What Makes This Recipe Great
Biscuits. The comfort food of the ages. And on the keto diet, traditional biscuits just don’t work. They’re full of regular flour, which means sooooo many carbs. But guess what? I’ve created the perfect fluffy biscuit for us low-carb eaters, and they taste JUST like the real thing.
These easy Keto Biscuits are going to BLOW YOUR MIND! They’re only 5 ingredients, 5 net carbs, and seriously take 5 minutes to make and get in the oven. Made with almond flour, these low-carb, gluten-free biscuits are an absolute miracle! They make all your keto soups + stews even more delicious!
This is seriously the tastiest keto biscuit recipe: buttery, flakey, crumbly, soft, with a crunchy edge, except they don’t have nearly the amount of carbs. You’re going to want to make a double batch!

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 melted 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 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 sprinkle flakey sea salt on the tops of the biscuits.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF with the oven rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, make the biscuit dough by combining the dry ingredients and wet ingredients and whisk the mixture with a fork until combined.
- Use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to scoop out 3-tablespoon balls. Flatten slightly with your hand to shape like biscuits. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until set and turning golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These biscuits will last in an airtight container refrigerated for 7 days or frozen for 6 months.
The resulting biscuit has a crispy exterior and a tender, crumby interior. Swear to god, they taste EXACTLY like regular biscuits–same flavor, same texture. I love the slight crunch you get from the flaky sea salt.
Expert Tips
- You can substitute the ghee for coconut oil (refined coconut oil has no coconut taste) or butter if you’re ok digesting dairy.
- You *should* be able to use a flax egg if you have an egg allergy. I haven’t tested this. If you do, let me know how it turned out in the recipe comments!
- There aren’t any substitutions for the almond flour to keep this nut-free. Coconut flour, for sure doesn’t work. You can use a gluten-free flour blend; it just won’t be keto.
- To make “cheddar biscuits,” you can add ¼-½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter, then form and bake. You can also use pepper jack, mozzarella cheese, or any type of cheese you want. Just make sure it’s shredded cheese. Or no cheese at all–it’s up to you!
Serving Tips
Serve these keto biscuits warm or at room temperature for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They taste great both ways and make an excellent side dish for any meal.

Recipe FAQs
Even though these almond flour biscuits contain all Whole30-compliant ingredients, they are not Whole30 because you can’t recreate baked goods. But they’re perfect for food freedom! The healthiest, best ingredient biscuits you’ll find.
Yes! Store your leftover biscuits in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to 6 months! Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and heat up in the oven or microwave!

Going to try this myself just a quick question though, how big are they as I saw this keto biscuit that you did with fillings? I’m from the UK so Is it a sweet biscuit or like bread?
Thanks
About my biscuits – they are not a sweet biscuit they are definitely more on the savory side Abi. I would guess they are about 3 inches across each. You can actually cut them to the size you would like.
I sure hope you like them! Happy baking.
I can’t believe how easy these were to make and they are delicious!

Hi
I was just wondering if the Keto biscuit dough would be able to be frozen? So that if I made a bigger batch I could freeze half to use later. Like cookie dough?
Thanks
Caroline
I haven’t recipe tested freezing the biscuits dough, but I think it would work. I would cut the biscuits and flash freeze them individually in the freezer. Once they are frozen you could put them in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. To cook, I would thaw them overnight in the refrigerator and then bake them according to the recipe once they are thawed. Again, I haven’t tested this but I sure hope it works!
I love the tip of using a scoop and flattening them out!
I am so glad you liked my tip about using a scoop to flatten the biscuits Ashley. It sure helps them bake more evenly!
Watched this in your Instagram and had to have it! Walked out to my kitchen and less than 30 minutes later sat down to enjoy. So so so so good. Thank you!!! Your recipes are going to be a life saver during my type 1 pregnancy 💚💚
I am so happy you liked my biscuits Nicole! I love that you watched it on Instagram and 30 minutes later you were enjoying it! That is the best! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
do you think these could be made w/almond pulp?
I don’t think almond pulp would be a good substitute for the almond flour Jessica. You could try reducing the flour somewhat and using pulp. I haven’t recipe tested this so I don’t know how it will turn out. I think it might be a little dense and the biscuits may not rise enough. Here is a link to a recipe I have for almond pulp, it’s crackers and they are delicious!

I am so glad you liked my biscuits Alexa! They are one of my favorite comfort snacks. So happy you liked them.
These are magical! I can’t believe they are so easy yet so good! For me, they don’t need the salt on top. Also, I must have a big ice cream scoop because I only got 6, haha! Family approved!
I am so happy you liked my biscuits Amanda. I am so glad they were easy to make. I am glad your family liked them!

I am so happy you like these Katie!
