Keto biscuits and gravy.
While this keto biscuit recipe is a good staple in a low carb diet I mainly wanted to make this for sausage gravy I was making for my son. I have that recipe coming up in 2 days so keep a look out for that. It’s really good!
Other ways to use keto biscuits are to make
- breakfast sandwiches with eggs and sausage or bacon
- top with sugar free jam and butter
- use with a bbq pulled pork or chicken to make a sandwich
- top a keto stew to make it like a shepherds pie
- top chicken pot pie soup with them
Recipe ingredients I used.
The simple ingredients I used were eggs, cream cheese spread, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coconut flour and unsalted butter.
Use blanched almond flour instead of almond meal if you can. All in all that is much better for keto friendly baking.
How to make keto biscuits.
This recipe made 8 smaller keto biscuits. You can make them a bit larger if you want them for more of a meal like with keto sausage gravy.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Get out a medium bowl and add the eggs and cream cheese spread. Whisk or beat with a hand held mixer to combine.
Step 3: Get out a food processor and add the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and coconut flour. Pulse a few times to mix well. Then cut the chilled butter into small pieces and add the food processor.
Pulse a few times until the butter is chopped into small pieces the size of a pea. It should have a crumbly texture when done like the picture below.
Step 4: Pour the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix with a spoon until you have a thick batter or biscuit dough.
Step 5: Get out the prepared baking sheet and divide the mixture into 6-8 portions. Use your hand to form the portions into rounded biscuit shapes and place them on the baking sheet.
Step 6: Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown on the bottom. You want the to be soft on the top so that they stay moist. So the bottoms are nicely browned take them out and let them cool completely before serving.
You can top the warm biscuits with melted butter or anything you want. Store leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock bags.
I froze a few for a quick keto breakfast or snack. Just pop the frozen biscuit in the microwave and reheat for about 30 seconds until heated through.

Recipe Tips and Notes
- This recipe makes 6 large or 8 small low carb biscuits.
- It’s important not to over bake them. Once they are browning on the edges at the bottom they are done. Let them cool completely before taking them off the baking sheet.
- I just store my biscuits in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator but that does take away the crispiness of them. You can just toast them in a pan or in the toaster.
- These freeze well. Just pop in the microwave for 30 seconds and then toast if you want them crispier.
- Mix in things like cheddar cheese, jalapenos, cooked sausage or bacon, chives, fresh herbs, old bay seasoning, blueberries, etc to change up the flavor.
- Eat them as is with butter, sugar free jam or some other low carb spread. Or use them to top casseroles like chicken pot pie or stews. Also make good buns for breakfast sandwiches.
Well I am glad I finally made this low carb keto biscuit recipe. They are so easy to make that I want to have a stash in my freezer for a quick breakfast or even lunch. They make a great keto bun for sandwiches. I hope you enjoy them too! Find more keto recipes for breakfast here.

Dee
What purpose doe sthe coconut flour serve in this recipe? Just wondering if the almond flour would be enough.
Denise
Hi Dee, the combination helps keep the biscuits together whereas if you just used almond flour it might be too dense. I have never tried it with just almond flour but if you substitute almond flour for the coconut flour note that it’s not a 1:1 substitute. It’s usually 1/4 cup of coconut flour = 1 cup almond flour but then there are liquid considerations too. Here is an article if you are interested. https://coconums.com/substitute-almond-flour-for-coconutflour/ Good luck!
Sharon
Is there two different almond flour amounts? One for 1 1/2 and one for 1/3 cups.
Denise
Hi Sharon yes you just add them together. It’s an odd amount of flour and was just easier to write it that way. So other words it’s 1 cup plus 14 tablespoons. Hope that helps a bit.
