Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking sheet with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, kosher salt, and a dash of black pepper.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients
-
Crack the egg into the dry mixture, then pour in the melted butter and sour cream. Stir gently until the dough starts to come together.
3. Add Bacon and Cheese
-
Fold in the chopped cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
4. Shape and Bake

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
5. Cool and Serve
-
Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors settle and prevents crumbling.
