Who else does meal prep on Sundays? I canāt be the only one! And, low carb almond flour biscuits make a regular appearance in my prep.
More of you are looking at recipes here at Wholesome Yum on Sunday than any other day of the week. Clearly, many of you were crazy busy in the kitchen yesterday.
I have to say I totally agree with you ā Sunday is the best day to cook for the week ahead. Since these paleo biscuits with almond flour have been in my weekly rotation for the past month, I couldnāt wait any longer to share them!
Sunday meal prep has become a comforting routine for me.
My family doesnāt usually have concrete plans in the morning that day, so I ask my daughter if she wants to cook with me. She squeals in delight every time! She loves sitting on the kitchen counter as I do my cooking. I let her turn over measuring cups into a bowl or stir using a big spoon. Cooking is so sweet with your kids!
As cliche as it sounds, it feels like sheās growing up too fast. The time we spend together in the kitchen is just priceless. It feels like moments frozen in time.
Plus, weekdays get so busy for many of us. Having some aspects of meals ready to go in advance is a huge time saver and makes for easy weeknight meals that are still healthy.
After I made these almond flour biscuits for the first time, I wished Iād done it sooner. Not only were they deliciously buttery and satisfying, but having them on hand all week was so convenient!
I brought them to work, served them with dinner, and even incorporated them into snacks. What would you use them for this week?
One of the Most Versatile Almond Flour Recipes
Almond flour biscuits are surprisingly easy to make. And this particular recipe is super versatile!
These keto biscuits come together with only 5 ingredients that you most likely already have on hand. Plus you can make them in less than half an hour and have them ready to eat with your next meal!
All you need to make these low carb biscuits with almond flour is:
- Almond flour
- Gluten-free baking powder
- Sea salt
- Egg
- Sour cream ā this is optional and youāll want to skip it for the paleo version, but it improves the texture and makes them lighter.
(The amounts to use are on the recipe card below, but donāt miss my tips in the post first!)
If you want to make this into strictly paleo biscuits or need to be dairy-free, you can use coconut oil or ghee instead of the butter. You canāt swap out the almond flour for coconut flour, though, as it would be way too dry.
Variations for Low Carb Biscuits with Almond Flour
If you think of these paleo biscuits as a starting point, the sky is the limit. Really, you can get super creative with adding spices to the batter before baking.
Here are a few ideas:
- Add some rosemary and garlic to them for a nice savory roll to serve with a salad and filet mignon. Mmm.
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan and some Italian seasoning to this low carb biscuit recipe and serve them on the side with your keto chicken parmesan.
- Add in some smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a bit of shredded cheddar to your almond flour biscuits to make the perfect accompaniment to an low carb salad.
- Want paleo biscuits for breakfast with your morning coffee? Top them with butter and drizzle a bit of low carb maple syrup on top. Soooo good!
These are all savory versions, but Iāll bet you can go sweet, too!
How To Make Almond Flour Biscuits
These almond flour biscuits are super easy to make. All you do is combine your dry ingredients and then add in your beaten egg and melted butter, stirring to mix well. Thatās it!
Then, scoop the dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Pro tip: Use a large cookie scoop like this one for uniformly sized biscuits that will cook evenly.
So, so easy! Itās one of the reasons I keep making these low carb biscuits with almond flour again and again. The hardest part of the entire recipe is deciding if you want to make them plain or add some spices to them.
Well, that and waiting the 15 minutes for them to finish baking (thereās that patience part of the recipe coming in again!).
Tips For How To Make Keto Biscuits
Here are a few tips to get the best batch of keto low carb biscuits with almond flour possible:
Use finely ground, blanched almond flour
To get the best texture, you need to use the right almond flour. Youāre not going to want to buy almond meal for this recipe, but instead a finely ground, blanched almond flour.
If you forget to pack that cookie scoop well, your dough will crumble as you release it onto the parchment paper. And then youāll have crumbs instead of a perfect batch of savory paleo biscuits.
Give them room (doesnāt have to be much!)
Unlike those made with wheat flour, low carb biscuits with almond flour donāt spread or rise much. Because of that, an inch is totally enough space to leave between scoops of dough.
Ways To Use Low Carb Biscuits With Almond Flour
I actually have two ways of making these paleo almond flour biscuits. The ingredients and method are the same both ways, but I make them in two different shapes ā biscuits as shown, and also a larger, flatter version.
The biscuit shape is perfect to have as a side with soup, salad, or any entree or side dish.
Or you can use the larger, flatter version of these almond flour biscuits as a bun or low carb bread. Just because youāre eating well doesnāt mean you have to give up burgers on buns or sandwiches on bread!
This gluten-free biscuit recipe is fabulous to use for buns when you get to craving a BLT or thick, juicy burger.
You may need to reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes for the flatter ones. Since they are not as thick, they cook a little faster.
How To Store Paleo Biscuits
You can make these low carb biscuits with almond flour ahead of time, if youād like. Theyāll keep for a few days on the counter, or up to a week in the fridge.
You can even make a bulk batch and freeze them if youād like. Just take them out to thaw and reheat for use. You can warm them up in the microwave or oven right before serving.
The only question is, what are you going to use these paleo biscuits with first? A burger? A roll on the side of your favorite low carb soup? Or perhaps to make a breakfast sandwich?

Wednesday is soup day here, and I wanted something biscuit-like to try today.
These are super light, fluffy, and delicious! Instead of the sour cream, I used 10% yogurt that we always have on hand, so my batter may have been slightly wetter. I plopped tablespoonful on a cookie sheet, they came out looking like basic drop biscuits. Very moist and delicious with a generous blob of butter. I can’t wait to try them with some variations like cheese and herbs or even seeds on top! These could even be a breakfast staple!
Rebecca
Hello! I would love to give these a try, but only have olive oil on hand. Could I sub the butter for olive oil?
Thanks in advance!
RT
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rebecca, Olive oil should work in the recipe, however, I believe this recipe has the best taste and texture when made with butter. If you have coconut oil, that would be a better substitute than olive oil.
Stephanie
Added garlic powder and cheddar cheese and my 21 year old said if I hadnāt said anything she thought they would have been the red lobster buns
Natalie
I absolutely love these biscuits! Feels like real bread, don’t feel like I’m compromising on texture or flavor. It’s a keeper.
Robin
Wonderful. Thank you very much for this delicious recipe. They will be my go to keto biscuits forever more! Made them tonight for my chicken pot pie. Super easy to make – I used my food processor, mixing eggs butter cream salt and baking powder first, then added the almonds and a did a few quick pulses. You’re quite right about using half the amount of cream of tartar in lieu of baking powder – it works great. I also added 1/2 tsp baking soda. I substitute greek goats milk yogurt for the sour cream since that what I had on hand. Yum-yum -yum. Thanks!!!
Debbie B.
Loved these so much! Went beautifully with my ham & cheese egg bake for New Yearās breakfast.
Elena Bagutta
Can I substitute baking powder for cream of tartar?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Elena, Yes, that will work just fine. Try scaling back the amount to 1 1/2 teaspoons instead of 2.
Timothy J Ball
When I was just starting to go low carb I found this recipe and I probably make biscuits once a week!
I like to put in garlic powder and crush up some dry rosemary and add some shredded cheese mmmm!
Deanna
Tried this recipe and Becky….let me tell you, these are soooooo good! I was looking for a healthy alternative to traditional biscuits and these were a hit! The Ingredients were not hard to get either. Thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Kathy
For paleo could you use coconut milk instead of sour cream if you whipped it up to be a little stiffer?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kathy, Yes, that should work!
Angela N Ewing-Boyd
These are wonderfully easy and delightfully delicious and I often make them for weeks at a time. I am trying to with flax eggs for the first time tonight as I am taking the vegan (ish) plunge. Wish me luck! Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes.
Roberta Worley
For dinner last night, I wanted to make chicken pot pie the way my mom used to make it and that was with baking powder biscuits. So I used your recipe in conjunction with the chicken pot pie filling from The Girl Who Ate Everything. The biscuits were a big hit!
I have some leftovers so I want to see how they respond for tonight’s dinner. I did put them into a sealable container and they are now sitting in my fridge awaiting tonight. Stay tuned…(@|@)?
Lori
Hi I havenāt made these yet, but want to. However, I am on an anti-inflammatory diet, and canāt do butter at all. I also hate the taste of coconut, so canāt do coconut oil either. Could I substitute avocado oil for the butter/coconut oil? Thank you.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lori, Yes, the recipe will still work with avocado oil, however, the texture will be slightly different.
Ramona
Hi there!
I didnāt try the recipe yet, mainly because I am confused about the amount of calories per serving.
You said that the amount of calories per serving (1 serving size = 1 biscuit) is 164…..which is a huge amount, considering the fact that a Chocolate Chip Cookie (it is just an example) has 55 Kcal/biscuit.
I mean, I was super excited finding your recipe, but I think something is not right calculated. This amount of Kcal is really per biscuit, or for the hole recipe?
Thank you and sorry for being so picky!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Ramona, Just for clarification purposes, this recipe is for an American version of a biscuit (like a savory dinner roll), and not a cookie. The calorie count is correct per biscuit. This recipe is made with nutrient-dense almond flour and butter, so that is why the calories are higher than they might be using wheat flour and a butter substitute. I hope this helps!
Kathy
These really hit the spot if you’re craving a biscuit – great mouth feel, texture and flavor! And so easy to make, it’s almost laughable. (I added two tablespoons of flaxseed meal to mine for even more health benefits.) I’ve added this to my regular recipe rotation; I’ll try experimenting with other additions in the future, like cheese or rosemary. Thank you for a great-tasting easy biscuit recipe!
Diane
Great recipe! Added Italian seasonings, and two tbsp grated Parmesan the topped it off with everything bagel seasoning…really tasty! Thanks Maya!
LISA J BROYLES
These were good..I added cheese. My first biscuit in 4 months!
Deana
I just made these and love them! I flattened them a bit so I could spread mashed avocado on top when they were done. Yum!
Dirk
Born and raised in the south (GA, NC, SC, KY, TX, LA). Sister is a rock star of a professional pastry chef who makes the world’s greatest biscuits. Had very low expectations for this recipe because a wheat flourless biscuit sounded like a stringless guitar. I was wrong. Delicious, super easy and really scratched the itch. Couple tweaks: added cheddar and instead of butter I used melted bacon fat. (If you live in the south you have a mason jar or even a coffee can of leftover bacon fat. We use every part of the pig.) Outstanding.
Jennifer
These are delicious! Made them this afternoon to accompany some tomato bisque later and Iām so pleased with their non-eggy flavor. I stayed true to the recipe since this was my first go, and they were incredibly easy to make. The texture is a cross between a scone and cornbread, maybe a touch on the dry side, but thatās easily solved by a smear of butter. Iām definitely going to keep these in weekly rotation to keep my keto diet manageable.
Lynda Pedersen
Made these for the first time last night and they are delicious. Love that the recipe is so versatile and easy to make. We had leftover roast beef from your pot roast recipe. I made hot roast beef sandwiches for hubby and had mine with warm buttered biscuit.
Carrie Y.
Can I use just baking soda instead of baking powder? My son cannot have baking powder. What amount of baking soda would I use and would I need to add an acid like apple cider vinegar? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Carrie, I have not tested this, but you may be able to use 1 tsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Remember the salt in the recipe! It will help to offset the bitterness from the baking soda. Please let us know how it turns out if you decide to try it.
Carrie Y.
Thanks so much for your help!
Trish
Great recipe. Super easy to make and tasted great!! How many are we supposed to get out of 1 batch to best match the nutrition facts? I made 6.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Trish, This recipe makes 12 biscuits. I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
AJ plante
Got a little brave and decided to make these with brown butter and sage. Delicious! I ended up using an entire stick of butter because water in the butter is evaporated some so they were a bit more moist than a typical biscuit. Next time I’ll use just a bit more than the 1/3 cup but theses are a definite do-over. Can’t wait to try some other flavor twists.
Elizabeth Hess
Today I made these biscuits and they did not disappoint! Flavor and texture were great. I have really missed biscuits with my hard boiled eggs in the morning and these hit the spot. Thank you!
Joanne
Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes! You are a life saver!
My question is for this recipe, if you don’t have a cookie scoop, what is the measure of dough for each biscuit? I imagine just firming into a packed ball by hand and flattening on the tray would suffice. I have a 1 tablespoon scoop for the cookies I make. The one you recommend is a 3 tablespoon scoop. Thank you in advance! I can’t wait to try them as buns for burgers!!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Joanne, Yes, you can form a ball with your hands if you don’t have the scoop mentioned in the recipe. Your biscuits may look a bit more rustic, but you will get the same result. Enjoy!
Lorraine D
This is an amazing recipe. It really only takes a few minutes to put together and 15 minutes to bake. And the biscuits are flaky and so yummy!!! Thank you!!
Caroline
I need to be on a low carb diet for medical reasons and these biscuits were perfect!
Heather
Iāve been put on a restrictive diet while working through health issues and for three weeks now have only had animal protein, fat and well cooked green vegetables. Itās been fine but Iāve been craving something to snack on or incorporate that has body and texture, and isnāt a green vegetable! I found this recipe and made it just now… Wow!! So good and super easy! I donāt have a cookie scoop so I dropped by tablespoons onto the baking sheet, then rolled in my hands. It wasnāt sticky or anything. And they taste great to boot! Canāt wait to make them again with rosemary!
Dawn
I made these biscuits and I thought they were really good. They had more of a cornbread texture, and when I started thinking of them more as a cornbread, they were excellent. I am somewhat new to Keto, and I am so excited to get new recipes. Thank you!!!
Susan Eby
These biscuits are excellent! So easy to make and delicious!! I popped a 1/2 recipe in my toaster oven. They were perfectly done in 10 minutes in there. I served them with homemade muscadine grape sauce. What a winner!!!
Lolly
I have made these biscuits many times. I used the recipe as a base for other biscuits. I have made them large for a burger. Sooo, today I decided I wanted something sweet and also healthy. I added coconut sugar, cinnamon and ginger to the dry ingredients. I added an extra egg with a total of 3. After adding the rest of the ingredients, I added raisin and walnuts. OMGOODNESS!! It is so good. Just wanted to share this in case someone was wondering, hmmm, can I turn this into a sweet biscuit? YES, and you will love it.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lolly, Thanks so much for the great tips! They sound wonderful!
Linda
The recipe was easy enough to follow. I over-flattened my dough and ended up with cookies instead of biscuits.
I only ADDED cinnamon and now wish I had gone with cheese for flavoring. The taste was not to my liking as a result. I’m new to this type of product so perhaps it’s a developed taste (or tasteless).
