Cheesy Keto Biscuits – delicious! Even if you aren’t doing the Keto diet, you will love these biscuits! We had these at a friend’s house, and my husband couldn’t stop eating them!! SO good! LOADED with cheese! Cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs, baking powder, almond flour, and melted butter. Can make individual biscuits or one large loaf. I like to brush the baked biscuits with melted butter and garlic powder. #keto #bread #lowcarb

Pin This RecipeA few months ago we had dinner at a friends house. She was dabbling in the Keto diet and served these Cheesy Keto Biscuits. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they were DELICIOUS! Chicken Legs went crazy over them! He couldn’t stop eating them. I snagged the recipe from her so I could make them at home.
Now, these are not low-fat or low-calorie biscuits. They are LOADED with TONS of cheese. Cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. The only special ingredient in these Cheesy Keto Biscuits is Almond Flour. Almond flour is pretty common these days. I’ve found it at Walmart, Target, and Publix.
I used a 12-inch skillet and a large cookie scoop and got 16 biscuits. If you don’t want individual biscuits, I think you could just put the dough in the skillet or baking pan and make a loaf of bread. I like to brush the cooked biscuits with some melted butter and garlic powder.
Even if you aren’t doing the Keto diet, these biscuits are sure to please! We’ve made them several times and enjoyed them every single time!! They are great if you are doing a low-carb diet and missing bread!

Mine didn’t rise but taste good. I mixed all my ingredients together and then mixed in the Melted cheeses. Do you think I overworked the batter? Is there a particular order I need to add ingredients?
I add the ingredients in order as listed above. Could your baking powder be bad? Maybe try a new can and that might help with the biscuits rising more.
Hi Stephanie, thank you for this recipe, every time I make it I get rave reviews.
I've also started to use this dough as a gluten free deep dish crusted pizza, absolutely fantastic.
Great idea! I will have to give that a try the next time we make pizza. YUM!
Question? I have made this 3-4 times, and it is really tasty! How do you mix yours? Do you use an actual mixer? I do not, and do not really get anything ‘smooth’. I just mix it the best I can with a wooden spoon. I also just drop it in a butter-greased glass pie pan (it’s what I have). Yum! Just wondering how you achieve ‘smooth’… Thanks for the recipe!
I meant to ask if anyone has tried to freeze these?
I just made these in a foil lasagna pan & they turned out FANTASTIC! The only modifications I made other than the pan (I made balls &baked them in the pan that way) was I subbed one cup of shredded cheddar to mix with the mozzarella & I added a dash of herbs in the dough instead of the garlic butter on top as I don’t tolerate garlic well. Thank you for an easy keto friendly bread recipe! I have one for keto Hawaiian rolls that’s good but goes flat so I’m going to try the 4Tbsp of baking powder with that recipe to see if that helps.
I am wondering if I could substitute another cheese, like shredded cheddar, for the mozzarella?
I haven't tried any other cheese, but I don't see why not. Cheddar sounds good!
Just made this using cheddar because I didn't have mozzarella. It tasted deadly.
Recipe says 4 TABLESPOONS of baking powder. Is that a typo and should read 4 TEASPOONS?
NO – THE RECIPE IS CORRECT. 4 TABLESPOONS
Thank you!
This is the 2nd time I've made these. The 1st time they were flat, didn't let them sit long enough. These look like I did it correctly. Very good biscuit!
Mine came out feeling like a quiche. Is that normal?
The texture on these were perfection. Loved it!!!!! About to make another batch now. I have been keto for over a year and never tasted any bread like things taste as good as these!
How do you add the eggs to the hot melted cheese without them cooking? And what do I use if I don't have a cast iron skillet
You can use a cake pan.
Just tried this with some alterations; used coconut flour (didn't have any almond in the house) and hard cheddar and marbled cheddar instead of the mozzarella. I also baked them in a muffin tin individually which cut a couple mins off the cooking time! They turned out pretty tasty and the hard cheddar flavour offset the coconut flour (although it does still taste quite coconutty). Also mixed in some parsley with the garlic butter on top to make them look cuter. All in all a great recipe, would like to try with almond flour next time (or even regular flour if I'm not on keto), thanks for posting! 😀
Going to try jalepenos in it next time!
Great idea!!
can you use jack cheese instead?
I’ve only made these as written, but I don’t see why other cheeses wouldn’t work. Let us know how they turn out!
Bread is my downfall at restaurants and family functions. These delicious rolls made it possible for me to make it through Thanksgiving without feeling deprived and I even lost a pound by bringing my own Keto dishes from your list. Thank you!
What is the best way to store these? Making tonight for the first time and we usually have leftovers. Thanks Stephanie!
Just store them in an airtight container
