Light and fluffy Keto drop biscuits that can be eaten with Sausage Gravy, used as an egg and cheese sandwich or eaten on their own!
One of the things most people miss when following Keto or a low carb diet is bread. Luckily, there are some amazing products out there that can take traditional biscuits and transform them into really delicious low carb substitutions.
These almond flour biscuits have such amazing texture and can be savory or with a few additions, they can even take on a sweeter flavor. They're like a blank canvas for all your favorite flavors and seasonings.
I recently made some improvements to the recipe to give them a more traditional biscuit texture. So what changed? Instead of using pre-shredded cheese, I finely shredded mine from a block using a microplane, which allowed the cheese to completely melt into the batter.
I also added oat fiber, which is optional, but HIGHLY recommended. Oat fiber is the biggest key to the improving the texture. If you're concerned about having to buy it for just one recipe, check out the plethora of oat fiber recipes I have. I promise you will love the stuff and will not be disappointed!
Lastly, I swapped out the sweetener and changed up the cooking times and temperatures which also helps improve the texture.

🔪 How to Make Almond Flour Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, (optional) oat fiber, baking soda and salt to a bowl and mix using a hand whisk or fork.
In another bowl, add the eggs, sweetener, sour cream and melted butter and mix until combined.
Add the cheese into the wet ingredients and continue mixing.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix.
Scoop the biscuit mix using an ice cream scoop into silicone muffin pan liners (or spray a non-stick muffin pan with non-stick spray) and bake for 10 minutes.
Tip: Using an ice cream scoop helps to ensure the biscuits are the same size and cook evenly. By cooking them in muffin cups, they rise better and do not spread out as much.
Lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Tip: This last step helps to slightly dry the biscuits out a bit, making them closer to a traditional biscuit, rather than a muffin.
Allow to cool slightly before cutting into and serving.

Variations for This Gluten Free Biscuit Recipe
This Keto Drop Biscuit recipe is super versatile. There are so many ways to mix up the flavors and uses! Here are some of the most popular ideas:
- Serve with Raspberry Sauce, Blueberry Sauce or Strawberry Sauce drizzled over the top.
- Add an egg, a slice of cheese and Keto friendly ham, bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast or for a breakfast on the go!
- If you love jam, this Strawberry Chia Seed Jam is so easy to make and it's good for you too!
- Looking for a Keto bread recipe that will go well with dinner? Make these biscuits savory by adding your favorite herbs to the batter with a little sprinkle of parmesan cheese added to the top before baking.
- Another great way to enjoy these guilt free biscuits is to give them a little bit of a sweet twist. Slice in half the baked and cooled biscuits. Smear with a little softened butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon and Swerve Granular mixture then place under the broiler in your oven just until the butter melts and the sugar begins to brown.
Best Way to Store Low Carb Biscuits
This almond flour biscuit recipe, stores really well right on the counter top for a couple of days. You can use a muffin keeper like this one to ensure their optimal freshness. If you don't have a muffin keeper, just place them in the fridge for up to a few days.
Can You Freeze Keto Biscuits?
They freeze very well. Wrap leftover biscuits individually in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to month or two. When you're ready to serve them, just set them on the counter for about 30 minutes to thaw.
What are the Carbs in a Keto Biscuit?
Gluten free flours have been a huge benefit for Keto bakers. Traditional biscuits have somewhere around 25-30 grams of carbs each! If you're following Keto, that's more than a whole days worth of carbs.
But, by using almond flour, these little clouds of goodness, only have 2 net carbs each. How fantastic is that?! With the substitution of almond flour, you can enjoy low carb biscuits without having to abandon your Keto goals!
If you love gravy with your biscuits, you're going to love this Homemade Sausage Keto Gravy recipe. It is so quick and easy to make it and it truly takes low carb biscuits to the next level.