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Linda, Sorry these didn’t meet your expectations. If you are interested in a cheesy biscuit, I have a couple here for you to try: Cheddar Bay Biscuits and Fathead Dinner Rolls.
Leslie
I made it as instructed the first time- came out fine but took a long time to bake. Second time I added 2 tbsps honey to the egg/butter mixture then 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to the mix. Baked faster this time and fluffier , more moist. Will try again soon and will adjust the time down a couple minutes.
Thanks
Roberta Rubio
I was so happy to find this recipe because I canāt find paleo bread or biscuits anywhere . The texture of these is great. Cut cold from the fridge for best sandwich making, less crumbly. But mine were so extremely salty. I used fine almond flour from Costco. Is there something I can add like a sweetener or apple cider vinegar to cut the salt? Thanks
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Roberta, You can omit the salt or use unsalted butter in the recipe. I hope this helps!
Joyce Wilbanks
This is the best paleo biscuit Iāve tried because they werenāt dry or eggy tasting. They are so good I feel guilty eating them. I canāt wait to try out your gravy and other recipes.
Precious
I love baking, but paleo/gluten free baking is new to me. This is the first paleo baking recipe that I’ve tried that’s turned out exactly like it did in the recipe! The biscuits taste good and make me feel like I’m eating something my grandma would be happy to put on the table back when she’d cook for me. The only thing I’d change next time is to make the biscuits slightly bigger, but the taste is also great for a small package. Thank you for sharing!
Brooke
Love this recipe!! Not a huge fan of the site format simply due to the videos popping up (I’m having a very difficult time just writing a comment) but I know all the blogs have the same thing. Worth it though, because these biscuits are fabulous! I love the slight crunch on the outside, and they’re a perfect base for sweet or savory toppings/flavorings. I made them for an afternoon tea party that included keto, lactose-intolerant, and paleo people lol so it was nice to use only one recipe for all! They were delicious topped with jam, fruit, and clotted cream, and I plan to make them again for a paleo strawberry “shortcake.”

Holly
This recipe is fantastic thank you so much. I think I flattened them too much so next time Iām going to make them bigger and a little thicker. This will definitely be part of my weekly rotation!
Rita
I made these last night. I added garlic powder and dried parsley. I couldn’t believe how much these reminded me of red lobster biscuits!! Next time I will add cheddar cheese. The texture was great. When I first took them out, I ripped one in half and it didn’t look done in the middle but after a taste test they were in fact perfect. It’s hard to explain but the middle was soft and moist like a real country biscuit. I’m glad I didn’t cook them longer.
I used King Arthur almond flour from Albertsons.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rita, You may love these… very familiar to a restaurant favorite! Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Dolores Phillips
These are delicious biscuits. I made the plain ones for the 1st time today & they are yummy, Recipe is so easy to follow.
Marti Walker
These biscuits have become my go-to for mini breakfast muffin sandwiches or ātoast.ā I almost feel like Iām eating bread, they taste great (my non-keto boyfriend tried to steal them) and I donāt get the wheat and gluten blues. And theyāre so easy to make!
Shannon
These are amazing! I didnāt change the recipe. The only thing I changed was I cut the butter into the almond flour cold. Thank you so much for sharing!
Charlotte Fox
Very good. How many do you usually get from this recipe? I got ten…so how many carbs each? No issues. Easy and delicious.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Charlotte, This recipe makes 12 biscuits. You can enter the recipe into an online recipe calculator to get the updated nutrition for 10 biscuits. Enjoy!
Sandra
Hello. Thanks for your recipe. I am not keto but enjoy making and trying out your recipes. I wanted to know if you can swap out the almond flour for buckwheat flour instead? I am trying to not use almond flour as much. Thank you.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sandra, Buckwheat flour will not work. These two flours have very different properties and can not be used interchangeably.
Jackie
Stumbled across your website this week and thought these sounded great so I’ve just given them a try. They are unbelievably simple and *so* delicious! As it was my first attempt I just made half the quantity and added half a cup of grated cheese, half a teaspoon of paprika and sprinkled a little cheese on top and they turned out brilliantly. I know I’ll be making them regularly from now on, especially as my partner is diabetic and has to watch the carbs – he thought they were delicious too! Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to trying out some of your other recipes – so many great ones to choose from!! š
Alicia
These were really good. JUST what I needed this am, ate them with sausage and eggs for breakfast. Mine were a tad sweet, but I didn’t have blanched almond flour so maybe that’s why?
Either way, THANKS for saving my diet!!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Alicia, I’m so glad you enjoyed these! Almonds can naturally be a bit sweet. The most flavor neutral almond flour is blanched and super fine ground like this one.
Amber
Made these biscuits & they are so good and easy to make! I always use wholesome yum for all my low carb recipies, and love my wholesome yum easy keto cookbook too! Will forever recommend your recipies to all my keto friends! Thanks for making low carb so easy and yummy Maya!
(Also canāt wait for you to be able to roll out an ad free website!)
Chook
AMAZING! I used a Chia Egg and it was perfect. I topped some with greek yogurt and fresh organic berries for a healthy short cake. For the others I put vegan cheese and sausage in between for a hearty breakfast. These will become a staple!
Erin
This has become a staple in our house -quick, easy and delicious. So happy to have found this as my son cannot have grains making “bread” products a challange.
JACKI L FISHER
Lovely surprise! Delicious! Easy to make.
Thank you for sharing all your recipes. They have made managing my Type 1 diabetes much easier.
Tausha Lunsford
Hi I just got your recipe and will be trying it in a couple days. I just started a somewhat keto lifestyle way of eating although.I do eat fruit and I have loved to learn how to make keto friendly recipes I started last friday and since then I have lost 6 pounds. For me this isnt a diet but a lifestyle change. I dont eat any Processed food any longer or sweets or bread or pasta other than what I can make that is keto friendly

Awesome recipe. I use everything but the bagel seasoning from Trader Joeās and add rosemary. Thanks for the recipe.
Leticia
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I was worried because I used Aldi’s almond flour and I didn’t have baking powder. I used sour cream, and I used plant based butter spread. Just to have as little lactose as possible. No salt, just a pinch of garlic salt. And SUCCESSFULLY they are great!!! Love the texture, flavor and consistency. Thanks
Beatriz
The texture is perfect and it looks great, but sadly I didnāt know I couldnāt use baking soda instead of baking powder, found out after it was done and tasted very weird. Donāt make the same mistake I did!!
Shari
Wow! I love your website and I have made many of your recipes and they never disappoint. But this is a game changer! So easy and delicious. Even my carb loving son liked them. I sybarites buttermilk for one of the eggs and added some cheddar cheese. Delicious
Missy Michaels
These were so quick to prepare and they are delicious, I have been missing bread after going mostly gluten free in 2017 due to health challenges. I love these biscuits and I always have these ingredients on hand so I will be baking these again and again. I used the coconut oil substitute that you included instead of butter. My son loves them too!
Katie
These biscuits are pretty delicious. Mine turned out quite crumbly, so I wouldn’t recommend forming sandwiches. FYI!
Cathy Urquhart
Absolutely delicious. I’m in quarantine at home and took a look in my pantry to see what I had a what could I make with it. Almond flour is what I typed into Google and your recipe showed up. I just made these and ate the first one hot with melted butter. OMG they are good. They will be the perfect accompaniment to the homemade chicken soup I just made. Thank you for a simple and delicious recipe.
J L Mitch
I’ve been baking these biscuits since I found this recipe a year ago; my husband loves them just as much as a buttermilk biscuit from scratch. I get 6 large biscuits out of the mix; they are best fresh though.
Kitt
Hi, I have made this in the past and love this recipe, but now I am doing keto and my gluten free flour (bobs red mill 1 to 1) has a LOT of carbs. Is it possible to use ALL almond flour and no gluten free flour to minimize the carbs? If I use my GF flour I think the nutrition info on my batch would be more than 2 net carbs.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Kitt, This recipe doesn’t call for any Gluten Free flour blends, it is all almond flour. I hope you decide to give them a try!
Kitt
Haha omg, I glanced real quick at the ingredient list and saw the gluten free baking powder and read it as gf flour! Ok wonderful! Yes, I have given these a try a few times- my boyfriend and I love them! I am vegan so instead of egg I use flax eggs, and it still turns out great! And I use melted Miyokos vegan butter. Iāll have to try with coconut oil sometime š Thank you!
Benita Stoney
You say use ghee for a dairy free version. Ghee is clarified butter.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Benita, If you cannot consume any dairy (and not simply following a paleo lifestyle) use coconut oil for a completely dairy-free version of these biscuits. I hope this helps.
April
Ghee is considered non-dairy because all of the milk solids have been removed. It is not vegan though.
Dani
Hi! Excited to try this. Could i substitute the sea salt for pink himalayan salt, if so what measurement do you suggest?
Dani
Tried the recipe… itās a keeper! Biscuits were perfect for morning breakfast. Did swap out the sea salt for just a pinch of himalayan salt. Thank you!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Dani, Yes these are interchangeable in the same amounts.
Alexandra
I tried to make these biscuits big enough to put turkey sausage in the middle and this recipe only made 5 biscuits and they are still kinda small. Plus they are a little too crumbly when I cut them in half.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Alexandra, Sorry these were too crumbly for sandwiches. I made them smaller and got 12 biscuits from the dough, so I didn’t experiment with making sandwiches with them. If you are looking to create a breakfast sandwich, try making chaffles. They are quite sturdy and hold things like breakfast sausage quite well.
Jen
Amazing recipe!! I added a little bit of sour cream to the mixture and it turned out great!
Brandie
Mine were a bit dry and I made try adding sour cream to moisten them up a bit! Thanks for the idea! I am southern and it is going to take some time for me to adjust from our buttermilk biscuits to these but I am going to try my best!
Meg
Made these today, turned out great. Very nice, light texture. Just barely too salty for my taste. Used the ghee version. Added some lavender to the batter and served with homemade sugar-free lemon lime curd. Thanks so much!
Cheryl
I have been craving biscuits lately and these were perfect. I will be making these again! Thanks!
Oksana
So Good!!!! I just made these delicious biscuits!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Sandy
I made them they made up a good texture but it tastes just like eating a handful of almonds. It’s just gonna take some getting used to. But the recipe did turn out good just as it was supposed too. Thank you for sharing.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sandy, Feel free to add seasonings if the almond flour is too prominent for you. Or you can try my keto cheddar bay biscuits that have more seasonings/additional flavors already added as part of the recipe.
Sandy
Thanks for the great recipe! I think the biscuits should be called ā5 ingredient biscuits, not 4.ā They have 5 ingredients, right? Ingredients include flour, BP, salt, eggs, and butter.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Sandy, I’m glad you loved the biscuits! I don’t normally count ingredients like salt, pepper, or water in recipes. They are generally things everyone has on hand.
Amy
Yum! Thank you for the gf, easy to follow biscuit recipe. I used melted crisco instead of butter. I scooped the dough with a round wooden spoon and slid it off with a rubber spatula and put on an un-greased cookie sheet. Came out beautiful. Good taste; probably better suited to eat with honey, jam, or peanut butter than say sausage gravy (now I also need a good, but easy rice flour biscuit recipe that isn’t crumbly!)
Andy
Iām new to keto baking (and baking in general) and this was a very simple recipe to follow. I added chocolate chips and the biscuits came out well in terms of shape and texture but quite bitter, I will use some stevia next time, I guess itās just a case of tweaking for personal taste, thanks.
Jackie
Don’t know why I can’t leave any stars – I rate this a definite 5. Made this recipe (doubled it) for the first time today and it was fabulous. I collect the rendered fat from bacon to use in cooking and I used it in this recipe. Next time I will cut down on the salt if I do it again. This is a great quick breakfast option for me with a spoonful of chocolate peanut butter on top – yum!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Jackie! Sorry about the glitch with the ratings today, that’s fixed now. I marked it per your request, only because you stated what you wanted to rate. š I’m so glad you liked these. I agree that cutting the salt is a good idea if you’re using bacon grease, since that already has salt added.
Sharen Harris
Jus AWESOME!!!
Marta
So simple to make!! I used a teflon muffin pan for 12, it was perfect and very delicious. I added garlic powder, shredded reggianito cheese and rosemary….so good!!
Andre
Just made these. Added a 1/2 tsp Erythritol to the batter. Turned out great. Even made larger ones to turn into bacon and egg breakfast sandwiches. Thanks for the simple recipe.
josephine higgins
Hello are there other measurments available? cups mean nothing outside America. is it a tea cup? ingredients are usually measured by weight as in grams. Liquids are measured in ML. I have no clue what a cup is.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Josephine, Please switch the recipe to ‘Metric.’ The option between ‘US customary’ and ‘Metric’ is right above the recipe.
Lanee
Mine taste like baking soda and salt. All went Into the garbage.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lanee, I’m sorry these didn’t turn out as expected. Please don’t use baking soda in this recipe. It will make your biscuits very bitter.
LaneƩ
The recipe calls for baking soda? So if Iām not to use it why do you have it in there?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lanee, The recipe calls for baking powder. There is a difference between baking soda and baking powder, they are not interchangeable.
LWS
I would like to add a little bit of coconut sugar or stevia for baking to lightly sweeten and add some matcha powder for flavor. Any suggestions on quantity/measurements and other thoughts? TY!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi LWS, It sounds like you are possibly looking for more of a scone recipe? I have a great Blueberry Scone recipe here. If you prefer you can omit the berries and add matcha powder, although, I am not sure how much you would need. I’m sure the amount would vary depending on the quality of the matcha powder you are using. Best wishes!
Shiraz Peer
These came out rock hard and tasteless š
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Shiraz, I’m sorry these didn’t turn out as expected. They should definitely not be rock hard, as they are quite tender normally. Did you get the same number of biscuits as I did? This recipe should make a dozen. Perhaps they were overbaked if the number of biscuits changed.
Alpana
This is an amazing recipe! Iāve made this for my family quite a few times and they always ask for more! Iāve also sent this recipe to friends and they also agree. My new go-to!
Ally
Looks great! Would I be able to substitute the butter for melted coconut oil?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Ally, Yes! Butter will work just fine.
Julia
I have made this recipe many times, it never fails! So easy, so yummy, so satisfying! Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
Antonetta
I followed your recipe but it was a disaster. The dough was very crumbly. I thought I would bake a small piece and when I bit into it it fell apart.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Antonetta, I’m sorry this recipe didn’t turn out as expected. Did you happen to watch the video in the recipe card? It should help give a visual of what the dough should look like before scooping and placing on the baking sheet.
