Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Dry Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
- Stir in the whisked egg, heavy cream, and melted butter until fully combined.
Step 3: Add Cheese
- Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the dough.
Step 4: Scoop and Shape the Biscuits
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the biscuits are spaced about 2 inches apart (they will spread slightly while baking).
- Shape them into rustic, rounded biscuits, gently pressing them flat with your fingers.
Step 5: Bake the Biscuits
- Bake for 12–16 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and semi-firm to the touch.
Step 6: Add Topping and Cool
- While the biscuits bake, mix together melted butter, fresh parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt for the topping.
- Once the biscuits are done, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to firm up.
- Brush the biscuits with the garlic butter topping while they’re still warm.

FAQs
Q: Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, almond flour is the best choice for keto, but you could use coconut flour. If using coconut flour, you’ll need to reduce the amount and adjust the liquid, as coconut flour is more absorbent.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free alternative. Use a dairy-free cheese such as cashew cheese for a full dairy-free version.
Q: Can I make these biscuits in advance?
Yes, they keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Reheat them in the oven for a fresh-baked texture.
