Keto Bacon Cheddar Bay Biscuits

One of the hardest things to give up on a keto diet is warm, fresh bread straight from the oven.

These keto bacon cheddar bay biscuits solve that problem completely. They give you all the comfort of classic bakery biscuits without the extra carbs.

I make them using almond flour, plenty of melted butter, crisp bacon, and sharp cheese. The garlic butter brushed over the top makes every bite taste incredible.

Because they are low carb and keto friendly, you can enjoy one alongside soup or dinner without worrying about your blood sugar or daily carb limits.

They take less than half an hour from start to finish, making them a great side dish for any night of the week.

Why I Love This Recipe

Classic Restaurant Flavor – You get the famous seafood restaurant taste without all the heavy carbs that break your diet.

Crispy and Fluffy Texture – The craggy tops turn golden and crunchy while the centers stay soft, tender, and moist.

Savory Bacon Upgrade – Crispy bacon folded into the dough adds a smoky bite that makes them even better than the original.

Irresistible Butter Topping – Brushing warm garlic herb butter over the hot biscuits delivers incredible richness in every single bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Biscuits

• 2 cups Blanched Almond Flour
• 1 tbsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1/2 cup Sour Cream
• 4 tbsp Butter, Melted
• 1 1/2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
• 6 slices Bacon, Cooked & Crumbled

For the Garlic Butter Topping

• 3 tbsp Butter, Melted
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/4 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
• 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, Finely Chopped

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream and melted butter until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

Drop the dough onto the baking sheet in 12 rough mounds, about 1/4 cup each, leaving 2 inches between them. Keep the tops craggy and uneven, since those edges bake up crisp and golden.

Step 6

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and set in the center.

Step 7

Stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, Old Bay and parsley. Brush generously over the hot biscuits as soon as they come out of the oven and serve warm.

Tips

Grate the Cheese From a Block

I recommend grating your own cheddar fresh off a block rather than buying the pre-shredded bags at the grocery store.

Pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch powder to keep the shreds from sticking together. That extra coating adds unwanted carbs and stops the cheese from melting smoothly into your biscuit dough.

Spoon and Level the Almond Flour

When you measure your almond flour, fluff it up with a fork first and lightly spoon it into the measuring cup.

If you scoop the cup directly into the bag, the flour packs down tightly. You’ll end up with way too much flour in the bowl, which makes the biscuits dense and dry instead of light and tender.

Let the Melted Butter Cool Down

From my experience, you should always give the melted butter a few minutes to cool down before mixing it with the cold sour cream and eggs.

If the butter is piping hot, it can start cooking the raw eggs right in the bowl. Letting it come down to warm room temperature keeps your wet mixture completely smooth and uniform.

FAQ

Can I substitute coconut flour for the almond flour?

You cannot swap them at an equal ratio because coconut flour absorbs significantly more moisture than almond flour.

If you prefer coconut flour, use about one-third of the amount called for and add an extra egg to keep the batter moist.