We subbed lupin flour for almond (just because I ran low on almond). They came out great! We made biscuits and we also used this recipe to top a Low carb chicken pot pie. This will be our go-to recipe now.
Thank you for posting the recipe!
Keto Cooking Christian
You are so welcome. So glad you enjoyed the recipe! It’s great to know it worked well with lupin flour too and I love the idea of using it for a low carb chicken pot pie. Thanks for sharing how you used them.
Donna
I just want to thank you so much for putting these recipes up to share for free. What a blessing! My health has deteriorated to the point that if I don't make changes now, I may really regret it later.
I'm really looking forward to trying out your recipes.
Keto Cooking Christian
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy you found the recipes helpful, and I hope you enjoy them. Wishing you the best with your health journey.
Becca
I made these drop biscuits to use in the chicken pot pie casserole. NOW, I'm looking forward to trying these biscuits all on their own! I'm really amazed at the appearance, taste and texture of the biscuits. Now, to admit all: I don't have any almond flour in the house so I substituted tiger nut flour. Also, I'm not precise on my measurements. still, recipe turned out great. Highly recommend!
Keto Cooking Christian
That's awesome! So happy your substitution worked and the biscuits turned out so good for you.
Kathie Dupuy
The best keto biscuit I have made. My husband and I both enjoyed
Keto Cooking Christian
That's so great to hear. Keto biscuits can be tricky and I worked with this recipe until I got it just right. I am so happy you enjoyed them.
P.Musser
These biscuits are amazing! I was on a low-carb diet and found the chicken pot pie recipe and fell in love with this drop biscuit recipe. It's my go to recipe now for biscuits! I'm gluten free too so it's great this recipe checks so many boxes: healthy, delicious and easy!!!
Keto Cooking Christian
I'm so glad you love the recipe! It’s wonderful to hear it works so well for your low-carb and gluten-free needs. Enjoy!
Melanie
I'm new to your site and am enjoying scrolling thru. Is the teaspoon of monkfruit necessary for the structure of the biscuit? Does it make it taste sweet? Could I leave it out? Just prefer a savory flavor for the biscuits. Thanks so much.
Keto Cooking Christian
You can leave it out if you prefer. It should not impact the texture or structure of the biscuit, though it does not add much sweetness either.
Jenn
I loved this recipe, It tastes and feels just like the non-keto version, and I can eat it without worry! I cant wait to take one out of the freezer for snack this afternoon!
Keto Cooking Christian
I love hearing this! Thank you so much.
Nicky O
These were fantastic and tasted just like the flour version. My family enjoyed them with a bit of butter and drizzle of hot honey
Keto Cooking Christian
I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Lindsey
These biscuits were great! I actually have been making them for years and I adore the changes! So fluffy!
Keto Cooking Christian
That makes my day. Thank you!
Madison
These biscuits were great with our meal on 4th of July! My parents loved being able to enjoy a biscuit without the carbs. We skipped the oat fiber and it still turned out great!
Keto Cooking Christian
That is so great to hear. I am thrilled your parents loved them.
Gina
Can't believe how great these turned out and the texture was spot on. Buttery, flaky and very much like the real thing. Great alternative!
Keto Cooking Christian
Yay! I love knowing that others love them as much as I do.
Kim
Can this dough be made ahead and refrigerated to bake a few days later?
Keto Cooking Christian
This is a super simple, 5-minute prep time biscuit dough that is really best when it's freshly made. The almond flour begins to absorb the moisture the longer it sits. It would become too dry after a few hours even.
Jenn
These are so good! They act very much like biscuits made out of actual flour! They're buttery and bread-like and toast up well. Me and my family have already enjoyed them with butter and low sugar jelly. Thank you for sharing this awesome biscuit and all your other recipes!
Keto Cooking Christian
You're so welcome! I am happy you enjoyed them.
Judy
Do you have to add the cheese !
Keto Cooking Christian
You can omit it if you prefer.
Marsha
Can you substitute swerve confectionery?
Keto Cooking Christian
Hi! I am not sure what you mean because the recipe calls for Swerve confectioners. If you want to use another sugar substitute, you certainly can. Monk fruit would be a close substitute.
Laura
Just made these and wow they are amazing! So flaky, buttery and cheesy! I have made a few of your recipes now and am so happy I found your site. I can't wait to try everything!!! You definitely make Keto delicious!

Cheryl
These are so amazing! The way the outside browns up feels And tastes almost flaky to me. I had them right out of the oven! Can’t wait to see how they store and some tomorrow. Total keeper whether you are keto or not! Love your Scriptures in your post! ✝️
