How to Prepare the Batter
Here’s how to make these biscuits from start to finish:
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
- Add melted butter: Stir in the melted butter and mix until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and Old Bay seasoning if using.
- Fold together: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking the Biscuits
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper:
- Scoop batter: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Cool slightly: Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Variations and Customizations
One of the great things about keto cheddar biscuits is their versatility!
- Cheese selections: Try smoked cheddar, gruyere, or a sharp white cheddar for different flavor profiles.
- Herb additions: Mix in fresh chives, dried dill, or Italian seasoning for extra aromatic depth.
- Spicy kick: Add cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or a touch of sriracha to the wet mixture for heat.
- Bacon flavor: Fold in cooked, crumbled bacon pieces for a smoky, savory twist.

Recipe FAQ’s
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour is much denser and absorbs more liquid, so it’s not a direct one-to-one swap, but you can try using 1/3 cup coconut flour with additional moisture (another egg or 2 tablespoons sour cream) and adjust from there.
How should I store leftover biscuits?
Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days; reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5-8 minutes to restore crispness.
Can I freeze the biscuits?
Yes, freeze baked biscuits in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, then thaw at room temperature or reheat directly from frozen in a 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes.
