Low Carb Biscuits

Would you believe that these low carb cheddar biscuits are only 2 carbs and 125 calories each?!

Biscuits made with all-purpose flour and similar wet ingredients to this grain-free recipe are just shy of 19 grams of carbohydrates!

That’s a big difference when limiting carbohydrates in your diet!  But wait, there is a bonus, each tender bite is super filling and satisfying!

Once the ingredients are incorporated, then combine the two together to form a dough.  Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and drop 1/4 – 1/3 cup  of dough on a baking sheet.

What to eat with almond flour biscuits:

Enjoy almond flour biscuits with a bowl of soup like this poorman’s meatball soup, cauliflower soup, super good chili with beer, or use them as rolls like I did to make hamburger sliders!

You’ll love the hint of garlic and flavorful sharp cheddar cheese that is folded into the batter.  The cheese melts right into the biscuit adding lots of flavor!

      The closest I’ve found to buttery biscuits. I do swap out garlic powder for an extra 1/2 tsp of baking powder if I missed am going for regular biscuits vets red lobster cheddar bay biscuits. I am thinking of swapping cheddar for mozzarella or cream cheese and garlic for a cinnamon sweetener mix for a sweeter biscuit in the future. Has anyone made these cutting the butter into the dough versus melted?
