If you’ve been missing a certain biscuit at a certain seafood restaurant, it’s your lucky day! I’m here to deliver this keto cheddar bay biscuits recipe (a.k.a. cheesy keto biscuits)… and you’re going to love them. My keto cheddar biscuits are packed with cheesy, buttery flavor without all of the carbs that traditionally come along with them. And the best part is that these keto cheese biscuits are ready in 30 minutes and take just 8 ingredients to make. Easy, keto, low carb cheddar biscuits… what else do you need in life?!

These low carb cheese biscuits were inspired by my popular recipe for almond flour biscuits. Just a few added ingredients later, we have a cheesy version!

What Are Keto Cheddar Biscuits?

These are basically keto copycat Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits. You know the ones, right? They come out with your dinner and they are utterly irresistible. Buttery and cheesy… and full of refined flours!

So, I came up with this keto cheddar bay biscuit recipe, so that we can join in on the fun, too. And, I think it tastes just like the original version!

How To Make Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits

This keto cheddar biscuit recipe is easier than you might think – they take just 10 minutes to prep!

Here’s how to make keto biscuits with cheddar:

Mix together cheesy keto biscuits dry ingredients. Stir together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt.

Add wet ingredients. Stir in the egg, heavy cream, and melted butter until dough is uniform. Fold in shredded cheese. The dough will be dense and a bit sticky.

Scoop keto cheddar bay biscuits. Using a large cookie dough scoop, scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet and form into a rounded biscuit shape.

TIP: You’ll want to flatten them a bit, but do leave some room for them to spread. And if you want them a bit rustic looking, don’t form a perfect disc.

Bake keto cheddar biscuits until golden and semi firm. Let them cool for 10 minutes.

TIP: The biscuits will not fully firm up during baking. Letting them cool for a little while is critical for them to set and not fall apart. Don’t worry, they’ll still be warm.

Brush with topping. Stir together butter, parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt. Brush over cheddar keto biscuits and serve.

Ingredients In Keto Cheese Biscuits

There are just 8 simple ingredients in these easy keto cheddar biscuits:

Almond flour
Baking powder
Garlic powder
Egg
Heavy cream
Butter
Cheddar cheese
Fresh parsley

How Many Carbs In A Red Lobster Biscuit?

There are 16 grams carbs in a red lobster biscuit. Hence the reason I needed to create this keto cheddar bay biscuits copy cat recipe.

My keto friendly cheddar biscuits have just 3 grams net carbs per biscuit – and they are large!

Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuit Nutrition

The full nutrition stats can be found below the recipe card, but here are the highlights:

265 calories
3 grams net carbs
8 grams protein
24 grams fat

TIP: These keto cheese biscuits are large, so if you want the calories and/or carbs decreased a bit, you can make them smaller. Just use a smaller scoop.

How To Store Cheesy Keto Biscuits

Since these low carb cheddar biscuits are made with cheese, it’s best to refrigerate them. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.

You can gently re-heat them in the microwave or oven until warm.

How To Freeze Low Carb Cheddar Biscuits

You can also freeze these cheesy keto biscuits. Let them cool completely, then store in a zip top freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Store them in a flat layer until frozen solid.

Let them thaw in the fridge or at room temperature, then reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

I flatten this and use as my go to pizza crust recipe. So much crunchier and tastier than fathead dough.

I’ve been wanting to try keto cheddar biscuits for quite some time and this recipe ‘spoke’ to me out of all the other keto biscuits I found online. These came out perfectly and so delicious!! I didn’t have fresh parsley but added some dried and let it sit in the melted butter while the biscuits were baking. I had no trouble making 12 biscuits – mine weighed 50 grams per unbaked biscuit. I baked them for 16 minutes. Next time I’ll add chopped green onion. This is a winner! YUM!

I have been making these biscuits for years. Quick, easy, and delicious. They’re just as yummy without the cheese. Make these!

turned out great, very tasty, put them in the air fry for 2 min at the 375, at the end, to make them a bit crispy on the outside, loved them, going to melt a bit of cheese on top.

I love these!!! I swapped out 1/2 cup of almond flour for 1/2 cup ground flax meal and used a whole 8oz block of mild cheddar that I shredded. They are truly the best biscuit ever! Baking them for 16 minutes and letting cool for 10 minutes is key

My granddaughter-in-law served us Red Lobster biscuits last night for father’s Day and these tasted just the same….Except they were delicate, do you think baking them a little longer would help?

I love red lobster biscuits and I have to tell you that I love these even more. Someone said that they could not make 12 biscuits however I had no problem now I did use 2 eggs because my large egg looked so small but they turned out perfectly. My husband has already eaten 2 so they won’t last long lol. Thank you for the recipe and great directions. Ruby

These are very flavorful. Perhaps a bit too much garlic for me. I will make them again and leave out 1 tsp of the garlic. Maybe throw in some chopped green onion for some additional texture, color, and flavor. I’d leave a 4.7 rating if I could…

Best recipe for red lobster copycat. I tried another recipe online calling for 4 eggs and threw them out.
Thank you will be making these a lot. Everyone loved them!

