Keto Almond Flour Biscuits
There is something amazing about a warm biscuit dripping with butter. My almond flour biscuits are great as a side dish, with soup, salad, or just as a snack. And, these keto biscuits mix up in just five minutes so they are easy enough for any day of the week. This biscuit recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I love bread. And rolls. And biscuits. And pretty much anything that is normally full of carbs! When I began my weight loss journey I knew that I’d be more successful if I had a substitute for these things instead of just giving them up forever. One of the first recipes I began working on was almond flour biscuits.
One of my closest friends, Marisa, and her husband got to go on a trip to Monte Carlo, Monaco a year or so ago and before I left I joked that she needed to bring me back a souvenir. She actually did and it was a little cloth sack of Herbes de Provence. It has a unique flavor compared to other herb blends. I really enjoy using it on chicken and on roast vegetables but I knew it would be delicious in a savory bread recipe.
I used Herbes de Provence in this Almond Flour Biscuits recipe but you can use any blend of dried herbs. Here is a little information on herbed de Provence from Wikipedia:
Herbes de Provence (French pronunciation: [ɛʁb.də.pʁɔ.vɑ̃s]) is a mixture of dried herbs considered typical of the Provence region of southeast France. Formerly simply a descriptive term, commercial blends started to be sold under this name in the 1970s. These blends often contain savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Lavender leaves are also included in products in the North American market. The herb mixture is typically used with grilled foods and stews.
Ingredients need for these Almond Flour Biscuits:
1.5 cups almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 tsp herbes de Provence
1 tsp garlic powder
Herb Topping:
1/2 tsp herbes de Provence
olive oil
I use this biscuit batter as a topping for my Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie! If you love these make sure to give that a try as well as my Keto Buttermilk Biscuits.

Can I freeze these?
Yes
One quick question – is the butter melted, room temp, or cold and cut in? Thanks, can’t wait to try these for Christmas!
Room temp. Enjoy!
Would cheddar cheese work instead?
Yup!
These are amazing. My husband said he would never know that they aren’t real flour biscuits… SO delicious!
How many carbs per biscuit?
There is a nutrition table below the recipe. 3 net carbs per biscuit.
These are dangerously delicious!!
Low carb but I can still have my bread…..love. this.
How would cream cheese be in this? I would think it may stiffen the dough, bit otherwise it should be OK. Also, my husband HATES coconut four, even the tiniest bit will ruin a recipe for him. I usually just sub the same amount of almond flour, do you have a better suggestion? Thanks!
Cream cheese in addition to the other ingredients or as a substitution for the sour cream or mozzarella? You should be able to use all almond flour. If the dough seems too wet using 1:1 just add a little more.
Sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant cream cheese instead of sour cream. I did have some sour cream and they were awesome!! Thanks!
I made these tonight to go with soup. They are amazing. Thank you for sharing all your delicious recipes and your joy of cooking.
I just mixed up the Almond Flour Biscuits. It’s nothing like a “dough”; very dry and crumbly. Since I can’t “Put 12 blobs of dough on a baking sheet” I’m going to try to save it and add 1 more egg, spread it over a cookie sheet and press it together enough to cut it into squares. I reviewed the recipe 5X and was really looking forward to those scrumptious looking biscuits in the photo. HELP!
Hi Peggy, are you positive you only used one tablespoon of coconut flour? If that one measurement is off it can throw off the whole recipe. These have about .5 cup wet ingredients to 1.5 cups dry ingredients. That should be plenty to moisten the flours.
I know I am going to love these!
I would NEVER have thought keto biscuits would be possible! This recipe is great!
I am desperately looking for bread and biscuits (really any baking recipes) in low carb that doesn’t have any eggs in it. So far in reading about almond flour and coconut flour using eggs is a must. I used apple sauce or ground flax seed (water) as a egg substitute in the past for my baking and cooking but that is before I wanted to go low carb. Basically I need any kind of recipes that I can still do low carb but egg free. Is there any out there?? I have looked up vegan recipes but they are not low carb and/or use white flour. I need something in the middle lower carb and no egg and doesn’t use expensive extra ingredients.
Hi Diana,
I don’t have much experience with egg free baking. Maybe this recipe would work for you: https://lowcarbyum.com/fat-head-pizza-dough-egg-free/
This is the best low-carb biscuit recipe ever! Trust me, I’ve made a lot. I used onion, chive and garlic for spices and it’s just amazing. Great texture and flavor! So yummy!!
So excited to have had this recipe, will use it many more times. So glad I could have this with my left over turkey broccoli cheddar Soup. Yum!!
I’m glad you liked them! Turkey Broccoli Cheddar Soup sounds great!