Melissa
I used the ingredients measurements for 12 biscuits. It did not mix up like in the video – still dry with just some partially dry balls where the eggs and butter stuck to some of the flour. Added one more egg and the rest of the stick of butter and still the same. I am really ticked off because that is 2 cups almond flour gone to waste. I think the 2 cups of almond flour is incorrect or something is off in the measurements. I don’t understand how these reviews are so glowing. I double and triple check my measurements. Not sure what went wrong. Not happy and probably won’t try any more recipes here. Honestly, biscuits should have milk or some sort of milk. When all you add is butter, it’s almost more like a pie crust.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Melissa, I’m sorry these biscuits did not turn out as expected. Did you melt the butter before adding it to the flour mixture? The only reason I can think that the dough would be dry is if the butter was worked in as a solid.
Carrie
I was thinking that sometimes people scoop the almond flour in the bag and it gets packed too much that way therefore it will have more than the cup measured. It should be lightly scooped into a dry measure cup with a spoon. Or maybe using the wrong kind of almond flour?
Amanda D
These are Amazing!! Thank you so much for this recipe! They taste like Cracker Barrelās cornbread muffins except not sweet ( which I prefer) Love love love!!!! I ate two as soon as they were done and had to refrain from eating a third! Contemplated freezing some of them so they wouldnāt go bad, but decided they probably would be gone before that happened. Definitely a keeper!!
I added 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast and pulsed dry ingredients in food processor a couple of times to eliminate lumps as I usually store my almond flour in the freezer.
Make sure if you are using salted butter to reduce your measured salt by half..S
lou
I imagined this would actually work as a hamburger bun. No. But it would work as a biscuit with butter and jam or fruit and some confectioner’s sugar. Not sure I will try it now for anything else. Although the baking powder was new and not past sell by date, it did almost nothing to raise the biscuits. These just don’t get much bigger than the uncooked dough on the sheet.
Maybe I was expecting too much. Almond flour is just not as versatile as wheat flour.
Michele
I Just made these, on parchment paper on a tray on a flat grill, to go with some grilled chicken thighs. Everybody raved. We topped with cheese after, but next time I will sprinkle some in the batter before I bake. It’s a keeper! Thank you š
Amy
Absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing! š
Erin K
Super easy & delish!!
Kerry
Just made these tonight and they are delicious. The whole family loved them. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
Pam Erselius
Thank you for sharing this recipe; Iāve been looking for something like this to eat as a scone.
How long do they keep? How wide in inches should the scooped balls be? I donāt have a large scoop.
What size should the large flattened circle be? Maybe you could bake one to tell us how long to bake that.
Thank you so much for your help. Have a nice day.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Pam, You don’t need a large scoop, just a tablespoon! Flatten each biscuit lightly to a small puck shape. Don’t over flatten, they will be roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Best wishes!
Angela
Hi there! I am a Keto-Girl but am also allergic to EGGS…( DUN DUN DUUUUUN) I know! It sucks, but I want to make your bisquits along side a Keto Country gravy recipe…any advice on substituting the 2 large eggs?? Thanks a ton, and can’t wait to try!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Angela, You can make this recipe with a couple of flax eggs or vegan eggs. I hope you enjoy!
Jessica
I just want to apologize for all the rude comments people left. Absolutely terrible.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Iāve read through comments and suggestions & I look forward to having them w/ our Easter dinner.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Jessica! Appreciate your support. Hope you love the recipe – come back and leave a rating if you get the chance after you try it.
Vicki L
These were bomb, thanks so much for sharing!
Tonya Smith
I made the biscuits yesterday. I like them. Today I took a few of the biscuits and used them as my crumbs in my salmon patties, adding egg to adhere, chopped onion and normal seasoning. They turned out very nice! I’m going to try meatloaf/meatballs with them. I’m sure it will work.
Christine Cole
I have been experimenting with almond flour I make from the meal I get when I make my own organic almond milk. I take the meal, dry it under a heat lamp, grind it fine in my spice grinder, and use it in baking. Using this biscuit recipe, the biscuits were way too dry. I am wondering why you melt the butter when traditionally the butter is supposed to be as cold as possible and cut into the dry ingredients for a tender, moist biscuit. Any other thoughts?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Christine, The issue is the almond meal you are using. This recipe calls for finely ground blanched almond flour, and the result won’t be the same using leftover meal from almond milk. Sorry.
Susan Heller
The recipe doesn’t say how many biscuits to make but basket of biscuits shows 6. So is this recipe for 6 biscuits?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Susan, This recipe makes 12 biscuits. Enjoy!
Cecile
Great recipe! I was looking for a way to satisfy my hubbyās bread craving with less carbs. I only have a cookie scoop, so my biscuits are smaller; I baked them on a parchment lined pizza stone instead of a metal sheet pan. Iāll definitely use this recipe again. I imagine adding some shredded cheddar in the near future… yum!
jrh0
These are great! I found this recipe when I couldn’t figure out what to do with my year-old almond flour. I used olive oil for half the fat, and added rosemary and garlic powder. The biscuits have the same cohesiveness as wheat flour biscuits, and taste a whole lot better. I’ll need to buy more almond flour now!
Cindy
Simple to make, tastes great. Makes a great replacement for cornbread. Add a little butter and honey and it tastes just like cornbread!
Lynn
Theses are very good! I don’t see how many tablespoons form one biscuit, all I could find was to scoop tablespoons (plural).
Also, I assume you store in an air tight container in fridge. How long do they last?
I added cheddar cheese, delicious!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Lynn, You can use a cookie scoop to portion these biscuits or divide the dough into 12 equal portions, whichever works best for you. These biscuits can actually sit out at room temperature for a few days, or a week in the fridge. These biscuits also freeze nicely for a longer-term storage option. Enjoy!
Noneya
Why do you say “4 ingredients” when it’s clearly 5 ingredients?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Noneya, I don’t count ingredients like salt, pepper, water, etc. Enjoy!
Christine Hawrylczak
This is just what I have been craving since I was put on a gluten-free, dairy-free, yeast-free, soy-free, sugar-free diet. Iām a big snacked/grazer and discovered you can only eat so many nuts as a snack before they are no longer appealing. Iāve has the recipe sitting in my āto tryā binder for a month. I wish I had tried it sooner. Not only is it just the right texture and taste, but so easy to make that I had to check 3 times because I thought I was doing it wrong. This will definitely be my go to snack.
Thank you!
Michaela Dodson
I have made these several times and have never been disappointed! I feel like I am cheating every time I eat them! Soooooo good!!
Clare Bainbridge
Hi just a heads up from the UK. ‘Biscuit’ in UK English means a cookie,usually a hard crispy cookie. This is why some comments may be that they are not a ‘biscuit’. It may be a good idea to add ‘Scone like’ somewhere in the description for your UK friends.. I made them and they were awful, way too salty yet I only used half the amount of salt suggested and yes it was sea salt flakes. However, my baking powder was just a week from going out of date, so I will try them again as they smelt divine while cooking, but had a horrible metalic after taste.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Clare, Thanks for sharing that info for our UK readers! The saltiness issue might be because you used sea salt flakes – mine was finely ground, similar to a regular salt. But of course it’s a matter of taste. This is meant to be a savory biscuit to eat with soup or salad, so wouldn’t be sweet and would taste too salty if you were expecting sweet. There should be no metallic aftertaste, but that can happen if your baking powder has aluminum in it (check if it says aluminum-free). I assume you didn’t use baking soda, but mentioning just in case, as it’s a common swap people make by accident that causes a terrible aftertaste as well. Hope you get the chance to try them again!
Tammy
Hi Maya, I need your help. I am new to baking with almond flour and have only made your choc mug cake and mug bread and loved them. I opened a new bag of almond flour to make these biscuits and once cooked I found a hard ‘thread’ for lack of a better term, in the middle upon breaking 2 of them open to test doneness. The ‘thread’ was hard enough to stay intact and in place on one side of biscuit and pull cleanly from the other side if that makes any sense. I don’t know if this is normal in oven baking with this flour or if something is wrong with my new batch as the other recipes were wetter and done in microwave so no chance to see such a phenomenon. Hoping you can understand and advise as I’d hate to throw up an whole bag of flour at the insane price I pay for it.
Thanks for all your hard work and awesome recipes!!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Tammy, That does not sound normal. Is there a possibility you can return your almond flour for a replacement bag?
Tammy
Thanks so much for the reply. I don’t really know. Thankfully I ordered some new stuff (different brand as well) I was so hoping though, that this was normal and just pieces of almond that didn’t get powdered or something, but I’m so paranoid, I wouldn’t eat it anyhow. š
Hannah
It sounds to me like a piece of egg that didn’t get beaten well enough
Coco s
Hi, can I sub the almond flour with cassava/oat/whole wheat flour? I am sensitive to almonds. Thanks!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Coco, I am sorry, I have no idea if any of those flours would work in this recipe. Best of luck!
Darcy
I don’t know about the flavor but you can swap 1:1 with sunflower seed flour. Some flours, such as coconut and lupin, can not be swapped as they do not behave the same way.
Rissa
How many does this yield so I can portion them out correctly? Should I use a tablespoon or what to portion them out as I have no clue because that seems tiny lol thank you!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rissa, This recipe makes a dozen 2″ biscuits. I made mine smaller, but you can make them a little larger if you’d like.
Lynn Verzwyvelt
Used this recipe at least 7 times in the last week and a half. Biscuits twice and 5 different cookie variations. Extremely versatile. PB, chocolate, coconut, coconut cinnamon sugar and chocolate chip cookies, all delish. Thank you very much.
Aleem
I made biscuits as per your recipe. They taste good but are not crunchy. What may be the reason.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Aleem, These biscuits aren’t intended to be crunchy. If you wanted them to have a crisp exterior, you could use an egg wash on them before baking in the oven.
b
These were so easy to make. I put 1 Tbs into silicone muffin cups, smoothed them with the back of a wet spoon and under cooked them a few minutes. A spread made of jam mixed with cream cheese worked well with coffee for the morning. I’ll try them mixed with cheddar and bacon to see how they taste, or maybe that’s another recipe and also that ghee, strictly speaking, isn’t dairy free?
You do realize there’s 5 ingredients, right?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi B, I’m so pleased you like them! I don’t usually count salt as a key ingredient in recipes, since it’s something most everyone has on hand. Ghee has the dairy proteins removed, so although it is still butter, it’s also lactose free (or low lactose depending on the brand) and usually well tolerated by those who can’t do dairy.
Susan
I love these biscuits! When I first made them, they came out with an aftertaste. My baking powder was old, so in the next batch I used new baking powder and that fixed it! Also, I add a little more flour so that it is not quite so sticky. I put a bit of oil on my hands so that I can scoop a bit of the dough, roll it into a ball and then place it into a greased muffin pan. I then press each one down with the back end of a small glass so that the top is just a little flattened. They come out like perfectly shaped biscuits, not crumbly at all, that can be sliced for butter, etc. I usually mash a few raspberries for ājam.ā We are enjoying breakfast like we used to before changing our diet! Canāt wait to try more of your recipes!
Dariana Tejeda
Thanks for this recipe! They were a bit salty for my taste (will adjust to 1/4 tsp of salt next time) but some sugar free jam covered that right up! Will be trying your Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe next!
Cheryl
Of all the low carb breads, biscuits, and muffins I have made, these taste the most like the regular high carb version. Easy to make and delicious!
k
These basically taste like a soft almond cookie. They really don’t have the texture or the taste of a biscuit. But they are good
Mona L Chase
I sift my flour normally and I sifted the almond flour and the dry ingredients they are in the oven anxious to see if that was not necessary ..they smell great!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Mona, It really depends on the application. Sifting your flour will be beneficial in these biscuits, but it is not necessary. The differences are marginal compared to sifting white flour for recipes.
Kristen
I made these last night to go with some chicken soup. Omg they were amazing! I used salted butter and they were slightly too salty but still amazing. Iām planning to make them again with less salt and add a little honey to sweeten. Thank you for a great recipe!!
Ashlee
Holy smokes – I made these today and they are amazing!!! Feels so good to eat biscuits again! I cannot wait to try your other recipes!
Phyllis Dufrene
I cannot wait to try these biscuits. I’m hoping to get more low carb recipes. Thank you!
Robin
These look good. I am on a high protein moderate fat keto diet. Is there anything I could do to decrease the fat grams per biscuits?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Robin, Because there are so few ingredients in this recipe, there isn’t a lot of room for alterations. To lower the fat, you could remove one egg yolk and add another egg white. So the recipe would total 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites. The texture will be a little crumbly, but it should still work fine.
Sophia
These were delicious! I made added golden raisins and orange zest and enjoyed them with tea and coffee.
Dean Oppermann
I use cold butter with a cheese grater added some shredded parmesan biscuits rolls very nicely quite tasty
Jane
These biscuits were vile. Very salty and disgusting after taste. Binned the rest. Waste of ingredients! Followed the recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jane, Sorry to hear you had issues with them. Did you by chance use baking soda instead of baking powder? This is the most common culprit for an aftertaste. There should not be one with the ingredients in the recipe, using baking powder.
Karen
No need to butter. They taste buttered from the butter they are made with. Don’t expect these to taste just like bisuits because they don’t, however I could have eaten every last one of them in one sitting. Delish! Easy. Quick cooking. 5 out of 5 Stars.
Victoria Meyer
Excuse me but why on earth would you EVER find GLUTEN in BAKING POWDER???? Please stop spreading ignorance. Unless they’ve started putting wheat flour based bread particles into baking powder, your request to use “gluten free baking powder” in your keto biscuits recipe is ridiculous and spreads ignorance. Gluten forms in wheat flour based dough after you work it with your hands or a rolling pin. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Victoria, Baking powder can be made with wheat starch, however, corn starch is more common to find on grocery store shelves these days. Baking powder also needs to be marked as Gluten-Free for cross contamination issues. Shared manufacturing and processing equipment (especially for things like fine ground flours and powders) is the perfect place for wheat to contaminate baking powder. If you do not have a gluten intolerance or celiac then this labeling is not as important, but if you do, then it’s important to know you are buying a clean, gluten-free product.
Karen
Stop being so rude!
Brandi
What is your deal? That was a very unnecessary rude comment. Have you even made this recipe? She is only trying to help those who might get sick. You have only made yourself look ignorant. Stop spreading negativity.
Thank you so much, Maya, for your wonderful and delicious recipes and for the time you take to respond to your reviewers. I love your site and have never tried a recipe here that I or my family didnāt like.
