Ingredients in Keto Cheesy Biscuits
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe, to find the printable recipe and instructions, just keep scrolling. This truly is the BEST keto cheesy biscuit recipe! Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
- Cream cheese
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Eggs
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Heavy cream
- Melted butter
- Fresh basil
- Spices: Garlic powder, dried parsley
How to Make Low Carb Cheese Biscuits
This recipe starts with a cream cheese, shredded cheese and egg base. This provides tons of fat and moisture to create the perfect biscuits. Next we add almond flour, baking powder, salt, butter and cream. This is an almond flour only recipe so if you aren’t a coconut flour fan, you are in luck.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheeses and eggs.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream and melted butter. Fold in the freshly chopped basil
- Chill the dough 10-15 minutes.
- Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, spoon the biscuits out onto a greased or lined baking sheet.
- Lightly press the dough down.
- Bake until golden, 12-15 minutes
- Meanwhile combine the topping: melted butter, garlic powder and parsley. Brush onto biscuits.
How to Store Keto Biscuits
After baking, store these keto cheddar biscuits in the fridge. Since the recipe does make 22 I like to freeze about half of my batch for quick sandwiches or a side dish. They freeze beautifully, so just store in an air tight freezer bag and reheat in 20-second increments until warm.
Tips for Making Keto Biscuits
- You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of cream if you want, but the fat content decreases.
- If you want regular cheesy biscuits just leave out the basil and the garlic powder in the butter topping. These biscuits are great for breakfast or sliders.
- Do not skip chilling the dough! This is necessary to achieve the right consistency.

It sounds like you and your husband have embraced the gluten-free lifestyle so well, Annie! And I agree, everyone needs a little indulgence. And wow…these biscuits look amazing! Especially with the ricotta and goat cheese. Beautiful pictures, too! Definitely pinning this one to try out!
Aren’t they fun!? I never usually add so much cheese do things, but hey, ya got to live a little, right?! 😉
Oh wow, these look fantastic!! A must try for sure! If you’d like to play along, Kelly and I nominated you for a Liebster Award. It’s something bloggers pass on to one another, and we are really excited we’ve found your blog! We’re looking forward following along and learning more about you 🙂 Here is some more info if you’re interested: http://longdistancebaking.com/liebster-award-new-about-us/
Aw Stephanie thank you so much for thinking of me!! 🙂
I have no words either :).
I really like reading your perspective on eating gluten-free. I feel like it has almost become something people say to be cool or because so many other people are doing it. I think it can be a challenge to deal with celiac’s or gluten sensitivity and it’s not something that should be glamorized. That being said, recipes like this one are proof that people who struggle don’t have to feel deprived. These biscuits looks so scrumptious!!
Thank you Kathi! I totally agree with everything you said! 🙂
While nobody in my family has celiac, I know that less gluten in our diets is a good thing. I just try to balance it out so that we’re all eating as healthfully as possible. I still bake breads, etc., but try to limit the amount we eat. I’m really into the gluten-free baking thing from a baker’s standpoint, too, and have experimented quite a bit. I really love the results more often than naught, and I’m glad that I have options! These biscuits look delicious, Annie, and I love the cheese and basil you’ve added. Delicious! 🙂
I totally agree, I really don’t feel like we are missing out on a ton anymore. I think there is a gluten free alternative for just about anything we want now. It just takes a bit more time 🙂
Yum! These look and sound delicious. I have never made biscuits before, but I am going to have to give them a try.
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am new to yours, but I have bookmarked it, so I will be back daily 🙂
Thank you Dannii! You would looove these biscuits! They are so light and fluffy! 🙂
These look fantastic!! I’m always looking for GF recipes and fixing them for my cousin. Can’t wait to try these.
Thank you Shannon!! These are really something special, they are easy to make but you would never guess they are gluten free! 😉
I have a few members in my family that are are sensitive to gluten so I am always looking and experimenting with new recipes. I hear ya though, sometimes we all need to have that indulgent treat 🙂
And wow, these are some seriously gorgeous biscuits! I am a sucker for cheesy and pillowy biscuits and would not be able to resist a few of these.
