Keto Cheddar Biscuits (Easy, Cheesy, and Low-Carb!)
There’s just something magical about a warm, cheesy biscuit fresh from the oven that makes any meal feel extra special. These Keto Cheddar Biscuits are soft, savory, and low in carbs—perfect for soaking up a hearty soup, pairing with your favorite breakfast, or enjoying as a snack all on their own.
One of our favorite ways to serve them? Alongside a big bowl of my Easy Keto Chili. The flavors are a match made in low-carb comfort food heaven!
If you’re following a keto or low-carb lifestyle, you know traditional biscuits are loaded with carbs. Our family loves biscuits, so finding a low-carb alternative that still gives us that comforting, cheesy bite was a game-changer. These biscuits aren’t exactly like the classic buttermilk biscuits you might be used to—but honestly, they’re so good you won’t even miss the original!
They’re a hit with everyone, even friends and family who aren’t eating low-carb. I love taking a batch of these biscuits to potlucks or gatherings with friends—they always disappear fast and people always ask for the recipe!

Equipment You’ll Need
Before you get started, here’s a quick list of the basic kitchen tools you’ll need:
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon or silicone spatula
- Small dish to melt butter
- Measuring cups and spoons (1 cup, 1 tbsp, ½ tsp, and ¼ tsp)
- Parchment paper – I love using pre-cut parchment sheets for convenience
- Baking sheet pan
Ingredients for Keto Cheddar Biscuits
One of the best things about these biscuits (besides how delicious they are) is that they require just a handful of simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Almond flour – The base for our low-carb biscuits
- Baking powder – Helps the biscuits rise and get nice and fluffy
- Salt – Enhances all the flavors
- Butter – Adds richness and moisture
- Sour cream – Helps keep the biscuits tender
- Eggs – Binds everything together
- Shredded cheddar cheese – For that irresistible cheesy flavor
- Ranch dressing mix (optional) – For a little extra seasoning (and a Cheddar Bay Biscuit vibe!)

How to Make Keto Cheddar Biscuits
These low-carb cheddar biscuits come together in just a few simple steps. Here’s how to make them:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Melt your butter. Set half aside for brushing over the biscuits later.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together so the baking powder gets evenly distributed.
- Add in half of the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything together until a thick dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky—that’s okay!
- Using a spoon or a large cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each biscuit—they don’t spread much, but they do puff up a bit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–14 minutes, or until the tops are light golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
🔥 Pro Tip: Check them around the 10-minute mark to avoid overbaking. Every oven is a little different! - Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter. For an extra burst of flavor, mix the ranch dressing mix into the butter before brushing it on. It gives them that irresistible, savory, garlicky kick—very similar to Red Lobster’s famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits!
Let the biscuits cool slightly…then dig in and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Keto Biscuits
- Use finely ground almond flour, not almond meal. Almond meal is coarser and can make the biscuits grainy.
- Don’t overmix the dough. Stir just until everything is combined to keep the biscuits tender.
Add extra flavor by mixing in chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or a little garlic powder.
