicious keto-friendly snack.

4. Seafood Pairing

Since these biscuits taste a lot like Red Lobster’s Cheddar Bay Biscuits, why not serve them alongside grilled shrimp, crab legs, or a seafood chowder?

5. Keto Breakfast Sandwich

Use them instead of regular bread to make a low-carb breakfast sandwich with eggs, sausage, and cheese.


How to Reheat These Biscuits

If you’ve stored your biscuits and need to warm them up, here’s how to bring them back to life:

  • Oven (Best Method) – Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes. This keeps them crisp and fresh.
  • Microwave (Quickest Method) – Heat on medium power for 20-30 seconds, but be careful—they might get a little soft.
  • Toaster Oven (Crispy Method) – Toast for 3-5 minutes to bring back that just-baked texture.

For frozen biscuits, let them thaw at room temperature before reheating.


More FAQs – Your Questions Answered!

6. Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. This makes it super easy to bake fresh biscuits when you’re ready.

7. What can I substitute for butter?

If you’re dairy-free, you can swap the butter for coconut oil or ghee. It will slightly change the flavor, but they’ll still be delicious!

8. Can I make these biscuits fluffier?

Yes! For extra fluffiness, try separating the egg whites from the yolks, whipping the whites until they form soft peaks, and then folding them into the batter.

9. Can I add extra flavors to these biscuits?

Of course! Some delicious add-ins include:

  • Chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Cooked crumbled bacon for extra savory goodness.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.

10. Can I make a sweet version of these biscuits?

Yes! Skip the garlic powder and cheddar cheese, and instead add:

  • 1-2 tbsp of your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • A little vanilla extract

This creates a delicious sweet biscuit perfect for serving with butter and sugar-free jam!

Notes

Store the leftovers in an air tight container for 3-4 days or you can freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months.

I love cheddar cheese in these biscuits but you can easily use your favorite type of cheese.

I recommend shredding the cheddar cheese instead of buy pre-shredded as it will melt more easily.
