Keto Biscuits
Cream cheese is the secret to keeping these keto biscuits incredibly soft and moist. Coconut and almond flours create a low-carb alternative that you’ll swear is just as good as traditional biscuits!
Servings: 6 Biscuits
Calories: 330kcal
Ingredients
- 3 medium eggs cold
- 1/4 cup cream cheese spread
- 1 5/6 cup almond flour 1/2 + 1/3
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Set it aside.
- Add the eggs and cream cheese into a large bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Next, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds, and then add chilled cubed butter and process until butter turns into pea-sized pieces.
- Then, combine flour with the egg mixture, resulting in a stiff batter. Divide the dough into six portions and use your hands to form biscuits, about one inch thick and 2.5-3 inches wide. You could also make 8 smaller biscuits with this amount of dough.
- Bake the biscuits for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brownish in the bottom. These biscuits will remain soft on top and around the edges when freshly baked, but that’s what you’ll be looking for, so when the biscuits get to room temperature, they stay soft and moist in the center.
- Let them cool completely before transferring them out of the tray; otherwise, they’ll be fragile and could break apart.
Notes
Taste-wise, these almond flour biscuits are buttery and slightly salty. Then, texture-wise, they’re soft and moist inside and crispy on the outside. Finally, the almond flour provides a nutty flavor that makes them irresistible.
Tips
- It is key for these biscuits not to overbake them, so set a timer and control the temperature of the oven to achieve soft and slightly crispy biscuits.
- How to store these biscuits: they get moist in a sealed bag. So, wrap them with a clean tea towel to keep them fresh for up to three days over the counter. Otherwise, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to seven days and reheat them in a toaster to have them crispy again.
- The best way to consume them is freshly made or toasted with butter or sliced avocado. Yum!
