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.

Hoping for dairy free, but ghee is dairy – it’s just clarified butter.
Ghee removes the lactose and casein so it is tolerated well by people who are lactose intolerant Cat. If you prefer to avoid dairy altogether, just substitute coconut oil. I sure hope you like them.
Taste so good! Easy to make and really hit the spot with our chili!
I love to hear they were easy to make and tasted good Yvonne! Serving them with chili sounds so delicious!
Did you triple the wet ingredients or use oly 1/3 of the amount of coconut flour for the dry? Coconut flour absorbs 3xs as a much liquid. Maybe a combination of almond flour and almond flour would turn out better?
The recipe calls for almond flour. I haven’t actually recipe tested them with coconut flour Cheryl, but you are right coconut flour does absorb more liquid than the almond flour. I sure hope you like them though! :)
Can you provide the recipe in grams/ounces?
It allows so much more accurate reproduction of a recipe when baking!!
(Example: are the ingredients packed solid or lightly… it’s all relative with cups)
Thanks in advance!
I found an online tool you could use to convert the recipe to grams Deb. I hope it is helpful for you and sure hope you like the biscuits!

Your video just makes me so happy. Lol. Made these today for biscuits and gravy and sloppy Joe’s. Thank you so much! They are perfect. 🤩
I am so glad you enjoyed my video Richelle! Sounds like you got some good use out of the biscuits. Serving them as sloppy joes and with gravy is so yummy and comforting. Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
I’ve made them, I love them, they’re SO EASY and SO DELICIOUS! My fiancé ate most of them and he can be pretty picky. I can’t wait to make them tonight with your creamy chicken chowder soup. Your recipes never disappoint.
I love that your picky fiance ate most of them Gina. I always get so excited when I make a new recipe and my family enjoys it. I sure hope you like the soup tonight!
I really wanted these to be good, but I am disappointed. I am trying to make better food choices by trying Whole30/keto recipes while still having plenty of flavor in my meals since sacrificing bread most of the time is devastating enough. They are so dry from lack of wet ingredients that they crumble and fall apart, which might be the point. The salt on top does help but the overall flavor of the biscuit is bland. Would rather spend calories on a biscuit with flavor for sure. Bad texture, lack of flavor. Maybe try adding in wet ingredients when you make these to give them the fluffy texture. Keto biscuits can be good, just have to play around with what works! Less ingredients doesn’t always mean good flavor. I would not recommend this recipe if you are looking for a full bodied copycat biscuit.
So sorry you didn’t enjoy the biscuits Caroline. I appreciate your feedback though.
I just made these tonight for the first time! They were so delicious! Definitely a great substitute for a regular biscuit! I will definitely be making these again!
So glad they turned out delicious and you will be making them again Meredith.
So easy, simple ingredients and so delicious! A great way to add something special to your breakfast or to have with cheese for a snack.
I agree, they are such a tasty addition to breakfast and are wonderful as a snack Courntey. Thank you so much for the feedback, it really means a lot to me.
Used this recipe to top my chicken pot pie and it made it 10000 times better! Such a versatile recipe and is so quick to make! I highly recommend it
Isn’t the Keto biscuit recipe fantastic on a chicken pot pie Stacey? I also love it with leftover turkey for a turkey pot pie. So glad you enjoyed it!
You have done it AGAIN!!! Finally made these bad boys after you posted them on your story and they are seriously AMAZING. And omg…. right out of the oven they are freaking delicious.
I love your recipes Natalie!! And the fact they are normal everyday ingredients, always quick and easy to prepare… and most important DELICIOUS! Thank you!!
I am so happy you liked my biscuits Chelsy! I too love them fresh out of the oven. I find them so comforting! Thank you so much for your kind words about my recipes. I really do try to make easy, delicious recipes with ingredients we all have in our homes. Your feedback means the world to me. Thank you!
Ok I am rating this again! I used refined coconut oil to avoid the coconut taste and they are amazing. I also ate them as a breakfast sandwich with applegate turkey sausage and it was sooo good! These are so easy and quick to make.
I am so glad you enjoyed my biscuits Antoinette. Using refined coconut oil to mask the coconut taste is brilliant. I tend to like the coconut flavor, but that is an excellent tip. So glad they were quick and easy to make. I am so happy you enjoyed your breakfast sandwich.
I think I did something wrong 😑 my biscuits came out too thin and a little harder than the video. But the flavor is good!
Shoot! I am so bummed your biscuits didn’t turn out well Maria. Was your ghee melted? Also, sometimes stale baking powder can cause that issue. I hope they turn out better for you next time.
I made these this morning because I was CRAVING carbs and OH MY GOSH, they’re DELICIOUS! Definitely did the trick and even my nonketo husband liked them! (He only gets one though! The rest are MINE) Thank you so much for this recipe!
They really do satisfy that carb craving we all get Ashley. I love that your hubby one got one! LOL!
Oh my heavens, these are FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for sharing these. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my husband and I both bit in to one with dinner tonight and our reactions were “wow!” It tastes almost like a biscuit / cracker, and it’s so good! I made them with butter instead of ghee but will be curious to try with ghee or coconut oil as well. Looking forward to making some breakfast sandwiches with these!
Yeah! I am so glad you and your husband liked my biscuits Laura! Oh my, wait till you try them as a breakfast sandwich. They are out of this world!
These were SO GOOD! My husband could not believe they were keto and dairy free. Plus just 5 ingredients?! I can’t wait to make these with chili and soups all winter!
So glad you and your husband liked the biscuits Mary!
No surprise here, these are amazing!! They’re soft with a delicate crumb inside and a slight crisp outside! Will be making these on repeat!
I love your description Jenn. I am so glad they turned out with a delicate crumb inside and slight crisp outside. Sounds perfect!
I cannot get over how good these are. I followed the recipe, except I used the coconut oil because I can’t have any dairy whatsoever. I thought they would come out not tasting as good as they might with the Ghee however I was wrong they were absolutely delicious!
I am so glad you like my biscuits Antoinette! It’s good to know they are delicious with coconut oil too!
I make these at least every other week. But tonight I switched it up and made Mini keto biscuits. So good!
I am so glad you like my biscuits Porschea! Even better that you make them every other week. That is fantastic. I love the idea of mini keto biscuits. That sounds delicious!
Just made these and OMG!! First, I am not a baker at all, prefer to cook. Super simple to prepare!!! I did use butter instead of ghee. They turned out so good. I also added some cheddar cheese to half of them and if you are not dairy free… holy moly. Yum! Such an easy, awesome recipe, Natalie! Thanks!!
I am so happy you liked my biscuits Lynn! I love to hear that they were easy to make. I like your addition of cheddar cheese. That is a fantastic idea!