Jillian
OMG AMAZING KETO BISCUITS!! I was craving bread the other night so of course I hopped on wholesomeyum to check out Maya’s recipes. I reallyyyy wanted to try the cheddar bay biscuits but I didn’t have all the ingredients on hand so I used this recipe but added in some shredded cheddar and garlic granules.. holy cow they were absolutely delicious! I will say they tasted a little almond floury (nothing a pat of butter couldn’t mask though) but I think that was a mistake on my end I used a spatula to mix and I feel like I should have used my hand mixer as the dough was pretty dense I was probably just impatient and didn’t mix for long enough. Also I didn’t use my trick of getting the eggs to room temp before using them which I find masks alternative flour tastes and also mixes easier.
Jessie
Could I add cheese to make them into cheddar biscuits? If so, how much would you recommend?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jessie, I think you could add 1/2 cup of grated cheese to the mixture and they would turn out fine. Or, you could check out this recipe for Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
HÄna K
These are great! I made mine with coconut oil and folded some raisins in at the end and theyāre reminiscent of Irish soda bread or little scones. Great for warming up in the toaster oven and having with coffee!
Todd
Mine came out tasting very salty with a bad after taste. I used the listed amount of salt but used regular salt not sea salt, could that be why?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Todd, Yes, the different type of salt will change the level of ‘saltiness’ in this recipe.
April
I used sea salt and it still came out with a aftertaste and a bit salty. I used ghee butter but followed everything else to the tee.
Jason Ward
Don’t know what I did wrong, but mine were horrible. Took one bite and threw the rest away. Very little flavor and middle was dense/ doughy. My search for a low carb bread continues.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Jason, I am sorry you were not pleased with the results of this biscuit recipe. If the middle was doughy, then I would suspect they were not fully baked and needed longer in the oven. Baking times may vary due to the fact that everyone has a different oven. Oven temps are not always consistent and many have hot spots.
Patti K.
Wow, are these good, and so simple to make. (Especially delicious spread with raspberry preserves, for those of you who are here. as I am, more for the GF quotient than the keto. ; ) ) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Nancy
What and how much can I add to make this a morning coffee biscuit?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Nancy, Are you wanting to make these sweet? I would suggest a 1/2 cup or erythritol and 1 Tbs of cinnamon, but I have not tested that personally. Please let us know how they turn out if you decide to try it.
Anita
These are yummy! Our go- to for a fast easy GF & Keto accompaniment to soups or breakfast. I loved using a scooper for a more uniform biscuit (though what I have is 1 T size, so they’re truly “one bite” biscuits). I hope to try soon with the Ghee or coconut oil options.
Shireen
Getting ready to make but do you have net carbs for 12?
Wholesome Yum M
Total net carbs for all 12 biscuits? 24 grams.
Tamera
I made this today to go with chicken chili. So good. I cheated and tasted one after they cooled. I am taking them to a chili cook off, I don’t think anyone will believe they are keto friendly!
alicia w.
Hello, not sure if someone asked already… can I use coconut oil or butter substitute?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Alicia, Yes, you can use coconut oil in place of the butter.
Loryn
The texture was great! I had to bake them longer than stated, so it ended up being 20 minutes vs 15. However, they have a very strange sour after taste that turned me off. It was disappointing to make a whole paleo breakfast, and my first bite of biscuit was icky. Maybe add sweetner of some kind to the recipe?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Loryn, I’m not sure why they would have a sour taste. Did you add 2 tsp of baking powder or 2 tbsp? Too much baking powder would definitely give an sour or bitter taste.
Christopher Ryan
Havenāt actually tried the recipe yet, but only because I had a question: what if you donāt use gf baking powder? Would that change the taste/consistency too much?
Thanks again!
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Christopher, Baking powder causes baked goods to rise. Without the baking powder, you will have much smaller, harder, denser biscuits. I wouldn’t recommend skipping that ingredient.
Christopher Ryan
What I mean is: does it HAVE to be gluten free baking powder, or does regular baking powder work just as well?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Christopher, Thank you for clarifying. You can use whatever baking powder you have on hand. The recipes on this website are gluten-free and that’s why it is specified in the ingredients.
Kat
Hi Christopher,
This may be a little late but I think your question might be gf baking powder verses non-gluten free. I am celiac so it is important to me to use gf but regular baking powder should not change the taste if you don’t need gluten free.
Craig Redlin
Left a slight after taste…not sure what I did wrong.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Craig, There shouldn’t be any aftertaste. Did you by chance use baking soda instead of baking powder? That’s a common culprit.
Susan A Speed
Tried these almond biscuits. They were so awesome I ordered the cook book. My husband even liked them. I was just about to give up on the keto diet because I was missing bread and crackers.. I can’t wait to see what else is in the cook book!!
Kassandra D Davidson
I made these… I put them in larger muffin tins so they were more muffin like but… yes and yes
Karla Van Sickle
I made these biscuits and they are delicious, first bread of any kind that I have had since I started keto in August. Thank you
Xanthe
These biscuits are keeping me alive on my keto journey. I keep making them as I never want to run out. Iāve tried variations, but the original recipe here is my favourite. Thank you so much for making my diet possible and so much more enjoyable.
Now, to attempt your keto chocolate ice cream š
Joan
These biscuits are so delicious…. I have made them many times. When making the larger, flatter buns, does the recipe still make 12, or should I make less? Thanks.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Joan, Depending on what size you need your buns to be, you will get a different number. If you are making them larger, then I would suspect you will get fewer buns overall.
Darlene
How much sodium is in the biscuits?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Darlene, I am not sure. Maybe this information could be looked up on an online food calculator?
Brittany
Any chance I could use cassava flour and make them egg free somehow? Canāt have almonds or eggs
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Brittany, I am sorry, I don’t know. Cassava has different properties than almond flour, so I don’t think you can sub 1:1.
Niada
These were very good, I can see how you can easily add herbs or cheese to this recipe for different flavor profiles. I toasted the last one in my cast iron skillet and it was pretty tasty. I will definitely use this recipe again and again and look forward to experimenting with additions. Thank you!!
Brandi
Made this last night and loved it! Do you think this dough would work for pigs in blankets (like, instead of using crescent roll dough)? Anyone tried it?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Brandi, I’m glad you like it! No, this dough doesn’t bend the way you’d need it to for wrapping. For that, I recommend fathead dough instead.
Veronika
Wow! Very pleasently surprised by these! Taste just like regular biscuits! Will definitely make again.
Sue McClelland
My husband recently was diagnosed with DH (dermatitis herpetiformis). We have struggled finding gluten free recipes and foods that he actually likes. This is a great recipe and he has enjoyed these biscuits. Thank you!
Vino Govender
I halved the recipe just to give it a try. It’s really good and as you say, versatile as a savoury or sweet treat- almost scone-like. Definitely a recipe I’ll be using even when I’m off keto.
Thank you munchly!
Evelyn
I am so happy to have come across this recipe. I have made them 4 times in the past few months. So easy, so tasty, so good! The last few times I’ve added some finely chopped green onion and sundried tomato.
Thank you for sharing your talent!
BillInIowa
I added sour cream, It helps to get the baking powder started to do its thing. Also good with adding cheese
Sandy Waites
How much sour cream did you use
Claudio JimƩnez
Hello! Thank you for all your recipes. Keto has saved me from t2d, but there are so few choices that if it wasn’t for you I think I might have quit or be bored to exhaustion. Now, what happens if I add beaten egg whites to this recipe?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Claudio! I’m so glad my site and community has been helpful for you. I haven’t tried adding beaten egg whites to these biscuits. The dough might be too dense to fold in well, but let me know how it goes if you try it.
Doreen
Hi Maya, Hi Claudio… The first time I made these biscuits I had a jar of leftover egg whites in my fridge from making ice cream. I had read that 2 egg whites = 1 egg in another ice cream recipe so I used 4-5 egg whites in place of the 2 eggs… the biscuits were wonderful. I’ve made them twice since and have been pleased with the outcome. Note: I do add a tablespoonful of oat fiber and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum when I use 5 egg whites.
Tara L McLoughlin
Wow! Really good biscuits and super easy too! I had a difference recipe that I was going to try but it had like 8 ingredients and that just seems like too much work, sometimes. I can see how it easy it would be to modify the recipe to make cheese or Italian versions. This one is a keeper!
Meghan
I just made these with coconut oil. They are pretty good. Sort of like a scone but not as dry. Actually put some strawberry fruit spread on it and vegan butter, nice alternative for my food allergies
Deanna Lewis
if you are allergic to egg can we use an egg substitute. I have been looking for a biscuit receipt that does not use eggs or milk product and is gluten friendly
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Deanna, some readers have tried flax eggs successfully. You may have slightly crumbly biscuits, though.
Mikiala
Iāve made these biscuits over a dozen times now. So good! And Iāve tried variations:
eggs & butter
eggs & coconut oil
1 egg replacer egg and 1 flax egg & butter
1 egg replacer egg and 1 flax egg & coconut oil
2 Flax eggs and butter/ coconut oil
And they all work! ā¤ļø
One time I made them and forgot the egg. This time they were crumbs but still tasty
Robynne
Will these work in a chicken and dumpling soup
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Robynne, You may be interested in this recipe for Chicken and Dumplings!
Sandy
Ugh. Crumbled like corn bread. Not much taste for biscuits & gravy. Sorry Maya but this is 1 star for me.
Brenda
Great recipe. Do you think they would work as a base for the breakfast casserole…as a low carb strata?
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Brenda, Sure! That sounds great!
Dianne
Really good. I added a little mozzarella cheese. We had these with your hamburger cabbage soup. Yummm.
Rachel
I made these biscuits but they came out very salty even though I used the required amount of sea salt. Should I use a quarter of a teaspoon instead? I couldn’t eat them as it was overwhelming.
Wholesome Yum M
Hi Rachel, I’m sorry these didn’t turn out as expected. Did you use salted butter? You may require less salt if you used salted butter in the dough.
Kate
I’m always looking for a good GF biscuit recipe – for 5 years, now – and I really liked this one! It’s not a ridiculous ingredient list, easy to form, quick to bake. in this case, I used palm shortening instead of butter or coconut oil, and I think it made the biscuits much more moist and kept them from flattening out quite so much. Very impressed!
Sanjiv
I make these all the time – thank you for the recipe! I find waiting for five minutes before scooping the dough on the cookie sheet works best – it keeps the dough from being too sticky to work with.
Thanks again!
Vicky
These looked delicious so I decided to make them. WOW, they are really good! I do like them slightly sweet, so I drizzled a tiny bit of honey on top with butter on the inside. Just soooooo good, thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Ja Van C Pruett
Are these suppose to raise?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Ja, these don’t raise much.
GKC
I made this recipe quite a while back & then lost the recipe! I made flattened rounds instead of biscuits & my husband & I thought the bread was quite good. It was easy & quick & I didnāt need a lot of extra ingredients (already have almond flour). I will definitely make this recipe again!
Serina Thompson
These look amazing! How long do you bake the biscuits for and at what temperature?
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Serina, check the recipe card above. You’ll want to bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Kelly
Taste amazing. Definitely curbs that craving for bread. My only problem is how dry they are. Any advise? I live in southern Arizona so there isnāt much humidity in the air. Tried splitting half almond flour and half coconut flour but that made them even more dry! Any advice on things to try would be great!
Wholesome Yum A
Hi Kelly, I’m not sure what went wrong here. You might have luck making larger biscuits, as the ones here are on the small side.
Tina
I would suggest adding maybe a tad more butter? When I use the largest of the eggs from a large egg dozen and just slightly more butter, they come out a little more moist.
Christina Mollman
I made these tonight, along with your bread. Thank you so much for your work on these recipes. I had to use coconut oil instead of butter. The result was biscuits! Simple, quick, and better than I imagined! I am trying the pizza dough next, but another night. These recipes are gifts.
Danielle Pfeifer
Thank you so much for posting this!
Iām inspired & looking forward to seeing more recipes from you!
Bete Primm
I have been making these biscuits for the past year since I gave up grains and I have to say that they are delicious and easy to make! Now, if you could give me advice on how to keep them from having that “cracked” look. I would love for them to be solid so they were easy to slice. I’m sure I’m not doing something right. Thanks!!!
Susie Ford
They were delicious!!! And soooooo easy!
Heather Shepherd
She had in one article- pack the dough right into the ice cream scoop to get a more solid biscuit. Hope that helps.
Vicki
Love this recipe, have it memorized. Easy and quick to make.
Tamar
Made these for dinner last night, and they turned out great! I made a couple substitutions and additions (always risky business, haha), and it still worked out. I used palm shortening instead of butter and baking soda/acv instead of baking powder. Also added nutritional yeast and garlic powder to make them super savory. The texture was really great, they held together wonderfully. With a ton of yeast and garlic, I couldn’t get a sense of the plain flavor. š but- with almond flour, butter, and salt, it’s hard to imagine that they wouldn’t be delicious plain. Thanks for the recipe! I’m looking forward to trying lots of variations.
Cindy
I halved the recipe in case they didn’t turn out. I should have made the full recipe. They were DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing. Biscuits are back on the menu!
Suzanne
Going to try these biscuits!
Editha
The best guilt free biscuit recipe Iāve ever baked…..thank you so much for sharing
Aly
Love these! I make 4 huge biscuits, split them and smother them in buttermilk chicken stew.
Blair Johnson
Making these now with everything but the bagel seasoning. Can’t wait to try!!
Carmen
Easy to bake and each biscuit was delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Carolyn
SO glad to have a way to get my biscuit/bread fix on Keto!! These were good. Thank you!! š
Malini
Which butter can we use for keto?
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Malini, I like to use this Butter. You can check out the Keto Low Carb Shopping List For Your Pantry for other items that I like to keep on hand.
Alicia
These are so good and easy to make.
Abbie
I found this recipe a couple months ago because of an elimination diet. I loved it as is. I also added an extra egg the next time for more protein and then a bit more flour. I like them with both butter and coconut oil. The next time I added ground flaxseed for the fiber. It was great too. This time I used ground flaxseed soaked in water (like suggested below) to replace the eggs (as per my diet for a few days). They are wonderful again – slightly drier and more crumbly, but excellent flavor and still wonderfully satisfying.
Abbie
I LOVE these biscuits! Very satisfying on a restricted diet.
Cris W.
Terrible! Wanted a healthier replacement for regular biscuits and these were barely edible. Really wished they were better!
Wholesome Yum
Hi Cris, sorry to hear that. Did you follow the recipe card exactly? The video at the bottom of the card makes a good visual guide as well.
