My Personal Experience

I’m a huge fan of all things comfort food, but since switching to a keto lifestyle, I’ve had to say goodbye to some of my old favorites—until now! When I first made these Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits, I couldn’t believe how delicious they were. The combination of sharp cheddar cheese and the buttery, fluffy texture is the perfect replacement for traditional high-carb biscuits. The fact that I can enjoy a batch of these without derailing my keto plan? That’s a win in my book! They’ve quickly become a staple in my kitchen, and I’m sure they’ll be the same for you.

Required Equipment

Here’s what you’ll need to make these keto-friendly cheddar bay biscuits:

• Mixing Bowls: I love using large mixing bowls for this recipe, as they give me plenty of room to whisk together the dry ingredients and mix in the wet ingredients without making a mess.
• Baking Sheet or Parchment Paper: A baking sheet lined with parchment paper helps the biscuits bake evenly and prevents sticking. Trust me, you’ll want to keep your biscuits intact, and parchment makes that so much easier.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements make all the difference in keto baking. I always recommend having a set of quality measuring cups and spoons to ensure everything comes together just right.
• Cheese Grater: Freshly grated cheddar cheese brings an unbeatable flavor, so be sure to have a cheese grater or food processor on hand to shred the cheese to your preferred texture.
• Whisk: A simple whisk is perfect for mixing the dry ingredients, and it helps ensure everything is evenly distributed before adding the wet ingredients.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s everything you’ll need for these keto cheddar bay biscuits:

• Almond Flour: The base of these biscuits. Almond flour keeps the carb count low and the texture light and fluffy. (If you need a nut-free option, try sunflower seed flour, though the taste may vary slightly.)
• Baking Powder: This helps give the biscuits their rise and fluffy texture.
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese: I recommend sharp cheddar for a bold, flavorful bite. You can also use mild cheddar or even a mix of cheeses.
• Egg: The egg binds everything together and gives the biscuits structure.
• Butter: Adds richness and flavor, making the biscuits buttery and soft.
• Garlic Powder: This gives the biscuits that signature “cheddar bay” taste. Fresh garlic can be used as a substitute if you prefer.
• Heavy Cream: Adds moisture and a creamy texture. If you’re dairy-free, coconut cream can be a good alternative, though it might change the flavor slightly.
• Sea Salt: Enhances all the flavors. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preferences.
• Parsley: Fresh or dried parsley gives a nice pop of color and flavor.

How to Make Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and any other spices you’re using.
3. Add the wet ingredients: To the dry ingredients, add the egg, heavy cream, and melted butter. Stir everything together until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
4. Add the cheddar: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese. Be sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Shape the biscuits: Scoop out spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
6. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
7. Serve: Once baked, let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, fresh out of the oven!

Tips for This Recipe

• Don’t overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix. You want the dough to come together, but not be overworked.
• Add extra seasoning: Feel free to adjust the garlic powder or add a little onion powder for an extra flavor kick.
• Use cold butter: For an even flakier texture, use cold butter and cut it into the dry ingredients.
• Watch the baking time: Keep an eye on your biscuits as ovens vary. They’re done when the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Optional Additions

If you want to get a little creative, here are a few optional additions to customize your keto cheddar bay biscuits:

• Bacon: Crumbled crispy bacon would add a salty crunch to these biscuits.
• Chives: Fresh chives would complement the cheddar cheese and add a lovely freshness.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes if you like a little heat in your biscuits.

Serving Ideas

These keto cheddar bay biscuits are perfect for a variety of meals:

• Serve them with a bowl of soup or chili for a comforting, low-carb meal.
• Enjoy them alongside your favorite keto-friendly pasta dishes or salads.
• Have them as a savory snack with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.

Storage Recommendation

• Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
• Reheating: To reheat, simply place the biscuits in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds, but for the best texture, I recommend reheating in the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze these biscuits? Yes! These biscuits freeze well. Just let them cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and store them in an airtight container. To reheat, bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour? Coconut flour behaves differently than almond flour, so it’s not a 1:1 substitution. If you want to use coconut flour, try replacing almond flour with 1/4 of the amount of coconut flour and adjust the liquids as needed.
