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! Serve alongside your favorite seafood recipe or pair them with some keto chicken soup!
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.

0Oh good grief, why didn’t I made these ages ago? I’ve had this amazing recipe forever, but never got around to making them. My bad. These are beyond amazing. I especially like the fact that this recipe doesn’t have sour cream or cream cheese…just good, basic ingredients that, when tossed together, make a delectable morsel of heaven. Great recipe and one I will never ignore again.
Margaret Tse
0I made the keto cheddar cheese biscuits last night for my family. I tasted it and found out it could use less of the fat contents, e.g. butter, heavy cream , cheddar cheese. The taste is pretty good though I would not put salt as cheddar cheese has salt in it .
Jenn Watt
0I make these in silicone muffin tins and they work great but you have to let them cool quite a bit to get them out without falling apart. These are a favorite of mine and my non-keto family!
Katie
0These are awesome!!!! Tastes just like the real thing!
Kristeena
0These were incredibly simple and quick to make. So tasty!
Sharon M Sheedy
0Hello
This a awesome. So good. Question can you freeze them?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sharon, Yes, these biscuits can be frozen! Wrap tightly in foil and store in a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
mckeemegan
0I am in love love love with these biscuits!!!!
Mine came out flat like a cookie and crumbly but that’s ok, I’m still going to eat them!!!
Shannon
0These are amazing and so easy! I was craving Red Lobster biscuits and these totally satisfied my craving, which not everything Keto-fied can do!!! Thank you for this recipe!
Jessica
0Hello! I can’t wait to make these! I was just wondering if you think I can put them in muffin tins instead? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jessica, I have not tried this, but I think they would come out fine baked in muffin tins. Best of luck!
Kathleen Pancoast
0Oh my!! These are awesome!! I made them a bit smaller. Used a 2 Tbps scoop. Made 20 2 1/2 inch biscuits. Baked about 15 minutes. They did spread and were kinda flat, but they were oh so delicious and slightly crispy on the bottom. Even non Keto husband loved them.
Denise Schmidt-McClintock
0Can you use a nut free flour instead of almond flour
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Denise, I don’t recommend using a nut-free flour blend for this recipe.
Lil
0These biscuits were more than delicious. It is soooo hard to not eat more than one. They were quick and easy to make, and does not taste low carb at all. I will make these again and again.
Adriana
0Hi, I am allergic to tree nuts. Is there an alternative to the almond flour I could try?
Melissa
0Hi Adriana, I have not personally tested this, but this recipe may work with sunflower seed flour.
Melissa
0I made these, with the almond milk, and they came out VERY good! We enjoyed them! Thank you for the suggestions!
Wholesome Yum A
0Do you think cashew milk would be ok to replace the heavy cream? It’s all I have at home right now 🙁
Wholesome Yum A
0That should work if it’s unflavored, Amanda.
Wholesome Yum A
0Awesome!! Thanks
Melissa
0What could you use as a substitute for the heavy cream?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Melissa, Coconut milk or almond milk should work fine in this recipe in place of the heavy cream in a pinch. It will change the texture a bit, but should still work out fine.
Maria Campbell
0These are delicious! My husband said I could make anytime.
Adrian
0These were perfect and taste great. The only thing was I buy cheese in blocks so I had a block and 1/2 of cheese I was shredding then I realized I had way too much cheese. They are 8oz blocks..lol duh way too much. So I put it in a measuring cup which was way less cheese I’m so glad this worked out my family loved them. Do you have good chocolate cake recipes? I have wasted a lot of flour trying already..signed very satisfied biscuit eater.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Adrian, I’m glad you liked the biscuits! I have this recipe for flourless chocolate cake and this recipe for chocolate cupcakes. I hope you love them just as much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0So glad you liked them, Adrian! I have a chocolate cake recipe coming up in a couple weeks! In the meantime, you can make keto chocolate cupcakes.
Kelly
0Can you use this recipe for biscuits and gravy?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kelly, Yes! That sounds super tasty!
April Leger
0All I can say is Wow! These were amazing! They were buttery with just the right amount of cheese and garlic flavor.
They tasted EXACTLY like the non-keto version! They were a huge hit with the entire family. I am definitely making these again.
Lisa
0These were incredible! On the next two batches, I didn’t even bother with the topping…they were so buttery and delicious as is!!! Thank you for creating this! (I don’t eat seafood but I used to go to the-restaurant-that-shall-not-be-named just for those biscuits!)
Marina Cansino
0I need to make these biscuits the day before, can the dough be saved overnight in the fridge? Perhaps in saran wrap? Will it effect taste or consistency?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Marina, You can, but the baking powder reacts right away so it’s possible they might not rise as much.
A Ford
0Holy c**p these are good!! I used Daiya mozarella as it’s what was on my fridge. Thoroughly delightful and I’m not going to have any left for lunches which was the original plan.
Melba Smith
0The taste of the biscuits is awesome. I had a problem with them sticking to the parchment. What did I do wrong?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Melba, Parchment paper is meant to be non-stick, so it’s possible you used the wrong side of the parchment paper.
Sandra
0Maya: How does one tell the right side from the wrong side of the parchment paper?
Sandy W.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sandra, Almost all parchment is double-sided, so unless it says that it’s single-sided, either side will work fine. If you do have single-sided parchment, the non-stick side will be the matte side.
Susun
0This recipe was spot-on! Add some red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos for a kick. Thank you Maya!
Jen
0Awesome! Going to test these on my dad. He is a diabetic and would like a roll with his dinner.
Erin Wilson
0How did it go with your Dad?
Della
0Made these and they were so delicious, but the only complaint everyone had is they’re very heavy. Anything to add to the batter to make them a bit lighter & fluffier?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Della, I am glad you enjoyed these biscuits. I don’t really think they could be made lighter than they are. Cheese and almond flour are dense ingredients.
Christina
0Oh my! I didn’t have high hopes – sometimes keto recipes just look good on paper (and other people’s pictures) and I’ve been disappointed more often than not. But these are wonderful! I made them ahead of time for a keto clam chowder lunch I’m going to with family tomorrow. Hope they will be just as beautiful, fluffy and moist tomorrow.
I made them a little large because all I had was a size 12 (5 tbls) scoop, and I filled it a little over half. Ended up with 10 beautiful biscuits,, gave them a couple extra minutes to cook. Also, I only had 1 1/4 cup of almond flour so subbed 1/4 cup coconut flour.
This one’s a keeper for sure! Thank you.
Susie
0Amazing!!
Leah
0Taste is pretty good. I might increase salt. But how to prevent biscuits from flattening? Maybe chill batter first??
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Leah, Chilling the dough will help them retain some of their shape, however, they will still flatten out a bit because of the volume of cheese that is added to the dough.
Christina
0These were AMAZING!!! Better than the original and just sooooo easy! I didn’t have a cookie scoop so I just used a 2TBSP spoon and they were perfect sized! Thank you!!!
Mariella
0Hi, under what temp and for how long should we bake it? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mariella, Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes.
patricia
0Made exactly per recipe, except topping. Just brushed on olive oil then sprinkled with flaky salt. I ended up with 18 biscuits — my largest scoop not as large. Delicious with bean-free chile! Leftovers are individually wrapped in the freezer.
Jessica
0I made these for dinner tonight. They were good but very dry. I followed the recipe exactly. What am I doing wrong? How can I make these less dry?
Also, does the type of cheese matter? I used sharp cheddar, I feel like it was just too strong so I’ll use medium cheddar next time.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jessica, It’s best to use whatever type of cheddar cheese you like to eat. If you’re not a fan of sharp cheese, then you won’t love sharp cheddar in these biscuits. This recipe will dry out quickly if overbaked, so be sure to pull them as soon as they turn golden on top!
Ashten
0Can you please direct me to the measurements? I must be crazy but I can’t find them anywhere.
Thanks!

