My Personal Experience

When I first tried making keto biscuits, I was skeptical. Could they really match the texture and flavor of traditional biscuits? The answer is a resounding yes! These keto drop biscuits quickly became a household favorite. They’re so versatile—I’ve used them for breakfast sandwiches, as a side for keto chili, and even topped them with a bit of sugar-free jam for a sweet treat. The best part? They’re incredibly forgiving and easy to make, so even on busy mornings, I can whip up a batch in no time. Trust me, once you try these, you won’t even miss the carb-heavy originals!

Required Equipment

1. Mixing Bowl: A good-sized bowl for combining all the ingredients. I love using a sturdy, deep bowl that gives me plenty of room to mix without making a mess.
2. Whisk or Fork: Perfect for whisking together dry ingredients and ensuring there are no lumps. This step makes a big difference in the final texture.
3. Silicone Spatula: An essential tool for folding wet and dry ingredients together without overmixing. It’s also great for scraping down the sides of the bowl.
4. Baking Sheet: A non-stick baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper is crucial to keep the biscuits from sticking and ensure even baking.
5. Ice Cream Scoop or Spoon: I use a scoop to ensure evenly sized biscuits. It makes the process so much quicker and less messy!
6. Oven: Reliable temperature control is essential for getting that perfect golden-brown finish.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Almond Flour (2 cups): The main ingredient for these biscuits, providing a nutty flavor and low-carb base. You can substitute with a mix of almond and coconut flour (1:4 ratio) for a slightly different texture.
• Baking Powder (1 tablespoon): Helps the biscuits rise and achieve their fluffy texture. Ensure it’s gluten-free and aluminum-free for the best results.
• Eggs (2 large): These bind the ingredients together and add structure. If you’re egg-sensitive, you could try a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water per egg).
• Unsalted Butter (4 tablespoons, melted): Adds richness and moisture. Substitute with ghee or coconut oil if you prefer dairy-free.
• Heavy Cream (2 tablespoons): Enhances the fluffiness of the biscuits. For a dairy-free option, use unsweetened almond or coconut milk.
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Balances the flavors. Adjust based on your preference.

How to Make Keto Drop Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and heavy cream until smooth and well-blended.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the mixture until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
5. Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for This Recipe

• Don’t overmix the dough—this will ensure the biscuits stay light and airy.
• For a crispier bottom, bake the biscuits on a preheated baking stone.
• Add a pinch of xanthan gum if you want a sturdier biscuit for sandwiches.

Optional Additions

• Cheese: Add shredded cheddar or Parmesan for a savory twist.
• Herbs: Mix in chopped rosemary, thyme, or parsley for added flavor.
• Sweet Option: Include a bit of keto-friendly sweetener and cinnamon for a breakfast treat.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with scrambled eggs and bacon for a classic breakfast.
• Serve alongside keto soup or stew for a hearty meal.
• Slice in half and use as a base for keto sliders or sandwiches.

Storage Recommendation

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes or in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