These were really good! When I read the description, I was definitely interested, and while I can’t recall what the Red Lobster biscuits taste like because it has been so long since I’ve had them (I do remember really liking them!), these work for me! The real clincher is that my teenage son loved them! He was even eating them for breakfast and asked me last night if we could make more biscuits today. Now that’s a winner!

  These are so good, I love to make them when we have spaghetti. My family eats regular garlic bread and I have these and zucchini noodles. It’s a perfect low carb substitute. I think they taste better than the original cheddar bay biscuits too.

Mine came out super flat and crumbly. Tasted fantastic but more a cookie than a biscuit. Any idea where I may have gone wrong?

  Hi Alicia, Maybe check the expiration date on your baking powder… That may cause your biscuits to not rise correctly.

I’ve never had red lobster biscuits so wasn’t sure how close these came to the real thing….that is until my husband asked how I learnt to make red lobster biscuits! He said it tasted legit like the original. Love these with soups and as a quick snack with some cream cheese. Thank you!

These were absolutely delicious! Tastes very similar to the real thing. The flavors were perfect, and the butter topping was a yummy addition. What a great treat to have when on Keto, I’ll definitely be making these again. Thank you for such a great recipe!!

This is probably my favorite Keto recipe of all. I don’t make any changes. They are perfect as is. What’s not to love? Buttery, moist, real bread-like texture, and tons of cheese.
Grace

They definitely don’t make 12 (I doubled the recipe and got 12) and need a lot longer in the oven than suggested. You might think I made them too large, but my pan and spacing are the same as the picture, but my recipe was doubled. The taste was okay. There’s enough cheese and butter to compensate for the almond flour only recipe.

Just made these and they turned out really good! I would say, be careful not to eat too many in one sitting, they are super rich! If I make these again, I would add a little lemon juice to the topping. That is the only thing I think they are missing!

This was really yum! I added more garlic and cooked bacon bits in it too, oh delicious!
I plan to make more, slice them in half, spread cream cheese in the middle and have it with smoked salmon.

These are one of my favorite recipes. In fact, I like them better than the ones you get a that fish place whose name is something like Scarlet Crustacean :).

I’ve made them multiple times, starting with Christmas Eve, when my husband and I, who had been doing keto for a year, were missing a good side to go with the traditional keto chili and oyster stew. We loved them and ate more on Christmas day.

They’re so buttery and the garlic flavor is a hit. I’ve used the parsley garlic salt if I don’t have fresh parsley at the house.
Maya’s recipes are some of the best I’ve tried, and this one is no exception.

Absolutely delicious thank you so much, tweaked the recipe slightly by adding 1.5 tsp of mustard powder, reducing the garlic powder by half and swapping the Cheddar with Red Leicester. 5*****

Can you make the biscuit dough ahead of time and leave sit in fridge for about 6 hours until ready to bake them?
- Wholesome Yum M

  Hi Lynn, This may work fine, but I have not tested this. You may want to consider holding the baking powder back until the last minute so you get the most rise out of your rolls.

Hi! I tried this recipe last night and it was success with my picky husband. So, YAY! However I do believe I might have done something wrong. They turned out very crumbly, in a cornbread-like manner – but a lot more fragile to the touch. It was okay, since we were having chili; so we were just braking them into the chili anyway. Still, I’d like to try making them again for a different meal, any idea what I might have done wrong?

  Hi Andre, Your biscuits may turn out crumbly if you aren’t using ‘fine’ or ‘superfine’ ground almond flour. My top recommendation is Wholesome Yum Almond Flour. I hope this helps!

These are delicious! I added about a tablespoon of jalapeño juice to the butter topping. Next time I will add jalapeños to the dough. Thanks for the recipe!

These are amazing!! Every time I make them they just disappear. Personally we found reheating them didn’t do them justice so now I make a double batch and freeze the dough (after cookie scooping them) so we can pop them in the oven when ever we are peckish! Such an easy and delicious recipe

Second batch tonight but added 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese in addition to other ingredients. Made a fluffier dough and just as good if not better.
- Barbara
  0 October 23, 2021Reply
  
  James, so the addition of the Parmesan cheese did not make the dough too stiff? I guess my real question is whether you would recommend adding any more liquid (cream, egg or butter) when using the Parmesan cheese.

    Hi Barbara, I have not tested the recipe with that addition so I am not sure how that would work out.

First time trying it. It was very good. I used broil the last 3 minutes for a browner top. Be careful though if you do. They brown quick.

Hi! Could you use this biscuit recipe for the topping on a pot pie instead of regular flour biscuits? Not sure if the moisture from the ingredients in the pot pie would affect the texture or rise at all.

Thank you!

  Hi Shannon, I have not personally tried this, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just be sure to make the biscuits on top roughly the same size so they bake evenly. Enjoy!