Debra Bull
I made these biscuits and they looked as good as the picture showed and tasted even better! I really enjoyed them hot with a little bit of butter! Decadent! I gave one to my husband and then had to bag the rest of the biscuits and hide them away to keep him from eating them all!
Krisanne
Thanks for such a great easy recipe , I made mine with Almond Meal and turned out good, also I added some Parmesan and Italian herbs and they were yum.
Marvy
Super easy and delicious. I reduced the recipe to try it. Will definitely make more.
Joanna
Great recipe! Love how simple it is. My mom sent me a bag of almond flour and I wasn’t sure what to make. This took me 2 tries to get it right (honestly the 1st time I think I only added 1 egg) but it’s great to have an option like this when you’re avoiding gluten. I added cheddar cheese the second time and they came out delicious!
MT Raymond
Absolutely wonderful! Made Keto sausage gravy to team up with them….can you say YUMMY! Thank you
Roxann
These are SO GOOD! I added some shredded cheddar and a tsp of garlic powder. Even my husband loved these. At last, a Keto friendly biscuit recipe that is actually a keeper!
Susan Meyer
Biscuits were good. A teaspoon of sugar free syrup on one of them (with butter of course), makes a pretty good treat to take care of a sweet tooth…
Jennifer
Just made…started at 10:15 at night and can I just say YUMMMMM!!! They were so quick, easy and gave me that feel of real biscuits. Thinking of some sausage gravy now. My favorite breakfast!!!
Lori M
Not only were these easy to make, but they taste AMAZING! I tried adding a little italian seasoning and garlic powder to one of them and that was also yummy! I substituted Myokos vegan butter made from cashews and coconut and it was perfect. I will be making these regularly.
Emma J Rotella
Just made these biscuits. They were really good. They will be an added addition to my meal plans.
Harry Mossman
I used the recipe as a topping for chicken pot pie. It worked very well. Crumbly but I like rustic foods.
Polly
I was so excited about these “4 ingredient” biscuits as listed in the post because there was no dairy…until I got to the actual recipe and found ingredient #5, butter. With about 1/6th of the recipe being butter no wonder they get such rave reviews–and I have to agree! But dairy wreaks havoc with my sinuses so I will have to try coconut oil next time…
Han
Polly,
She specifically states that you can make them dairy free by using ghee or another dairy-free oil. She mentions it in her article as well as the actual recipe.
Kristi
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I have made these biscuits several times and they always come out great!
Jill
I am on day 5 of my Keto Diet and I was craving a hearty breakfast biscuit sandwich. This recipe was just what I needed! I prepared them the way I would normal biscuits. Mixed the almond flour, baking powder and salt. Then I added cold butter (which I grated into the flour mix using a cheese grater) and mixed it into the flour until it had a grainy texture (like brown sugar) and would pack together. I then pre-scrambled the egg before adding it. Gently mixed and divided. This left little pockets of butter when cooking that made it perfect for my tastes!
I used a different brand of almond flour and for me this recipe yielded 8 biscuits. So for me, the net carbs were 2 per biscuit!! I topped it with bacon, egg and cheese. Itās perfect and hit the spot for my carb craving!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Miss Mam
Love these! I can eat, enjoy and not worry about weight gain! Yes!!!
Aisha
One thing I miss since switching to keto is biscuits and gravy. After trying the cream cheese pancakes I decided to try these biscuits. To be honest, I was very skeptical. I followed the instructions with the exception of adding 2tbsp of swerve gles to sweeten them up (because I love sweet biscuits) which I dissolved first in a very small amount of boiling water to better incorporate. I got a total of 9 biscuits but probably because I didnāt have a cookie scoop. I used a spoon so it altered the size (and calories).
They turned out heavenly!
Next time I will probably use unsalted butter because I did find these salty much like some of the other comments suggested. I used fine sea salt and Kerry gold salted butter.
This is going to be a weekend breakfast staple. Thanks so much š
Lauren
I love these biscuits and make them every week practically.
I have substituted 1/2 cup of hemp seed meal and think it works well.
Might be helping them hold together, because I have had no crumbly or dry issues.
Thanks so much for this recipe.
Bob Wolf
My biscuits came out flat but they are delicious I make them with ground up sausage instead of bacon more tasting with sausage. Would like them to be more fluffy. How can I make them more fluffy? Thank you.
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Bob, make sure to watch the video to see how to make them more fluffy.
Ashley
Absolutely delicious! My whole family loved these. The first time I made them they were a bit dry for my liking, so I added about 2 tsp of gelatin. The batch with the gelatin held together and were a little more moist. So yummy! Thanks!
Felicia
Hi there, so far I have made all your low carb pancake recipes and love them! I was wondering if this recipe would work as the topping for a chicken pot pie recipe? Before doing keto I would use a biscuit recipe and bake it over the filling. Thanks!!
Wholesome Yum
Hi Felicia, I don’t think this recipe would work but my fathead dough crust might (pressed thinly). Let me know if you try it!
Tom
Great tasting and so easy to make! A great scone like texture, but a bit too crumbly to have with a burger. So in my second batch I added 2 tsp of Xanthan gum, and they were more pliable.
Diana
life changing!! soo yummy
Margarita
Good recipes.
Roberta Shatto
Today I made the almond flour biscuits. The recipe said it made 12 I only got ten. Ran the recipe through Carb Manager it came up 7 carbs for 10 it had 5 carbs for 12. The recipe has that they are 2 carbs!
They are delicious but way off on the carbs. Why please is that? Thank you so very much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Roberta, The difference is likely some rounding difference in a certain ingredient, most commonly almond flour. I cannot vouch for or troubleshoot 3rd party apps, but can confirm that the nutrition info on the recipe card is correct – it comes from the USDA Food Database.
Melanie
These were very easy to make and they came together easily. I didnāt have any issues. It gave me 7 nice size biscuits. My only question would be how to make them sweet? I thought the biscuit itself had a sour twang to it. Would still make again, but would prefer sweet.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Melanie, The size will depend on how big you make them. They shouldn’t be sour at all. Did you by chance use baking soda instead of baking powder? That could be it. If you wanted sweet ones you could use my almond flour cookie recipe and form them into biscuits instead of flat cookies.
Clare
I also found them a bit sour. I used gluten-free baking powder. I was hoping for a more sweet taste.
Wholesome Yum
Hi Clare, sorry to hear that! You may try a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit extract next time, or try my almond flour cookie recipe and form biscuits instead.
Cat
Ummm…I can. not. stop. eating these biscuits! AND, my picky boyfriend who does not like gluten or dairy-free baked goods, LOVED THEM. I used Miyokos butter if anyone is interested. I also did not have any issues with the dough holding together, it worked just fine. Thank you so much for this recipe, it could not have been easier or more delicious.
Koren Adams
These biscuits were very good. I enjoyed them.
Edna
Hola!! Nos encantĆ³ la receta! SĆŗper ricos!! Y bajos en carbohidrato!!
Diane White
The biscuits were awesome. You have to handle gently so they dont fall apart. I was wondering if you added a small amount of erythritol gum to the recipe if it would stay together more? So far I”ve tried several of your recipes and they all are fantastic. Sure helps with the dieting. Does the 20 carbs a day go for men and women both? Thanks for all your hard work to bring these recipes to all of us
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Diane! Erythritol is a sweetener, are you thinking xanthan gum? If so, yes, you can add about 1/4 tsp or 1/2 tsp to the dry mixture if you want them to be more chewy or sturdy. I’m glad you like the recipes! You can calculate your macros using the keto macro calculator here. In general carb limits are about the same for men and women, though overall macros can vary, and the amount of carbs that would keep you in ketosis and/or facilitate weight loss will vary from person to person (not necessarily due to gender, but other factors, such as insulin resistance).
Gillian
These biscuits are amazing!
Just have one issue, they all have cracks at the top when they come out of the oven.
Any idea why?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gillian, I’m glad you like them. Totally normal for them to have cracks.
Winky Lee
Could I add Erythritol to make it with sweet favour? How much should I add?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Winky, You’d need other modifications to the recipe to make it sweet, because adding too much erythritol would make the dough too dry. I can’t say what ratio to use without testing. If you want to sweeten them, an easier option might be a super concentrated sweetener like pure stevia extract or pure monk fruit extract, because with those you’d only be adding a tiny amount and not affect the consistency.
Gypsy
Can I use regular baking soda?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
No, you need baking powder.
David
I added a 1/4 cup of buttermilk seemed to be a little more moist. Of course I use buttermilk a lot.
Shelby
Did you use buttermilk instead of the called for butter or in addition to?
Scott
Is it possible to use this dough for dumplings i.e. chicken and dumplings?
Every recipe that I have found for dumplings calls for tapioca starch, But I only want almond flour.
Oh and I do love these biscuits.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Scott, No, not this recipe, they will fall apart. But I do have a low carb chicken and dumplings recipe here.
Dolly Ocasio-Huertas
Made this last night and they were amazing!!!! I added garlic powder, parm cheese, cheddar cheese, and italian seasoning…..and oh my Red Lobster goodness!! They tasted just like the Red Lobster biscuits!! My son could not stopping them! Making more tonight, thank you.
Donna
All I can say is that I am in love with this recipe. These biscuits were so delicious I added rosemary and topped them with a splash of Kerry gold butter and WOW! I made them to go with my turkey sausage and gravy and they held up nicely. Thank you so much for posting this recipe Iām gluten intolerant and live a keto lifestyle and this recipe will be a big part of my mealsā¤ļø
Dolly Ocasio-Huertas
I was so excited that I jumped to the recipe first.
Have a wonderful Tuesday.
Dolly
Nancy
Oh, my! These Paleo Almond Flour biscuits are superb! They have a buttery taste and a flakey texture, and I feel good after eating them, as I can’t eat gluten!
Cindy
I just made these biscuits, I did use the almond meal from Trader Joeās, I will try regular almond flour next time! Mine were way to salty though! Has anyone else said they were salty?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cindy, It’s possible that your salt grains are a different size and thus that made them too salty, or your palate is just different from mine. Feel free to reduce salt next time if you’d like.
Helen
We found them too salty too! Might be because we used salted butter (but ingredient list didn’t say otherwise so we went with salted) and added the amount indicated for salt. Next time I’ll just use less salt. They were delicious nonetheless!
Melissa Shirley
I made these with Parmesan and cheddar cheese several times! They are great! Thanks for the recipe!
Andrea
These were excellent. I was fully prepared for them to be dry and awful, but they were really really good. I would love a follow up recipe with different flavors like garlic, jalapeno, cheese etc.
J
These were delicious! I halved the recipe and added garlic salt in place of some of the salt. A little crumbly, but that may have been due to over-cooking since I halved the recipe. Otherwise wonderfully buttery and tasty š
Teresa
These were wonderful !! Omg. Glad I found this !!!!!!!!! Ty
Kendra
I’m new-ish to Keto. Quick question for you….everytime I do anything with my Organic Almond flour it ends up being super high in calories – like this one when I re-calculated with my own ingredients. Are there different types of Almond flour that I am missing out on that are way lower in carbs? For example, for only 1 tablespoon mine says that’s 3 carbs!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kendra, Almond flour should not have 3 carbs per tablespoon. Are there other ingredients in the one you use? The one I use is linked on the recipe card above.
Doug
I have made these three times and they come out great. Highly recommend them if you are on Keto
Kathy Andon
Thought these were great! Wayy better than the fathead dough. Would definitely make again. Used them for biscuits and gravy
Margaret Shoemaker
I made this biscuit recipe and I loved it. First time trying almond flour. I plan on making much more. Delicious!!! Thank you for this recipe and keep ’em coming.
Angela Moss
How much sodium are in a serving? Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Angela, Sorry, I don’t have the information but feel free to enter the ingredients you use into an online calculator.
Lisa Fockler
Hi, I’m want to make these biscuits today but
I don’t have any parchment paper! Can I cook them on a silicone muffin pan? Will they stick to the pan and if so, how can I keep them from sticking? Thank you in advance.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lisa, Yes, you can do that! You could grease it just in case, but silicone usually doesn’t stick too much either.
Lisa
Thank you so much!! They’re in the oven right now! I just can’t wait to try them and also get my daughters opinion on these biscuits!
Jennifer
I seriously feel like I just cheated on my Keto diet…. these are THAT good! Hot buttered biscuits with a tiny drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup…. It’s gonna be a great day. Thanks for sharing this fab recipe! Can’t wait to try it savory with cheddar and jalapenos.
Theresa
These are delicious! I wanted something to dip my egg! Needs no butter or anything!
Paige Torres-Toujouse
I was a skeptic because I thought I used these ingredients before for a biscuit before but I was wrong these are as good as you can get in a gluten-free version. Thanks for figuring this super easy/limited ingredient recipe out for us!!
Avery Young
I’ve searched for a dairy free passable biscuit recipe my whole family will eat. Everyone agreed these were two thumbs up. Besides being yummy, being so fast to come together is a big bonus when you have hungry kids! Thank you. I used coconut oil, but next time I am going to try lard!
Alesha
This recipe looks great! Can’t wait to try them. I was thinking of adding some buttermilk powder to them. I’d like them to have that southern stye biscuit taste. Do you think this will be a good addition? Any thoughts?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Alesha! That sounds delicious! You might need to reduce the almond flour by the same amount as the buttermilk powder (not too much) so that the dough isn’t too dry to come together.
Anita
I made this and they smoked up my kitchen. They weren’t burnt or even close. What did I do incorrect?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Anita, If they were not burnt, this sounds like an issue with your oven rather than the recipe. Sorry to hear that!
Orry
Did you use MCT oil? I find that if I use MCT oil in anything it smokes up the whole oven.
Darren
Easy, tasty, and versatile. Thanks for the great recipe.
Jennie
Wow, I’m usually a skeptic when it comes to making low carb recipes because I love carbs. These biscuits were amazing and so easy to make! I like mine more savory so I added parmesan cheese, white truffle paste and Trader Joe’s Umami seasoning. Holy moly, I can’t stop eating them!
Nina
Hands down, the best low carb bread/biscuit recipe I’ve ever tried. Its so easy to make, and the texture is awesome, so buttery and crumbly! I used 1/2 regular butter and 1/2 garlic butter and the result is HEAVENLY.
Gloria
I whipped my egg whites first, gives a lighter bread, I think. I whip in the yolks, then the warm, but not melted butter. I added grated cheddar since you mentioned they could fall apart. Perfect accompaniment to our soup!
Bev
I love biscuits and had perfected a sweet potato recipe I found on Cooking Light.with the New Year, I’ve decided to cut back on sugar and carbs. Found your recipe online and tried it this morning. I had to hold back from inhaling three. They were delicious and low in carbs and sugar… a win-win! Thanks
Oxana Joe
It tastes like pure soda, although it cooked through.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Oxana, Did you use baking soda? This recipe uses baking powder, not baking soda, and they are not interchangeable.
