Preparation and cooking overview
These tasty Low Carb Keto Biscuits involve combining simple dry ingredients, adding in grated frozen plant-based butter, and then forming the dough with almond milk and a flax "egg." After a quick knead, you cut out your biscuits and let them chill in the freezer before popping them into the oven.
With around 10 minutes for preparing and kneading the dough, 30 minutes for chilling, and 30-35 minutes for baking, you'll be able to enjoy these amazing keto-friendly biscuits in about an hour and 15 minutes.
Chef's note
Don't be afraid to put a personal twist on these biscuits! Try sprinkling in some of your favorite herbs or spices for an extra burst of flavor - rosemary, cheddar, or even a hint of garlic could take these biscuits to a whole new level. Plus, remember that the key to a tender biscuit is not overworking the dough - keep things light and gentle for the flakiest result.

How to make Keto Biscuits: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Cooking instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Combine the dry ingredients, including almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt, in a medium bowl.
- Use a box grater with a large grating side to shred the frozen butter into small pieces. Using a fork, stir the frozen butter into the sifted flour, ensuring that it is not overprocessed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and hot water, stirring until it forms a gel-like mixture.
- Make a well in the center of the bowl containing the flour mixture and add the flax "egg" and almond milk. Stir well until thoroughly combined.
- Dust a clean surface with a bit of almond flour and dump the dough onto the surface. Knead the dough one or two times until it comes together.
- Flatten the dough into a 2-inch tall disk and use a cookie cutter or tall-sided measuring cup to cut out (pressing straight down and not twisting) 4 large or 6 smaller ones depending on the size of your cutter.
- Place them on a sheet pan and put them in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the freezer and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once done, remove and let cool on the sheet pan for 30 minutes before serving.
Making keto biscuits without coconut flour
Biscuits made with coconut flour do have a distinctive feel to them, but it's nothing too intense. We've experimented with this recipe, replacing the coconut flour with an extra cup of almond flour, using 3 flax eggs, and an additional teaspoon of xanthan gum. The outcome? A biscuit that's a bit more crumbly but just as scrumptious.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix the dry mixture, like almond flour and xanthan gum, in a large bowl.
- Add the flax eggs to the bowl and stir well until combined.
- Dust a clean surface with almond flour and turn the dough onto it.
- Knead the biscuit dough a few times until it comes together.
- Flatten the dough into a 2-inch tall disk and cut out rounded biscuit shapes with a cookie cutter.
- Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper with the help of a cookie scoop.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the warm biscuits cool completely before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and keto-friendly buttery biscuits without coconut flour!

Frances says
I love everything you make but 571 calories is crazy for one biscuit, and 8 net carbs. Sorry I could eat a lot of food for that many calories.
Rachelle says
I give these 4 stars for flavor and texture. They're the closest to an actual flour biscuit that I've made. The flax egg really makes it. That said, I found that rolling them to 2 inches in thickness and then baking at 425 for 30 minutes meant that they rose up pretty nicely but the tops and bottoms got near-burned while the middle was still undercooked. If not for that issue, I would have given this 5 stars. Next time I'll try a lower temperature and see how that works.

I cannot believe one biscuit is 571 calories. Is that a typo?
