Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits are super tasty, low-carb, and cheesy garlic biscuits that rival a high-carb restaurant favorite.
This copycat version of a favorite biscuit is only 2g net carbs per biscuit.
A perfectly yummy biscuit to serve with your favorite low-carb soups, chili, or any favorite dinner or breakfast.
Before I had to start eating gluten-free & low carb, I remember that I loved going to a particular seafood restaurant.
This restaurant always serves these amazing cheesy garlic biscuits that are so very addictive.

The whole family would get slightly aggressive over the basket of cheesy garlic biscuits.
My mother-in-law, who is such a character, would always stash all the biscuits from the restaurant in her large, tote-bag-sized purse.
I remember being very embarrassed at the time, but now it makes for such a funny & classic memory of my mother-in-law being her quirky self.
It is funny how the things that annoy you the most about a person, can also be what you miss after a person is gone.
Our family loves this, low-carb copy-cat version of cheesy garlic biscuits. They also fight over the biscuits at dinner, which is always a good sign.
Next time I will make a double batch of these biscuits.
Common Questions About the Keto Cheesy Garlic Biscuits Recipe
The xanthan gum is optional and can be omitted. The recipe works fine without it. I do find that it does make a slightly better texture in baking gluten-free bread & biscuits.
You can use jack cheese or pepper jack in place of cheddar if you prefer, but the biscuits will have a different flavor.
I prefer the almond flour in this recipe as coconut flour can be slightly sweet in flavor for this savory type of recipe.
If there are leftover biscuits, then they can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can be reheated in the microwave for a few seconds (around20-25 seconds), or a warm oven for a few minutes (3 minutes) before serving.

Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Blanched Fine Almond Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Xanthan Gum *optional
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- ⅓ cup Sour Cream Full Fat
- 3 tablespoon Butter melted
- ¾ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Garlic Butter Topping
- 2 tablespoon Butter melted
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ tablespoon Parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 ℉ (180℃) and grease the muffin pan cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, salt, baking powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and optional xanthan gum.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine eggs, sour cream, and 3 tablespoon melted butter, and mix until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix with a spoon until thoroughly combined. It should form a thick sticky batter.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir into the batter.
- Using a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, add about 3 tablespoon of batter into each of the 9 muffin cups (some of the 12 cups will be empty). Use a spoon to spread and fill the muffin cups.
- Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven.
- In a small bowl, dissolve and stir ½ teaspoon garlic powder into 2 tablespoon melted butter. Stir in chopped parsley.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with garlic butter while the biscuits are still warm.
- Loosen the sides of the biscuits from the muffin pan with a butter knife and gently remove the biscuits from the pan. Serve warm. Store any leftover biscuits in a sealed container in the fridge.

I love this recipe! It's my go to when I'm craving bread. It goes beautifully with spaghetti or chili... the only tweak I make to it is I use a full cup of cheese. These biscuits have saved me from myself so many times. Yummy!
Stacey says
Susan, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so happy you are enjoying them.
Sharyl Ann Holodinski says
Can these be baked on a sheet pan?
Stacey says
Hi Sharyl, yes, you can make them as drop biscuits on a baking sheet.
Hannah says
Hi,
Is it possible use 2 flax eggs in place of regular eggs for this recipe? I’m trying to make these for someone who follows the Keto diet and a friend who cannot have eggs.
Stacey says
Hi Hannah, I don't think a flax egg would work, but perhaps a gelatin egg could work.
Marie Tyndall says
Love these! Can I freeze them? For a crowd I want to make them a couple days ahead.
Stacey says
Hi Marie, I have not tried freezing them, but I have baked them a couple days in advance, stored in a sealed container in the fridge and reheated them.
Sara C says
Fantastic recipe! Super easy to make, and the biscuits turned out delicious. Make them asap!
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Sara, for making the recipe and for your kind words.
Marlene says
I just finished dinner, and I just wanted to compliment you on this delicious recipe. I am going to do a shout out to Costco for a refrigerated cioppino dish made by sogel that I felt this would compliment. I was correct on that, along with other seafood dishes, and maybe churrasco steak. I will probably try freezing these with the butter frozen separately.
Stacey says
Hi Marlene, thank you so much for trying the recipe and for the much-appreciated compliments.
Stephanie Deas says

Amanda says
Can this recipe be made ahead and cooked the day of? I'm looking to prep them the day before Thanksgiving and popping them in the oven to cook the day of.
Stacey says
Hi Amanda,
I have not tried that, but I think you could prep the day before and bake the day of. I just would not prep more than one day in advance.
Lisa Madinger says
Is there any other flour I can use that you could recommend, I'm just not a fan of the almond flour, it's to gritty for me no matter what I do, it's just to gritty. Thank You
LindaP says
Excellent, followed the recipe exactly and was not disappointed! My first time using xanthan gum, I now realize what all of my other attempts at keto baking were missing. Closest to bread/biscuit texture and feel I've had in a very long time. The best keto version of cheddar garlic biscuits I've found so far, had to stop myself after eating two in 15 minutes. Thank you for sharing, you're the best!
Stacey says
Thank you so much, Linda, for trying he recipe and for your kind words.
Laura says
these are totally amazing. I've been keto for about a year, but really miss my toast for breakfast. These are going to make all the difference - obviously, they're not toast, but they are absolutely delicious and it'll be no hardship whatso ever having one of these in the morning! Thank you !
Stacey says
Laura, thank you so much for trying the recipe & for taking the time to comment with kind words. I really appreciate the feedback.

Heather says
Any ideas as to what to substitute the sour cream with?
Stacey says
Heather,
You might be able to substitute the sour cream with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt.
Lyng says
There are 6T of melted butter & recipe only uses 5T?
Did I miss something?
And I added bacon. My husband is diabetic & loves this recipe. Thx!

Jory says
This was my first keto baking experience. As I was mixing it, the texture of the dough seemed a little questionable, but were way better than I anticipated. Now I have not been able to have gluten for 9+ years, so I may be a little tainted…
Had a little bit of a cornmeal texture, which I liked. Made for someone not GF and not on Keto and they said they enjoyed. Would make again!
Stacey says
Thank you, Jory, for trying the recipe and for your kind words.

Really great! I was expecting them to taste like the keto English muffin (I’m not a fan) BUT these are great! I used almond meal flour and left out the xantham gum.

Yummy 😋 just made those little cuties for lunch and they turned out beautifully. Wish I could post a picture while they are still hot lol can’t see an option for that😌
Thank you for helping people like me who have a problem with carb😘
Stacey says
Thank you, Asha; I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the recipe. Sorry, I can't have a picture uploader as I would have to hire someone to police that 24/7 because some people would upload some very inappropriate photos and get me in big trouble.
Lynne says
These are lovely. I didn’t have quite enough sour cream but added a little natural yoghurt instead and they’ve turned out really well
Stacey says
Thank you, Lynne, for trying the recipe and sharing your substitution idea 🙂

Erin says
Oh my gosh. I love that she took them and put them in her purse! And these keto biscuits look just amazing.

Erin, My mother in law liked to hoard & stash them in her purse so we would not get any of them, and then she would ask the server for more, lol. 🙂
Donny says
These look great! And sour cream in baked goods gives such great texture.
