Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe

Introduction

These Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a low-carb twist on the classic savory favorite. They’re rich, cheesy, and infused with garlic and herbs, perfect for pairing with soups or enjoying on their own.

Ingredients

• 2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Sea salt
• 1 large Egg (whisked)
• 1/3 cup Heavy cream
• 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/4 tsp Garlic powder (for topping)
• 1/8 tsp Sea salt (to taste, for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt. Stir well.
3. Step 3: Add the whisked egg, heavy cream, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is uniform. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Step 4: Use a scant large cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Shape each into rounded biscuits by flattening slightly with your fingers, keeping a rustic look.
5. Step 5: Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until the biscuits are semi-firm and golden.
6. Step 6: Let the biscuits cool for 10 minutes on the tray without moving them, allowing them to firm up. Meanwhile, mix together the melted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt for the topping. Brush this mixture generously over the warm biscuits.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add finely chopped green onions to the dough before baking.
• Use sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder taste or a milder cheese if preferred.
• Substitute fresh herbs like thyme or chives in the topping for a different herbal note.
• Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and soft.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven to restore warmth and softness. For longer storage, freeze the biscuits wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw before reheating.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 2 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Sea salt

Wet Ingredients

• 1 large Egg (whisked)
• 1/3 cup Heavy cream
• 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Topping

• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp Sea salt (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients well to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the whisked egg, heavy cream, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and then gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to incorporate without overmixing.
4. Shape Biscuits: Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the dough onto the lined baking sheet spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow spreading. Gently shape each scoop into a rounded biscuit by slightly flattening with your fingers, taking care not to overwork the dough for a rustic look.
5. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for approximately 12-16 minutes, or until they become semi-firm and develop a golden crust.
6. Cool and Add Topping: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes without moving them to allow them to firm up. Meanwhile, mix together the melted butter topping ingredients—unsalted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt. Brush this fragrant butter mixture generously over the warm biscuits before serving.

Notes

• Use blanched almond flour for a finer texture and better consistency in the biscuits.
• Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
• Spacing biscuits apart is important as they will spread during baking.
• The topping adds flavor and moisture, apply while biscuits are warm for best absorption.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat lightly before serving.
