Three Cheese Keto Biscuits

These Three Cheese Keto Biscuits are perfectly soft and fluffy! Each low carb biscuit is loaded with sharp cheddar, mozzarella and fresh basil for just 2 net carbs each!

 

These cheesy keto biscuits are the BEST gluten-free biscuits for a low-carb or keto diet! They are similar to my popular Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits (the perfect low-carb Red Lobster copycat recipe), but they’re also stuffed full of mozzarella and fresh basil for amazing flavor. Serve this almond flour biscuit recipe with my favorite Zucchini Casserole or with this Loaded Breakfast Scramble!

Why you’ll love this recipe:

• Easy – This recipe does not require any unusual ingredients or complicated cooking techniques. If you have a bowl and a sheet pan, you will be ready to go! Great for beginner cooks and busy folks!
• Versatile – You could easily swap the cheeses for your own favorites like smoked gouda, creamy provolone, or spicy pepper jack. The herbs and spices can also be substituted for others, making it the perfect side dish for any main course!
• Freezer-Friendly – This makes 22 small biscuits, perfect for prepping for multiple meals. You can use some tonight, pack some in lunches, and freeze others for breakfast sandwiches or future lazy meals.

Ingredients

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe. Find the exact measurements and instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

• Cream cheese, Shredded cheddar cheese, Shredded mozzarella, and Eggs – This forms the wet “base” of the biscuits. Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to make mixing as easy as possible! I have not tried any cheese or egg substitutes.
• Almond flour, Baking powder, and Salt – These dry ingredients provide structure and lift so that the biscuits come out nice and fluffy. I do not recommend any substitute for the almond flour.
• Heavy cream and Melted butter – You can replace the cream with unsweetened almond milk, but it will decrease the fat content.
• Fresh basil, Garlic powder, and Dried parsley – Flavor makers! Feel free to replace these with your own favorite fresh herbs and dried spices if you prefer.

How to Make this Keto Biscuit Recipe

This recipe is super easy; all you need is a bowl, a spatula, an ice cream scoop, and a baking sheet. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Mix biscuit dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheeses and eggs. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream and melted butter. Fold in the freshly chopped basil

Chill dough

Place the mixed dough into the fridge and chill for 10-15 minutes. This step is NOT OPTIONAL. If you skip the chilling step, your dough will quickly spread, making an oddly-shaped, unevenly-cooked biscuit-ish sheet pan. If you’re meal prepping, you can leave this covered in the fridge up to two days if you necessary.

Scoop & bake biscuits

After chilling, use a small cookie dough or ice cream scoop to spoon the mixture out onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Lightly press the dough down into the shape you like. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are a nice golden color.

Brush with butter

While the cheddar biscuits are baking, combine your melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Once you remove the biscuits from the oven, brush them liberally with the garlic powder. Serve immediately.

How to Store Keto Biscuits

After baking, allow the biscuits to cool and then store in the fridge up to 4-5 days. They freeze and reheat beautifully, so just store any extras in an airtight container or freezer bag and microwave in 20-second increments when you’re ready to eat them.

Tips for Making Keto Biscuits

• You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of cream if you want, but the fat content decreases. If you’re not keto, that’s no big deal.
• If you want regular cheesy biscuits just leave out the basil and the garlic powder in the butter topping. These biscuits are great for breakfast or sliders.
• Do not skip chilling the dough! This is necessary to achieve the right consistency.
• Make sure to either spray the pan well with oil or line the pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner. The biscuits like to stick if you don’t.
• Do not substitute the almond flour with coconut flour or others. They do not have the same texture or absorbtion rate, so your biscuits will not come out correctly.