Cristie
I made this mistake and I have no idea how! I was like wow what a horrible aftertaste what is that?!? LOL I will try again once I go back to the store. All the reviews are great, but so glad I saw this or never would have figured it out!
Claudia
Thanks for the recipe! But please stop calling ghee “dairy free.” It still comes from cow milk and still makes me just as sick. Calling ghee dairy free confuses people and results in some people accidentally consuming dairy.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Claudia, I hope you like the recipe. I listed both ghee and coconut oil as options for people who have dairy issues. On the recipe card, there isn’t space to write a lengthy explanation about ghee and dairy, and as stated in my site terms, ultimately it’s the responsibility of each person to know their own dietary needs. Many people who have issues with dairy are able to tolerate ghee, since most of the commonly problematic proteins are removed during the clarifying process. Of course this isn’t enough for everyone, and if it isn’t for you, coconut oil is also given as an option. I absolutely support doing what is best for you!
Steve erlandsen
Am getting ready to make some biscuits for supper
Vanessa Gregory
I absolutely love these..added a sprinkling of Italian herb,parmesan and cayenne pepper on the too before baking oh and cheddar cheese in the mix. I love them,thank you so much..these will be my go to biscuits or scones as we call them.
Tamie
I just made these and they are really delicious. I found out two years ago that I have a gluten allergy and finally got around to baking a bread product that is GF. I had one with butter and jam – delicious. Because I wasn’t sure how they would turn out, I fixed half of the recipe and clicked on metric and weighed everything out. In the future I will experiment because I would like to add shredded cheddar cheese and perhaps finely chopped veggies, like spinach to add a variety to my weekly menu.
John Balogna
This looks amazing and the possibilities are endless. I’m going to add some sweet corn extract and see if I can get something close to a corn muffin.
Jen
Oh my goodness, absolutely fantastic!! I have been low carb for 3 1/2 years and have never found even a decent ” bread type” recipe. These are outstanding. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
John Slavik
I always follow the directions to a tee when I try a new recipe and I wouldn’t change a thing about these. They turned out awesome. I’d eat this even if I wasn’t a diabetic.
Danielle
These were delicious! I cooked them for a little longer than called for and they turned out amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Portia Hargrove
I made the biscuits the came out good. I just donāt like the almond taste.
Marilyn
These are so good! We have a local gluten free biscuit place. Now I’ve gotten this craving for biscuits, and I was using a recipe that called for sour cream, but they were turning out just like baked dough. These are much more like regular biscuits. I did add a bit of tapioca flour, and next time I might add a bit of ground coconut, but the ground almonds work! I also added a small spoonful of honey and a pinch of salt. Thank you so much.
Pam
I added 1 tbsp honey 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1 tsp lemon zest 1 tsp orange zest 1/2 cup sliced almonds 2 tabs orange juice then make as per recipe. Absolutely amazing.
Jodie
I just made these and they turned out extremely dry. I even had my spouse read the recipe to make sure I didnt miss anything. I ended up adding an extra egg, another 1/4cup of butter and 3tbsp of water. They baked nice and stayed together good but they tasted really dry & crumbly. Any suggestions?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jodie, They shouldn’t be dry, did you use the same ingredients? Did you check the video to see what part went differently?
Sarah N.
I was skeptical because Iām not a huge fan of almond flour, but these were AWESOME! I added 1/2 tsp of stevia and they taste just like Bisquick biscuits! Thank you for the recipe!
Michele MacDougall
Made these on the weekend as I am doing Keto. OMG! They are fantastic and super easy to make. Thanks so much for the fantastic recipe. Passed it along to a few people who are also doing Keto and they also agreed. Just like the real thing. Will be making a batch every Saturday.
Timothy Chisholm
Excellent! and very easy to make. I put everything in the food processor. I used half almond flour half arrow root flour. I didnāt have gluten free baking powder so I added equal amount of baking soda. I used raw butter solid. Turned out great texture and flavor were great. Will be making more. Thanks!
Marilyn
I’m trying to reply to Timothy, not sure if I clicked the right button, but do you find the solid butter gives a better texture, like when making a pie crust?
Tiffany
OMG!! How can something so easy be so good! I used unblanched almond flour and the still came out great. I did some plain, a few with rosemary, a few with rosemary and cheddar move out the way cheddar bay! I scrambled up some eggs and veggies.. voilĆ” breakfast for dinner in no time
Saundra
Almost gave 4 stars bc of the overwhelming almond flavor but realized thatās exactly what this recipe is so in reality they came out perfect for almond flour biscuits. Really nice texture, might add some cheddar next time to cut the almond flavor. I used melted ghee instead of coconut oil!
Shawndra
Can I use regular baking powder instead of gluten free?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shawndra, Yes, any kind will work. Most are naturally gluten-free anyway but I mention it for those that need it.
Jenny
my husband and I have been doing keto for about six weeks. I am loving it. but today I really craved pasta or rice or some kind of comfort food. so I decided to make these biscuits. and wow! they really did the trick! my husband loved them. we each had two….splurged a bit. but I will be making these often. and I am anxious to try some of your other recipes. thank you!!!
Rich
THESE ARE GREAT! You’re so awesome! Im going to experiment with this. I’M thinking jalapeno… any suggestions?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
They are so many options, Rich! I hope you like them!
Lynn Olszewski
Can I substitute whole wheat flour?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lynn, I haven’t tried these with wheat. I’m not sure if it would work, but they would no longer be low carb, gluten-free, or paleo.
David William Perry
just tried your almond four biscuits. AMAZING! Can’t wait to play with added ingredients – maybe lemon, lemon zest and stevia for a sweet tea biscuit?
Deborah
These are delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for another great keto recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked them, Deborah! Thank you!
Jeanette Clayton
Can I add some erythritol to sweeten these without adding anything else as in liquid?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jeanette, No, they would be too dry so you’d need to make other changes. You might like these shortbread cookies that have similar ingredients but are sweet.
Jeanette Clayton
Thank you so much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You are welcome, Jeanette!
Marilyn
You must be using a SMALL icecream scoup. I only got 6 biscuits out of this.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I actually use a large cookie scoop, Marilyn. I hope that helps!
Lynn
These are so yummy! Thanks Maya, keep them coming!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You are welcome, Lynn!
Q
I tried this with half the measurments to test it out and it went horribly wrong. I love cooking and spend some time every single day reading/watching recipes, but Iām terrible at it.. and this makes me depressed š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Sorry to hear you had issues with it. I’m happy to help, but it’s hard to say what went wrong without more information. Did you watch the video? Did you use all the same ingredients? At what point did it start to look different?

I halved it and it turned out perfectly. I used a smallish egg because I wanted a drier biscuit texture. Also with quick breads (biscuits, pancakes, muffins) you only want to stir about 20 times, perhaps even fewer. It’s okay if you still see some flour in the batter. If you overmix the batter gets too heavy. When using almond flour in recipes, I grind my own almonds in a coffee grinder (although I just killed mine and had to use the food processor this morning). I find storebought almond flour is ground too fine and if I grind it myself, it gives a better texture. Same with ground coconut vs. coconut flour.
Sarah Williams
This is the PERFECT recipe!! Super easy, speedy quick, & amazingly versatile! I’ve made it with bacon grease and coconut oil when I was out of butter, and both turned out perfect! Throw in some savory seasonings, or make them with coconut oil & add a little stevia or monk fruit sweetener and a dash of vanilla, and then flatten them out and you have cookies!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Sarah! All of those versions sound delicious!
Susan Lecerf
What a great idea about converting to a cookie recipe! Made these biscuits as directed except for the time. They turned out delicious!! I ended up adding 5 minutes to the time. May be my oven but at 15 minutes they still had moist batter inside. I added fresh rosemary and grated garlic. I also used Ghee since Iām dairy intolerant and I have no issues with ghee. I like the buttery flavor so I opted for that instead of coconut oil this time. I used my tsp measuring spoon with a heaping dollop of dough and the size was perfect. Going to use this to make focaccia bread too. Funny, but I LOVE almond flour and use it to bread fish/chicken etc. Thank you for a great recipe. Iāve been very disappointed with bread recipes Iāve been trying. Iām GF, DF & Keto. Iām looking forward to trying some of your other recipes
Linda
My sister made them for me this morning. They were great and tasted great. My only issue was they were very crumbly. I couldnāt slice it open like a regular biscuit to fill with eggs and bacon or jam. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I’m glad you like them, Linda! You can try adding a little xanthan gum next time – about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp – if you want them to be more sturdy.
Shaden Tavakoli
My sister & I are both keto and this recipe is a quick & easy STAPLE in our diets!!! We chat weekly about how we just prepped another batch in our kitchens. It goes with EVERYTHING! Thanks for throwing this recipe up there. Now if only there was a way to make butter biscuits using my big bag of coconut flour that’s sitting in my pantry haha…. that mystery is yet to be solved.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Shaden! Have a great day!
Cathy Skach
I have been utilising your recipes and they have change my husband’s and my lives! Thank you so much! Please keep the new recipes coming!
I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes I adapted using the Almond Flour Biscuit recipe to sub out the regular biscuits called for. I hope you try it – do die for!!!

Janet
Hi I’m trying so hard to find a good biscuit recipe and I did find this one and made some yesterday but I don’t have almond flour I used tapioca flour and they are hard and not very tasty. I found them bitter But I’m having a hard time finding almond flour. So is there away that I can make these with better luck with tapioca flour? I do also have arrowroot flour and brown rice flour, all of them gluten free. I’m really trying to find something that I can make a hamburger bun. I would love to have a hamburger. One of the only things I can have. Or would brown rice flour work and taste good??
Please if you can help me at all I sure would appreciate it.
Any recipes I would appreciate I can’t have yeast or sugar and dairy I wish some one could come up with a substitute for cheese that tastes like cheese at least close to it.
Thank you
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Janet, Tapioca and almond flour are very, very different, so I would never recommend swapping one for the other. I wouldn’t expect this recipe to turn out well if using tapioca. What are your goals for these biscuits? Paleo, gluten-free, low carb, keto, or some combination of these? Arrowroot, tapioca and brown rice flour would all be unsuitable for low carb or keto, but are fine for gluten-free diets. Arrowroot and tapioca would also be paleo, but rice flour would not be. I haven’t tested this recipe with any of those flours, but I’m sure it would need other modifications to make it work. Sorry. I hope you’ll get the chance to try this recipe with the almond flour – I think it’s really delicious!
Lori
I made these this morning they were gritty and bland and they were flat. I used the super fine flour. Is there something I need to do differently?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lori, It’s hard to say what happened without being in the kitchen with you. They shouldn’t be gritty with finely ground almond flour. The one I used is linked on the recipe card. Did you check the video to see if yours went differently at some point?
Michelle Smith Rapoza
Hi, I have been looking for a recipe just like this where I can add a little cheese without the heavy cream or cream cheese other Keto recipes have. My question is, I do not have a cookie scoop. Suggestions on what to use instead? Maybe a 1/4 measuring cup? Thank you.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Michelle, You can just use a spoon and form the cookie dough into balls with your hands, then flatten with your palm.
Terry Warnken
I would love the dumpling low carb or keto recipe
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Terry, It’s coming this month! š
Bentlei
The biscuits look great but there is a bitter or weird taste as we ate toward the center? I carefully followed the recipe but either the baking soda or something gave it a weird taste. PLEASE HELP
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Bentlei, The issue is that you used baking soda. It needs to be baking POWDER. Baking soda will definitely create that strange taste. Hope you’ll try them again with baking powder.
Rebecca
I have a few questions for you. Iāll put them at the bottom. Iāve made these before, and they were delicious, but I was wondering if could make some changes.
1. Could I substitute a blend of nut flours that includes coconut? Would I need to add extra liquid to account for the coconut flour? Could I add a little more butter or a few tbsp of almond milk?
2. If I want to double these in size, say 2 tbsp instead of 1, how much longer would I need to bake them? Can I bake them without flattening them or do you think they will fall apart?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rebecca, I’m so glad you liked the biscuits when you made them! Regarding your questions:
1. I don’t recommend substituting a blend containing coconut flour due to the absorbency, like you said. You can definitely try, but yes, you’d need extra wet ingredients to account for it. Without testing or knowing the ratio in the blend, it’s hard to know what else to add and how much.
2. I haven’t done the larger size, but you can definitely make them bigger and bake them for longer. You don’t have to flatten them, but the thicker they are, the longer they’ll take to bake through inside. If they start to brown on top before they are done inside, you’ll need to tent the top with foil to prevent burning (or use lower oven temperature to begin with, with longer baking time).
Rebecca
Thanks for the reply. I found a conversion table. I might see what a difference subbing in a few tbsp of coconut flour might do to change the consistency. Thereās probably a table for how much extra liquid it needs as well. Either way, Iāll probably still use this recipe. I had to put in some coconut oil last time when I ran out of butter, so I wonder if that changed anything.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
There are some conversions, but it’s almost always recipe specific and requires some experimentation. Hope you find a way that works for you!
Rebecca
So, I thought I would update. I substituted 1/4 cup of coconut flour blended with arrowroot and an extra egg for the almond flour. It ended up being more moist, so I didnāt have to pack it together. I used all butter this time, and I made them bigger. I cooked them for 25 minutes and they turned out pretty moist. I think they expanded a bit, maybe because of the arrowroot. I didnāt notice much of a flavor difference. Thanks for the help.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thanks for sharing with us!
Beverly
Do you have to use gluten free powder?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Beverly, Any kind of baking powder will work. Most are actually naturally gluten-free, but it’s not a requirement.
Dawn
I made these yesterday. They are great for me! I divided the batch in half and added cheese to one half and a very little bit of sweetener and cinnamon to the other. Both are so good. Iām so glad I found this. Recipies like this helps me keep the low carb lifestyle and the weight loss going.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy that you liked them, Dawn! Have a great day!
Melanie Ng
This was amazing! I just made these this afternoon when I got home. I halved the recipe and used a little less salt since I was not sure if I would use these biscuits for sweet or savory. I ended up trying one of the biscuits with the Pumpkin Butter from Trader Joe’s. SO GOOD! Thanks for the recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy that you liked the biscuits, Melanie! Have a great day!
Veronica Evans
Keto biscuits are very good. I cut the recipe in half. I made exactly 6. Thank you so much. Is there a similar recipe to adjust this as an almond cookie?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I’m glad you liked them, Veronica! Yes – here is the recipe for almond flour cookies.
