These low carb cheddar biscuits couldn't be easier to make! You'll only need 7 key ingredients.
- Almond flour - we'll use almond flour for our biscuits to help keep the carbs down.
- Butter - you'll need both cold butter diced into cubes and melted butter for this recipe.
- Xanthan gum - xanthan gum helps to provide elasticity and stickiness to our biscuit dough.
- Garlic powder - we'll use garlic powder in both the cheddar biscuit dough and the coating we make to brush on top of each biscuit.
- Baking soda - helps to give a lightness to the dough and makes the biscuits rise with a more fluffy crumb.

How To Make Keto Cheddar Biscuits
Step 1
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Step 2
Take a mixing bowl and combine the almond flour, xanthan gum, garlic powder, baking soda and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 3
Next, add the shredded cheddar cheese and whisked eggs. Mix everything together well until it reaches a dough consistency.
Step 4
Add the butter to the mixture and incorporate it into the dough using your fingers.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 12 pieces and then knead each piece into a ball. Arrange the balls on the lined baking sheet leaving enough room between each one to flatten and expand.
Step 6
Press each ball down with your hand to flatten slightly and then bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 7
While the cheddar biscuits are baking we'll make the coating. Whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder and a pinch of salt.
Step 8
Once the biscuits have finished baking, brush each biscuit with the mixture and then return to the oven for a further 5 minutes until golden.
Step 9
Serve the keto cheddar biscuits hot or allow to cool to room temperature and store them in an air tight container.
