    What type of cheese is best for biscuits?

    Honestly, for these keto cheese biscuits, any variety of cheese that you enjoy the taste of can be used. If you are craving Cheddar Bay biscuits from Red Lobster, use sharp cheddar cheese.

    If you prefer a softer cheese, American and Provolone both melt easily and go great with garlic. For something fancier, try a deep, rich bleu cheese such as Stilton. Even Fontina or Gouda would be delicious in this cheesy keto biscuits recipe. 

    Keep in mind, however, that garlic does not pair very well with sweet cheeses like mascarpone and Havarti.

    Are keto biscuits with coconut flour hard to make?

    Generally speaking, coconut flour can sometimes be challenging to work with, especially in baked goods.

    Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture. So when you use it in things like bread and low carb cheddar biscuits, you need to use more liquid in the batter. Extra eggs may also be needed.

    However, these coconut flour biscuits are incredibly easy to make because they’re keto drop biscuits.

    When you make these, the dough isn’t rolled or cut before baking. You simply drop the batter from a spoon right onto a baking sheet.

    How many carbs in a biscuit?

    It is probably not a secret to anyone that traditional biscuits made with all purpose flour have a lot of carbs. Of course, the total depends a lot on how big the biscuits are and if there is additional sugar in the dough.

    An average 2 ½ inch diameter biscuit, made from scratch, has 27 grams of carbs. To make matters scarier, there is just 1 gram of fiber in that 60g weight biscuit. So, a traditional cheddar biscuit has a whopping 26 net carbs!

    Can you guess how many net carbs are in these low carb biscuits? Just 1.4 net carbs per cheesy, garlicky, piece!!

    Do cheddar biscuits need to be refrigerated?

    If you plan to eat them within 3 days, you can safely leave keto biscuits at room temperature. Just be sure to keep them in an airtight container or zip top plastic bag so they stay fresh.

    More on the Recipe

    This recipe for low carb biscuits was inspired by one in the book Cooking with Coconut Flour by Bruce Fife

    This is my adaptation of Bruce’s recipe. To counteract the spongy texture that can happen when you bake with coconut flour, I add a little xanthan gum. Also, rather than using fresh garlic cloves, my recipe calls for garlic powder.

    These cheddar biscuits really are the perfect keto comfort food! But if you want a more traditional biscuit without cheese, give my almond flour biscuits a try.

    Serving Suggestions

    You may be wondering what to serve them with. Here’s a few suggestions:

    • Instant Pot Meatloaf
    • Keto Cream of Chicken Soup
    • Low Carb Beef Stew
    • Keto Roast Beef
    • Tomato Mozzarella Baked Chicken

    They are also a perfect addition to eggs and bacon for breakfast. You can even use the batter to make a keto pot pie.

      I usually love your recipes, and have made many of them, but could not get this one to work. I followed the recipe exactly but it came out watery and the texture was totally off. The "biscuits" spread and came out like mini omelettes. Taste was OK was too eggy.

      Excellent! I didn't have baking powder so used soda and Old Bay seasoning instead of garlic/onion. Texture excellent.

        these are delicious and so quick and easy to make. What I don't eat right away I put in the fridge and then toast them in the air fryer at 390 for about 3 minutes; gives a nice crispy top. really good.

      will the biscuits still form ok without the cheese? I'm not on keto, just looking for a nice and easy gluten-free biscuit recipe- thanks!

        It should be fine to leave out the cheese. It's added more for flavor versus form.

      Yum, used this recipe as a base but I used 1/4 cup up grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of sour cream instead of cheddar. They came out perfectly. I also sprinkled some rosemary powder on top for a nice little kick.

      Yikes! I’ve tried this recipe twice and both times ended up with a cookie sheet of flatbread… all ran together.

        It sounds like you had too much liquid or not enough coconut flour. Since coconut flour can vary in absorbency you may need to make slight adjustments to either liquid or flour depending on the consistency of the batter.

        I had the same problem! The consistency was totally off. To liquids and eggy. The biscuits spread to look like flat cookies. Taste was just OK, b ut more like an individual egg omelet. Definitely not a biscuit. I usually love her recipes but this one just didn't come together

      I make a hearty african stew and these biscuits make it such a "comfort" meal. My girls slather them in butter but I personally just like them dipped into the stew. So delicious!