Amy
Can we bake it like PITA bread, at least as flat?
We sure appreciate the wealth of information. Being in the hospital 8 days, it was alarming to observe the spikes of my sugar.
Just discovered you & hoping to follow you.
Thank you.
Diabetic
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Amy, You can flatten them if you’d like, which I do sometimes for sandwiches. However, they are more like a buttery, crumbly biscuit texture than a chewy flatbread.
Mary
Yes!! Finally a recipe that is 1) easy 2) doesnāt use five million ingredients and 3) is delicious!!! Thank you!!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the biscuits, Mary! Have a great day!
Winta Heath
Could you I use these as dumplings or will they disintegrate?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Winta, Sorry, they will disintegrate. But, I have a dumplings recipe coming up this fall!
Gwenivere Fuller
Dumplings? Oh my, thank you! This recipe is amazing with duck eggs!
Christine
Will there be a big difference if I used egg whites instead?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Christine, Yes, the texture will suffer. Egg whites alone without the yolk will likely make the result more dense and possibly rubbery.
Allie
Would I be able to use regular baking powder in these (not gluten free)?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Allie, Yes, you can! Many baking powders are naturally gluten-free anyway, I just mention it just in case for those that have issues with gluten. Any kind works, though.
Kim
Iām making these for our tailgate this weeeknd, however I only have kosher salt and Himalayan salt as well as regular table salt. Can I use any of these?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yes, you can use any of those, Kim. Thanks for stopping by!
Aletheia Lange
Wow! These are fantastic! They taste better than regular, unhealthy biscuits. These bread recipes are making my life so much better and easier being on Keto. I was going to put butter on them out of the oven, but I didnāt need to because they already tasted buttery. These will definitely be on my go to list for recipes. I plan on freezing some so they keep longer.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You made my day, Aletheia! Please come back again soon!
Sarah
These were so good & easy & perfect! We’re starting low carb lifestyle, but not dairy free so I added a 1/4 cup shredded cheddar. First time using almond flour so the almond flavor was a little strong for the kids (but perfect for me!). I made 13 good sized biscuits (cutting the carbs down to 1.35 a biscuit per my brand choice and calculations) to pair with a no bean chilli (9g net carbs). Overall, dinner was a major hit tonight – thank you! I wasnt sure how I could pull off chili without cornbread in this household!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy everyone liked the biscuits, Sarah! Thanks for stopping by! Please come back again soon!
Ginger McWilliams
Can this dough be frozen before baking or put in the refrigerator?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ginger, I haven’t tried freezing it. I wouldn’t recommend refrigerating because the baking powder reacts right away and they won’t rise at all if you bake them later. It’s better to just bake them and you can store them in the fridge or freezer, then reheat.
Stacey
Too much butter for me. Can’t stomach them at all. Disappointed š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Stacey, They are definitely buttery biscuits. You might like one of my other low carb bread recipes better.
Lesley Ruth Stewart
Easy recipe! Awesome biscuits!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love to hear that, Leslley! Thanks for stopping by!
Diana
The idea is great and technically the biscuits turned out fantastic!
But I think itās too much baking powder. Still I cannot eat it, itās one of the worst experiences I ever had with something I cooked. It felt like brushing my teeth, it turned out bitter and my tongue got very irritated, it took about an hour to regain my senses.
I have used organic baking soda and I have used it extensively until now, so the only problem I see is the quantity. Maybe the calculation in grams was not correct? I used grams.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diana, The problem was the baking soda! It is NOT the same as baking powder. š Using baking soda would definitely make these taste bitter and just like you described. Hope you’ll try the recipe with baking powder next time!
Kysha
Can you use these biscuits in chicken and dumplings?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kysha, I haven’t tried but I’m sure you can!
Margie
Biscuits were good! I just started Keto a week ago, am loving how I feel so far. Less brain fog and after I got through the conversion to burning fat in the beginning, I have more energy!!
I added shredded sharp cheddar and a little garlic powder in about half of these, those are good too. The recipe is a keeper. Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Margie! Please come back again soon!
Laura
Used paleo flour and added garlic and Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese to have with spaghetti squash, such a basic biscuit with so many ways to change it up! Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am glad you liked them, Laura! Thanks for stopping by!
Heidi
These are absolutely fabulous. They are tender and versatile and a great alternative to traditional breads.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked the biscuits, Heidi! Have a great day!
Linda
My husband and daughter LOVED this. Sadly, I did not. And I wanted to so much! Almond flour has a strong, distinct flavor (to me) and so thatās all I could taste. An almond flour-flavored biscuit. Still rated a 5 because they easily made 12 biscuits for me and the consistency was great. Will make again for family!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Linda, I’m glad your family liked them, and sorry to hear that you didn’t. Did you by chance use almond meal instead of finely ground, blanched almond flour? That is a lot more almond-y than the finely ground, blanched kind. Otherwise, hope you’ll find another recipe you like better! There are lots of other bread recipes in the recipe index.
SP
Baked this almond biscuits today. I added some cranberries and pumpkin seeds and they taste great! Thank your very much for the recipe.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I love that you added cranberries and pumpkin seeds!
Lynne Dell'Amico
These were incredible! much more successful than my attempts at the keto bread or bagels. nice breakfast on the go. thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so glad you liked the biscuits, Lynne! Thanks for stopping by!
Janet Adey
Haha I was looking for biscuit recipes, not til after they were cooked I remembered that biscuits in USA is not biscuits in the UK . I was looking for cookies but my husband is eating them anyway!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Janet, Sorry about the confusion! I’m glad your husband still liked them. I do have lots of cookie recipes here.
Missy
Delicious! I enjoyed one plain then spread a bit of strawberry jam on one for my husband and he loved it. He said they were good but a bit salty. Could I cut the salt done to 1/4 tsp and get the same consistency? Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Missy! I’m glad you and your husband liked them. The salt amount is for a savory/salty biscuit, so you can definitely reduce it if you want to have them with something sweet, like jam. The consistency won’t change if you reduce the salt, since it’s such a small amount compared to the rest of the ingredients to begin with.
Dwayne McNeil
Why when I ask for low carb bread in a bread machine do you give me biscuits?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Dwayne, I’m not sure what you mean by “ask for”, but you can make this low carb bread in a bread machine. Hope you like it!
Kelli
How many biscuits does this recipe make?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kelli, It depends how big you make them but with the cookie scoop I got 12.
Faye
I can only ever make about 6-8 biscuits with this recipe. The one time I made 8, they were tiny! They are delicious though! I love them!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Faye, The number of biscuits will depend on the size you make them. I’m glad you like them!
Crystal
Loved them! Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Crystal!
Mike Stephenson
Is per serving 1 biscuit?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Mike, Yes, it is!
Joan Erickson
Absolutely the BEST almond flour biscuit ANYWHERE!!
You just made our low carb life DELICIOUS!! They go from biscuits to shortcake in a heartbeat!
Thank you!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Joan!
Shelly
Has anyone had any luck with using any type of egg substitute? I seem to have light egg allergies so Iām trying to avoid eggs but Iāve used this recipe before and loved it with eggs. I would love to find a way to use this recipe with an egg substitute .
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shelly, I haven’t tried that yet. It might work with these. Please let me know how it goes if you try!
Rebecca
Iām sorry but the biscuits tasted dry and insipid.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rebecca, Sorry that they were not what you expected. It’s hard to say what went wrong without being in the kitchen with you or hearing specifics. Check the video on the recipe card – did one of your steps look different? This is also a “basic” recipe that can easily be modified to add herbs or spices for different flavors.
Shani
Has anyone tried making these with avocado oil?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Shani, I have not but it would probably work.
Jude Mathers
Has anyone made these into a sweeter version with stevia? Wondering whether to try it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jude, I have not. Let me know how it goes if you try. If you do, I’d recommend a concentrated stevia (not a stevia blend with filler), so that the consistency of the batter stays the same.
Joshua
In the nutritional information is says there is 1g of sugar, just curious, where are you getting that from? If this is correct, then I am not counting some sugar that I should be.
-Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Joshua, Almonds do contain a tiny bit of natural sugar so it’s coming from that.
Stacia
Excellent! Definitely not light and fluffy like traditional biscuits, but very full of flavor. My main complaint is I want 2 or 3 which is not possible on my diet due to high fat content.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am happy you liked them, Stacia! Please come back soon!
Claudia
Hi ! Can I use a blend of flours? All I have is coconut and macadamia flour. Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Claudia, You can just use the macadamia flour instead of the almond flour. Don’t add any coconut flour, that would be too dry for this recipe.
Darleen
Can I substitute coconut flour for almond flour?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Darleen, No, sorry. I’m working on a different recipe for coconut flour biscuits, so if you join the newsletter you’ll be notified once it’s ready!
Teresa Barat
Lovely recipe, but please donāt suggest ghee for non dairy because ghee is made from milk fat. Teresa
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Teresa, You are absolutely right. I offer both ghee and coconut oil as options depending on dietary needs. Some people who are lactose-intolerant are able to tolerate ghee since the milk proteins are removed. Others are not, and they can use coconut oil. Feel free to use what works for you!
Holly
I thought the fat count of 15 grams was high .. so I entered the recipe in My Fitness Pal and for 1 biscuit I think it was 8.7 grams and the calorie count was different too ? Yikes Iām confused
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Holly, My nutrition info comes straight from the USDA Food Database, which is more reliable than online calculators that can have submissions from anyone. It will vary a bit based on the brand you have, but not quite by that much. Most likely one of the ingredients had the incorrect amounts listed. You can check the nutrition info I use for individual ingredients in my low carb food list, which has data from the USDA.
Barbara
These biscuits are truly delicious. My family LOVE them.
I make them with salted butter, so they are actually only 4 ingredients!
I also experimented and added 1/2 cup grated old cheddar cheese to the batter. Oh my goodness, sooo yummy!
Thank you so much for this life-changing recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you loved them! Have a great day, Barbara!
Toni
Thank you so much for this easy and delicious recipe!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You are so welcome, Toni! Have a great day!
Sara Elizabeth Feavearyear
Done this recipe with whole almonds I blended and butter Delicious
The got a bag of organic blanched almond fine flour and used coconut butter totally different but Delicious
Thank you so much for this easy and addicting recipe
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked it, Sara!
Socorro Brown
My biscuits did not rise. Looked more like a puffy cookie. I followed the directions.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi there, Sorry they didn’t do what you expected! Low carb flours don’t rise as much as wheat does, these are more of a dense biscuit that rises just a little. If they were like a cookie, they were probably flattened too much to begin with. I hope you still liked the taste!
Natalie
Well…WOW!!!! The biggest challenge I have had woth reducing carbs and sugar in my house has been bread and cake. This recipie is super easy and turned out amazing!!!! You are my new guru!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy to hear that, Natalie! Thanks for stopping by!
Lauren
These look awesome! But I am so confused; in the title, headline, and elsewhere you specifically state there are 4 ingredients, but there are 5 lol.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lauren! Most people don’t count salt as an ingredient š I hope you like them! Thanks for stopping by!
Carolyn P.
I made these for breakfast and they were great! I can’t wait to experiment with various add ins and spices.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Carolyn! I am so happy you liked them! Have fun with the additions š
Shae Lynn
Made these in several varieties and they were all great! Iāve made them : as written, sub coconut oil for butter for a dairy free version, sub flax egg and coconut oil for a vegan version (my husband was SO happy for a keto-vegan biscuit!!). Iāve also done them with both almond flour and almond meal, and added cinnamon to partial batches of each kind for a no-sugar āsweetā treat. Thanks for such a versatile and delicious recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I am so happy you liked them and I love all of your varieties, Shae!
Kat
These were so easy to make. Using a small cookie scoop I made them into small biscuits and they were a hit. I canāt wait to share this tasty recipe! Thank you so much.

I just made these and added a little garlic wow Iām really impressed these are awesome !!! Thanks for the recipe !!

Gloria
Can you freeze these?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gloria, Yes, definitely! I do it all the time.
Michelle
How many biscuits does the recipe give?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Michelle! The recipe makes 12 biscuits. I hope you like them!
Maureen Whale
What is the difference between almond flour and ground almonds?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Maureen, Almond flour is blanched and finely ground. It creates a better texture in baked goods. You can use either one in this recipe, but almond flour will yield a better result.
Elizabeth
Super easy to make! The video was helpful and it was well done. I subbed the coconut oil for the butter. Very tasty! All the ingredients were on my detox food list, so awesome bonus.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! I’m glad the video was helpful. Enjoy the biscuits!
normitten
Super yummy and easy to bake. Ten points!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you so much, enjoy!
Jerry
So, we tried this recipe. After following the instructions and quantities of the ingredients explicitly, the mixing bowl was not hardly damp and the mixed ingredients were still powdery with no chance of sticking together to make a biscuit. We added some water to help it stick together and the results were a “rubbery” biscuit after baking. Not in the least bit “buttery” as the recipe states. Any advice?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Jerry, Sorry you had issues with the recipe. One of the amounts or ingredients must have been different, because I’ve made these dozens of times and the dough is never powdery. I would double check the amounts and ingredients. Did you by chance use coconut flour instead of almond? That would definitely make them dry and not workable. I wouldn’t recommend adding water and can’t vouch for the results if adding that.
Silvia
Hello Maya! I made this recipe with an added cup of shredded mozzarella and I used a lit bit less of almond flour.They are delicious!
Thank you for posting all your wonderful recipes!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Silvia, Thank you so much! The cheesy version sounds delicious.
Holly
Iāve made this a few times. What Iāve learned is,they crumble very easily. I found a solution. I flatten them to use as a slice of bread. Cool off and store in fridge. The next day I fry in a pan of butter. It keeps them together and taste even better. I add garlic powder or other herbs to enhance the taste when I prepare them. So satisfying. Makes Keto diet easier.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Holly, Thank you for those tips! I like the flattened versions to use as bread, too.
Nancy
Are your recipes available on Lifesum or Myfitnesspal? I have been using lifesum lately. Very helpul to keep track of my macros
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Nancy, I’m not familiar with Lifesum, but I know they are on MFP. With most apps you can track macros for any recipe from the Internet.
Diane
Hi, I’m on the keto diet, similar to Paleo. Can I just use regular baking powder instead of GF?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diane, Yes, you can! Most baking powders are naturally gluten-free anyway, but some are not. If gluten-free doesn’t matter, any kind is fine.
GiGi
Is it 164 cal per biscuit? š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gigi, Yes, The nutrition info is per biscuit. They are very filling, too.
