    Frequently asked questions

    What if I don't have a food processor?

    If you don't have a food processor, simply whisk the dry ingredients then cut in the butter with 2 forks until it is well incorporated and looks like sand. Then, stir in the remaining ingredients.

    How do I store low-carb biscuits?

    These can be stored loosely covered at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, or frozen.

    How do I freeze almond flour biscuits?

    To freeze almond flour keto biscuits, wrap each biscuit in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe baggie. To reheat, thaw and reheat in the microwave or in the oven. Be sure to add a little butter to the top before heating so they don't dry out!

    Main ingredients

    • Blanched Almond Flour - You need to use finely ground blanched almond flour. Almond meal will not yield good results.
    • Coconut Flour - All coconut flour isn't the same! Some are much more absorbent than others. I recommend using either Bob's Red Mill, Besti, or Arrowhead Mills. These are the brands I know will work. If you need to use another brand, make sure it has a soft and fluffy texture, not gritty or grainy. However, if you use another brand I cannot guarantee the results.
    • Sweetener - I always add sweetener, but this is totally optional! If you do choose to add sweetener, be sure it's erythritol-based, otherwise, the tops may not crip and the biscuits may turn out overly soft.
    • Butter - I highly recommend real, grass-fed butter. Not only does it taste 1000 times better, but it packs a nutritional punch that regular butter just doesn’t have. However, ghee or dairy-free butter can be used. Also, be sure the butter is cold. Cold butter creates steam which makes the biscuits flakey!
    • Xanthan Gum - This helps bind the biscuits and keeps them from being too soft and delicate.
    • Eggs - These also bind the biscuits together and keep them from being dry.
    • Egg Whites - The extra egg white helps hold the biscuits together and keeps them from being too crumbly.

    Easy instructions

    Step #1: In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the dry ingredients and whirl to combine.

    Step #2: Add cold butter and pulse until only small pieces remain and the mixture looks like sand.

    Step #3: Add eggs, an egg white, and apple cider vinegar. Pulse until the batter is combined and comes together.

    Step #4: Drop onto a baking sheet.

    Use a large spoon to drop the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then use wet hands to loosely roll them into balls and place them back on the baking sheet.

    Slightly flatten with the palms of your hands.

    *Note- For traditional drop biscuits, just leave them as-is without rolling, however, I prefer them rolled and slightly flattened.

    Step #5: Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