Oh I am too!! I love anything buttery, fluffy, and cheesy!! 🙂
Did you see the episode of Jimmy Kimmel where they found people on the street who are on the gluten free fad bandwagon, not actual celiacs, and asked them what is gluten? Hilarious, none if them knew they just kept saying um…flour? Well these biscuits look to die for, I would never guess they’re gluten free!
I had to google it just to see what you were talking about. Omg, that is hilarious, and kind of terrible at the same time!! 🙂
I kind of despise the whole gluten free fad. I think it’s sweet that you embrace the lifestyle with your husband though, since he is intolerant to it. However, after looking at these biscuits I’m guessing he’s not missing it at all anyways. These look so soft and fluffy! Love these!
Thanks Danielle!
I’m sure your hubby appreciates all your yummy GF food you make him 🙂 My brother-in-law has Celiac’s and it is no laughing matter. It takes a lot of hard work to shop for and prepare great tasting GF food..these biscuits are calling my name! I’m making these next time we have a family get together!
It really does!! It takes a lot of work, planning, and research to make sure all the foods we get are safe. I am positive your bother in law would love these, they were a huge hit in our house!! 🙂
These biscuits are out of control with yumminess! The more cheese the better.. love that three cheeses blend! YUM!
Thank you Pamela! I totally agree! The more cheese the better!
I love this post! I don’t have celiacs but, I have a bunch of awful stomach issues that feel a little bit less awful when I avoid gluten. I get so annoyed when I see articles online about how a gluten free diet isn’t good for you or how it will do nothing for you unless you have celcias disease. And how people like to say, “nobody used to be allergic to gluten, so it must not be a real thing”. I could go on and on about this subject, haha! On a happier note, these biscuits look absolutely delicious and so soft! I love all the cheeses and basil you added, they look perfect!
So the day I wrote this one of the headlines on Yahoo was something like “The diet fad that will do nothing for you” Oh my goodness, it makes my blood boil! I know it shouldn’t but I feel like when people read articles like that think that this is something we can avoid. I have tried to get our friends to understand the seriousness of our situation, but then they read articles like that I worry they think it isn’t really all that serious. I just wish the main stream media had a less bias view of a gluten free lifestyle…I think it is either glamorized or mocked. No in between.
OMG…everything about this needs to get in my belly now! Love the recipe and gorgeous pics girl! Pinned. 🙂
Thank you Krista!! 🙂
Annie, these cheese biscuits look amazing! No one in our house has celiac, but I totally get what you are talking about. It’s a serious issue for lots of people and not something you do because it is trendy. Gluten is in so many foods and avoiding it can be a challenge. Plus, living with someone with celiacs means no one can have gluten. I’m sure your husband appreciates you and these wonderful biscuits 😀
That is exactly right! It isn’t a one person issue, it means everyone in the household has to change their diet too!
Annie, these biscuits look INCREDIBLE! I don’t have much experience baking gluten-free specifically, but these look so fluffy and tender I would have no idea! This is the perfect recipe to have on hand for guests who may eat gluten-free…or really just anytime. I have to make these soon! Love the ricotta + basil. Mmmm! 🙂
Thank you Alyssa! We really loved them!
Omg!these biscuits are seriously amazimg.. they looks so light and fluffy… and they are gluten free!? Wow.. 🙂
Aren’t they fun?! I normally don’t add so much cheese to things, but this was kind of perfect! 🙂
Annie it sounds like you are doing great living the gluten free lifestyle. This is a beautiful recipe and it looks super delicious. Its hard to believe they are gluten free, but I am certainly willing to give them a try. 🙂
Thank you Kathy! I love when people can’t tell my recipes are gluten free! 🙂
My father in law has celiac! I’m constantly searching for recipes I can make him, he sure does miss bread, pasta and cookies. These will be perfect! Sounds just delicious : )
Oh Natalie you have to make these for him! 🙂 He will love them!