Hollister
0Can you make these with coconut flour and if so how much? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum A
0Hi Hollister, I wouldn’t recommend that. Your biscuits will be too dry.
Brandy McCrary
0Recipe translated perfectly! Thank you for this!
Sabina Coyle
0These were delicious! Everyone loved them and had no idea they were low carb!
Chelsey

Whitney
0These are so fantastic! The cheesy flavor is absolutely perfect, and what a bonus that they’re keto!
Linda
0Chedda biscuit is my weakness and this one sounds even better because they’re low-carb. Love every bite about this especially when they’re freshly baked.
Healing Tomato
0I am so glad you used cheese in these biscuits! I love cheesy biscuits and can’t wait to make them for thanksgiving.

Beth

Marsha Maxwell
0These are heavenly! So cheesy and satisfying. I’ve also made a similar biscuit with sausage added – perfect for breakfast!
Liz
0These were delicious, Maya! I’m making another batch to freeze as they’re the perfect way to round out a meal!!
Anne Bailey
0Do they freeze ok? After cooking I assume? – Reheat how?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Ann, Yes, these biscuits will freeze well after baking. When you are ready to eat them, let thaw a room temperature and then re-heat in the microwave or oven. Full instructions are listed above in the “How to Freeze Low Carb Cheddar Biscuits” section of the post. Enjoy!
Cindy
0I’m always looking for good keto biscuits recipes, and this one looks absolutely delicious. Will give it a try this weekend!
Sharon
0I saved your recipe several months ago, and I finally made it…and I am so glad I did! Easy to make, and so tasty! Thank you for sharing this recipe. 🙂
Since I don’t have cookie scoops, I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup scoop, which yielded 10 biscuits.