Allie
I had a MAJOR blonde moment and forgot to add the eggs. This recipe actually has 5 ingredients, including the salt. Oops! I popped them in the oven and knew something was off. Oh well! I still used the crumbly ābiscuitā as a crumb topping on my soup, but I canāt wait to make these (with egg) again!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Glad you were still able to use it! Hope you like it better next time. š
Marsha
These are so good and easy!! I’ve added some cream cheese to the recipe a couple times which worked great.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Marsha!
Hillary
Have you tried to make these with coconut oil? It says it can be substituted for the butter. I tried tonight and the dough was so crumbly I couldn’t mash them together to make a ball. I added some water and that helped, and they tasted GREAT, but they were still dense and crumbly. Suggestions? Did I do something wrong?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Hillary, Yes, I have made them with coconut oil. Sorry you had trouble with it. It needs to be measured solid before melting, so maybe that was the issue? It’s fine to add a little bit more oil if you need to, but it’s normal for the dough to be fairly dry. They do come out dense like biscuits. Are you looking for a more fluffy bread? If so, this keto bread recipe might be better.
Fawn L. Wiley
These taste better than flour biscuits! Love em.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Fawn!
Cheryl
I am very excited about trying this gluten free recipe. Is there any substitution for eggs that I can use?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cheryl, I have not tested this recipe without eggs. You could try flax eggs, but I can’t vouch for the results. Let me know how it goes if you try that!
Julia
I am trying to replace eggs with banana. I’ll let you know how it works!
Leslie
I made these last night and they are the bomb!! I added some dried garlic along with about 1.5 tbsp of herb de’provence seasoning. Delish!! Thanks for this easy delicious recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Leslie!
Tonya Davis
My husband and I love these biscuits. I added cheddar and Jack cheese. Yummy.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Tonya!
Eliza F
I’m fairly new to paleo-low-carb-keto-type eating, and I’ve been craving bread and sweets with my meals. Tonight, I made these biscuits (my first almond flour venture!) and they filled that gap. Thanks for the awesome recipe! Can’t wait to try some more baking!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Eliza!
Hannah
I can not wait to try this recipe!
I was just wondering how many biscuits this should make?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Hannah, this recipe should make 12 biscuits.
Gina
Added some rosemary, and they were lovely! These are a fantastic canvas to add many different culinary ideas to. Great job!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Gina!
Sarah
I mixed my ingredients in a mug with garlic powder and oregano, did it in the microwave like almost instant keto bread and they were wonderful. I love bread, its one of my weaknesses but these are my new healthy choice, I sliced my mini bread and put avocado and smoked salmon, delicious lunch. Next time capers are gong in the bread.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Sarah! That is such a great idea!
Cheryl
Do you think these will freeze well? Going to try since I’m the only one im my house who is LC.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cheryl, Yes, they do! I do it all the time.

These were really tasty! Perfect for a paleo biscuits and gravy. I put them under the broiler at the end of baking just to brown the tops, and they looked perfect. Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Bethany! Biscuits and gravy sounds delicious!
Angela Capps
Hi – can this recipe be used for dumplings?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Angela, Unfortunately not, but now I added dumplings to my recipe to-do list!
MJ
Good morning! I made these biscuits for breakfast and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 tbsp of swerve, to make them more compatible with coffee for my husband. I served them with butter while they were still warm. They turned out great! Thanks so much for your recipes and wholesomeyum.com!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you! I bet these sweetened were great with coffee!
ljoer
Maya, did you know the pecan pie bars recipe is linked to your biscuit recipe? I’m interested in the bars but the link sends me to the biscuits. Thanks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Sorry about that! You can find the pecan pie bars here.
Brooke
This recipe says it makes 12 biscuits. They are teeny tiny. It really makes about 8 normal sized biscuits.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Brooke, I didn’t think they were tiny – about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. But, you can make them any size you like!
Brooke
Ok thanks! Was trying to make breakfast sandwiches with them, but maybe need to try another way? They crumbled when I cut them in half. Any suggestions? š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Brooke, I agree they are a little crumbly. As pictured, I usually eat them plain alongside something, like soup or salad. If you want to make a sandwich, I would just make them flattened to begin with rather than trying to cut them in half. I do this a lot as well and use them for sandwiches that way. Otherwise the process would be the same, but if you flatten them you’d need to reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
Margaret Smith
I think a couple tbls of ground chia seeds will stick this together quite nicely.
Madge
I just made these for some biscuits and gravy and they’re a new favorite! So easy and quick to make, and a lovely flavor. I can’t wait to try the leftovers with some jam.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Madge! I’m glad you liked them!
Heather
Hi guys,
When I tried this recipe it left an intensely bitter, unpleasant aftertaste. The texture was great and the primary flavour was not bad either.
Has anyone else had this experience? Any idea what the cause or solution might be?
Thanks!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Heather, I’ve never experienced this and have made them dozens of times. I suspect that one of your ingredients went bad – maybe the eggs or almond flour?
Jeanetta
Heather, I read on another site that the bitter taste might be from baking powder that has aluminium in it. Hope this helps!
Kristi
Your baking powder was probably not aluminum free… That has happened to me.
CW
I experienced the same horrible aftertaste. I threw the batch out. I looked at the recipe again, and realized I had used baking soda rather than baking powder! Yuk. I will try again.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you for sharing! Yes, the baking soda would definitely be the reason for the aftertaste. I’m glad you want to try again with baking powder!
Paula
Just made a batch, very nice. Trying to find a gf biscuit for Thanksgiving. I think I found it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Paula!
Sara
Made these and some bacon gravy this morning. I added 2 tbsp of sour cream and OMG! SO GOOD!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Sara! That sounds delicious!
Lulu
Excellent! I added about a tbsp of applesauce unsweetened. These are amazing! I had been very ill with a stomach infection and havenāt been on solid food for weeks, so I had made an almond flatbread but it was extremely dry. Not being sure if these would be or not, I added the applesauce. I adore this recipe. So quick and easy with little baking time. Wow! Thank you for sharing!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Lulu! Hope you are feeling better!
Cyndi
OMG, so good! I used Lawry’s Garlic Salt instead of sea salt, and added some cheddar cheese! They are just as good as Red Lobster’s Cheddar Biscuits. And like you said, so easy! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Cyndi! Love the idea of adding cheddar to them, yum!
April A.
I canāt have almond. Do yo think sorghum flour would sub well?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi April, I haven’t tried that. Let us know if it works!
Liza M. Shaw
Cashew flour can substitute almond flour 1:1. It is worth it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Yes, cashew flour should work the same way. But, it’s higher in carbs than almond flour. Macadamia nut flour is lower in carbs.
Michelle Sweetland
I made these last night and they were awesome! Ty
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Michelle!
Dawn
Tonight I was looking for a quick easy recipe for biscuits to go with a Mexican chicken recipe that I threw together, when I found these. The biscuits are awesome! Thank you so very much for sharing this recipe. Can’t wait to check out the rest of your site š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Dawn! Welcome and I hope you find many recipes you like!
Diane
Hello there, Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs? I am allergic to the yolk. If so, how many egg whites would I need? Regards, Diane
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diane, You can, but they will be more dense. You may want to add more baking powder to compensate. If you decide to try it, the replacement would be 3 large egg whites instead of the 2 large eggs.
Carolyn
Hi – since Paleo is dairy-free, I’d like to avoid using butter. How different are the results if you use coconut oil? How much does it change the texture & taste?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Carolyn, Butter is one of those things that is up for debate in paleo circles. Many people do include it in a paleo diet, but you can also use ghee or coconut oil in this recipe if you want to. I prefer the flavor of butter or ghee, but coconut oil works, too. The texture is about the same either way. The flavor is a little different with coconut oil, but still good.
Sally Doll
Hi, Can you add sour cream to the batter and how much would you suggest?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sally, I haven’t tried that. What is your goal with adding the sour cream? I’m sure you could. You’d probably need to replace some of the butter with sour cream in the same amount, to maintain consistency.
Kestrel
I have added sour cream to them and they have less delicate structure (think cornbread) which is better for dunking or serving with a sauce. I have made these a multitude of ways:
* with cinnamon sugar and a bit of vanilla bean along with honey butter (you could theoretically use maple syrup but that has way too much sugar for me so I haven’t tried it )
* also with garlic, a bit of parmesasan cheese (NOT the junk from a green can) and some Italian seasonings
*a healthy bit of fresh black pepper and then lightly pressed in a panini maker and smothered with sausage gravy
* a base for a grilled peach and a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of honey
*mixed with Splenda then seated in a puddle of sauce that I spiked with framboise and diced real cherries and then topped with whipped ricotta mixed with honey <—- awesome!
*I added coconut milk and some flakes to the batter with coconut cream which were great alone but then I whipped the leftover coconut cream to put on top with some blueberries. Amazing.
I had a couple of coconuts biscuits left over so I cubed and toasted them, mixed them with chopped pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts to make a little granola-like topping for a chocolate mousse made with ricotta and cocoa. Paleo purists could use it on an almond milk-based ice cream. The difference in texture is nice.
Hope that helps. Thanks for the recipe. I've obviously used it a lot!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
All of those different ideas sound delicious! I’m glad you’ve been inspired by this recipe!
Liyah
I followed the recipe. I measured the butter while solid and then melted it. It turned out looking like the picture shown above. However, the biscuits taste more like dry cornbread than a biscuit. I made it a second time and added 2 tbsp of almond milk. The milk made the biscuit a bit softer, but it still tasted like cornbread. Although this recipe was really easy to put together, I don’t think I will be making this again.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you for the feedback, Liyah. Sorry that they weren’t for you. I hope you’ll try another recipe! Low carb bagels may be a better option if you’re looking for something more chewy.
Denise Crow
I made these and added garlic, old bay, and cheddar. Sooo goood!!!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Denise! Those add-ins sound great!
Jamie
I paired these (delicious!) biscuits with white cheddar and now I want to make another batch and bake the cheddar in. How much did you use and did you alter any other the other ingredients? Thank you!
Faye Cox
I have made these and added different kinds of cheeses, but my favorite is using Splenda and cinnamon in the batter! Thanks for the recipe, it is great.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Faye! I need to try a sweet cinnamon version of these.
Kelly
But you don’t say how many biscuits the recipe makes.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kelly, This info is on the recipe card – it makes 12 biscuits.
Amanda
Would these be good for biscuits and gravy?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Amanda, Absolutely! Give them a try!
Susan
I see 5 ingredients?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Susan, I don’t include salt and pepper in my ingredient counts. This is pretty typical for recipes. š
Omnivore47
I don’t see salt and pepper in these ingredients. You don’t seem to be counting the eggs, which are an ingredient.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
The four ingredients other than salt in this recipe are almond flour, gluten-free baking powder, eggs, and butter. š
Stellar
Yeah, please let us know, Sharon!
Mary
These came out wonderful. I used them for strawberry shortcake. Broke up a biscuit in a bowl, added sliced fresh strawberries and put a little whipped, heavy cream on top. Nice to feel like you are having a treat but keeping the carbs low.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Mary! That sounds like an awesome way to enjoy these.
Renae
What I have says Almond Flour/Meal. It reminds me more of cornmeal than flour. Could I put it in a food processor and it work for the biscuits?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Renae, A label like that usually means it’s almond meal, which is less finely ground than almond flour and typically not blanched. Putting it in a food processor would help (but be careful not to overprocess or you’ll end up with almond butter). Either way, the biscuits do work with almond meal, but the texture is a bit different.
Gall
Thanks for sharing. I really need to keep my carbs down and eat no wheat at all.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
You’re welcome!
Sarah
What country are you in? When you say biscuit, do you mean cookie? Or whatever the word biscuit means in America, I think like a scone or shortcake.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sarah, I’m in the United States. Here, biscuits are more like a soft, buttery bread. The texture is a little similar to a scone, but they are savory, not sweet. They make a good accompaniment to a meal, or if you make a flattened version of these biscuits, you can use them as sandwich bread as well.
Christa
These are so yummy, so glad I found this recipe! Just curious how you store them? Thanks! š
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Christa! You could keep them on the counter for a day or two, but they are best stored in the refrigerator.
Amanda
My husband and I are doing low carb diet and I just made these! So easy and pretty tasty! I love that they’re GF for the kids too. We’re not allergic, just do better without it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Amanda, I’m glad your family liked these! We’re the same way – not allergic to gluten but still feel better without it.
Julie
Mine did not turn out looking like this. I have brown globs on my baking sheet. I probably don’t have fine enough flour. I haven’t tasted them yet.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Julie, Almond flour is finely milled and blanched – it shouldn’t be brown. Did you by chance use almond meal instead? That would explain the darker color. It might also work, but the appearance and texture would definitely be different. In general, I’d recommend almond flour over almond meal for this recipe.
FoodPlato
OMG! These were awesome, thank you!!! First “bread” since starting keto two weeks ago.
Lindsey
Do you add the butter melted, cold and diced, or softened?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Lindsey, Measure the butter solid, then melt it and add it melted.
Sean
Just made them with coconut oil! They’re super tasty for only 4 ingredients – thanks!!
Sharon
What can I use in place of the eggs? Can’t have eggs.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sharon, I haven’t tried it, but flax eggs might work. Stir together 2 tablespoons of flax seed meal with 6 tablespoons water, and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Then you should be able to use the mixture to replace the 2 eggs in the recipe. Let me know if it works!
Rebekah
These came out absolutely incredible! Cant believe they are paleo– they taste just like regular biscuits! Will definitely be making them again soon!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Rebekah!
Kenneth Brown
What is the serving size for the nutritional chart?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kenneth, The serving size is one biscuit as far as the nutrition label goes. But of course you can have more than one serving. š
April
Great recipe! And sooo easy! I added Italian seasoning to my biscuits and they were yummy!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, April! I love Italian seasoning, too.
Michele
Can’t wait to make these too!! I’m really really loving your site!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you!
Sean
Hi! These look great. Would you consider making a coconut flour biscuit as well (if you don’t already)? I am less of a fan of almond flour and sometimes feel a little queasy eating it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Sean, I’ve added it to my list to create a recipe for coconut flour biscuits, too. Thank you for the feedback!
Fannie
Would love coconut flour low carb bread!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Thank you, Fannie! I’ll add that to my list. I do have a cauliflower bread made with coconut flour here.
Chris
Iād like to make these sweet- with swerve. How much would you suggest?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Chris, The amount of Swerve required to make them sweet would likely make the dough too dry. You can try but I haven’t tested so not sure how it would turn out. I have a recipe for shortbread cookies with similar ingredients that you might want to try.
Luz
Good Morning! I tried this recipe today and they came out really good. Thank you for sharing!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
