Ingredient Notes
almond flour: I don’t have a nut-free flour recommendation. I tried this with coconut flour and they did not turn out at all. If you are able to come up with a nut-free flour substitute for these biscuits, please share in the comments!
ghee: You can also use coconut oil or vegan butter. If you’re okay with dairy, you can also use regular butter. All quantities stay the same!
eggs: I use regular eggs, but if you prefer not to, you can substitute 2 flax egg replacements instead.
baking powder: I like to use gluten-free baking powder to keep these keto biscuits dairy free and gluten free. Gluten-free baking powder is easy to find at Sprouts, Thrive Market, and other local grocery stores.
salt: I use Kosher salt and LOVE IT. I also use flakey sea salt to sprinkle on top of the biscuits.
Recipe Step by Step
- In 1 bowl, combine almond flour, melted ghee, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Stir together, and you’re practically done!
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out the biscuits on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Lightly flatten to give them that biscuit shape. Top with flaky sea salt and bake!
The resulting biscuit has a crispy exterior and a tender crumby interior. Swear to god, they taste EXACTLY like regular biscuits. I love the slight crunch you get from the flaky sea salt.

Natalie – OMG you are a kitchen genius! Every Saturday, we get bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwiches from our local cafe after my husband runs. I recently started working with a nutritionist to help me lose weight and address some GI issues I’ve been having. I made tried these keto biscuits today for myself as a Saturday breakfast treat I can enjoy when my guys get the bagel sandwiches. Not only did I love the biscuit sandwich I made for myself, my husband and son wanted to try a biscuit. I warned them – these probably won’t be like the biscuits I used to make. They LOVED them! Even my 9 year old son who willingly eats only 5 foods told me to make them again. (The guys had the biscuits with a little ghee.) I’ve made several of your recipes because they fit in well with my current food plan. I’ve lost 24 lbs from the last week of March to Memorial Day, and I even had a hysterectomy the other week! Thanks so much for your passion to make tasty healthy foods and please do NOT stop!
It’s the first time that I tried baking with almond flour and it was perfect for sweetness I added 2 tblspn of xylitol and a TSP of vanilla essence it was amazing. Thank you
Hi Natalie! My daughter and I just had one of these, melted a bit of butter of them while they were still warm YUM!! They were amazing!. Added a bit of the coarse salt as well and you are right, it made them even tastier. I really enjoy the recipes in Taste Lovely. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
Hi Paulette! That sounds delicious! I am so glad you like this recipe. Thank you!
Thank you for the recipe. I cooked the vegan version. We are a bit picky and we enjoy it. We will bake again!
Thank you, Chad! I am so honored you liked this recipe!
Where are you able to find non-dairy ghee? I thought it was clarified butter. Would love to know if non-dairy ghee exists because it sounds great for people who cannot have dairy.
Ghee has the milk solids removed, so it’s rare for it to cause digestion issues that you would get from lactose.
Ghee is clarified butter.
Okay, so I’ve watched you make these on IG for a few years now, but was reluctant to try it, however, I really like this keto version of a biscuit! I love its versatility. My son really likes sausage biscuits and I was trying to find a healthier version and this passed his 3 year old picky eater taste test! I also can drizzle honey on it and it’s a nice little treat. Thanks Natalie!
Hi Lisa! I am so glad you gave them a try! You can really do so much with them, and I love to hear your picky eater loves them too! Makes my day!
I just tossed these together tonight after a very busy day with two little kids and they came out *perfectly*. My kids wolfed them down and I promised my daughter she could have another for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks so much, Natalie!!
Yes! Way to go momma! I am so glad they liked them so much. Biscuits for dinner and breakfast sounds so perfect!
I used this recipe to make a biscuit topping for a keto-friendly “chicken pot pie”. Wow, it turned out to be the perfect thing! Crisp on the outside and tender (not just crumbly) on the inside.
I do the same thing for my keto chicken pot pie! It’s SO good right?? Love this so much. Thank you!
Wow, SO SO good and easy! It was the perfect compliment to my chili tonight and cannot wait to make these again. Thank you for such a delish recipe!
Yea! Oh, they are SO perfect with chili! So glad you liked them!
This recipe has been a go to in our house lately. My family likes a big Sunday breakfast with biscuits, scrambled eggs, berries and bacon. All three of us are Keto and try to limit dairy, so this recipe is absolutely perfect! My picky five year old approves as well.
We’ve used the biscuits for strawberry shortcake, croutons and have added a cheese herb mixture for a copycat Red Lobster biscuit.
The biscuits have a crisp outside with a light fluffy inside. Just like a regular biscuit! Plus the recipe is SO EASY!
Thanks Natalie! Fantastic recipe!
Amanda! This totally made my day! Love how versatile these biscuits are for so many recipes and that they are kid-approved :) Copycat Red Lobster biscuits sound SO GOOD! Love having you here!
So good! I think these are the best I’ve tried yet and I’ve tried sooo many. 😊 Thanks
Hi Lisa! I am so happy to hear you like my Keto Biscuits! This is one of my all time favorites! So honored to have you here.
Made them last night and making them again today and this weekend (as berry shortcakes). They are soooo- easy, foolproof and delicious!
I love to hear that they were foolproof, easy and delicious Wendy. Yeah! So happy you will be making them again.
Thank you for sharing, these were so good! I did have some trouble cutting mine to make a little breakfast sandwich (requested by my son!), do you have any tips? The bottom stayed together well but the top kind of crumbled. Maybe I made them too wide?
I am so glad you enjoyed the biscuits Julie. I am bummed they didn’t hold together well. I haven’t experienced that problem so I am not sure why that happened. They should be relatively small in size, just 3 tablespoons in total. Also, you may have slightly overcooked them which could have dried them out for you. I sure hope they turn out better for you next time.
I added 1 chopped jalapeño with the heat removed (filament and seeds) and 1/3 cup aged cheddar cheese , cooked in convection oven under convection bake added 3 minutes to bake time. I use them for lunch sandwich biscuits. So far lost 26 lbs with your recipes!
Wow! Congratulations to you for losing 26 pounds Scott! That is fantastic! I am so happy you have enjoyed my recipes. Thanks for sharing how you served the biscuits. Sounds like they were delicious!
I hate to be “that” person, because I do love your recipes…but this is ingredient per ingredient from a different blogger. I realize the nap is different, and maybe you honestly didn’t know? I follow both blogs which is why I knew I saw this before.
Thanks so much for reaching out C-leigh. It really isn’t unusual for blogs to have recipes that are very similar. I did check the blog and that recipe calls for sour cream and my biscuits do not. I am sure that blogger worked as hard on her recipe as I did on mine. I can assure you my recipe is original. If my recipes are ever inspired by another recipe I always give credit to the site or blogger. There are literally hundreds of Keto biscuit recipes on the internet and biscuit recipes are all using almond flour, butter, salt and baking powder. I do appreciate you sharing this information with me though! :)
I missed biscuits on my gluten free lifestyle and was tired of spending money on a takeout gluten free breakfast sandwich. I just made these and they are so good!
I made them a little larger bc I wanted to split and make a sandwich with some turkey.
Next time I will try to freeze them, par thaw and split for a grilled biscuit sandwich to add more texture to a sandwich.
Highly recommend!
Serving them as a turkey sandwich is so delicious Amanda. Thank you so much for the feedback, it really means a lot to me.
I followed the directions but my biscuits totally fell apart. They did not stay together, Not sure what I did wrong
Well shoot! I am so bummed you made my biscuits and they fell apart for you Joty. I make them all the time and have not had that happen. I have been trying to think of why this may have happened. Maybe they were baked a little too long? Sometimes when you shape the biscuits, you need to form them a bit in your hand to keep them together. Did you substitute any ingredients? I know what a bummer it is to try a new recipe and it did not turn out well. I sure hope they turn out better for you next time!
