The Low Carb Cheddar Muffin Ingredients
- Almond Flour Provides the gluten-free base and a slightly nutty flavor.
- Cream Cheese & Butter These fats create a tender, moist crumb that mimics traditional biscuits.
- Cheddar Cheese Adds the sharp, savory punch that defines the dish.
- Baking Powder Ensures the biscuits rise and stay airy rather than dense.
- Garlic & Onion Powder These provide a classic savory depth without the moisture of fresh aromatics.
Making the Low Carb Keto Biscuits
- Prep the Oven Preheat your oven to 450°F and line muffin tins with liners. My Family and I have been using the natural parchment tulip muffin tin liners. We feel they are ideal when baking muffins.
- Cream the Cheese and Butter In a large bowl, use a mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and melted butter until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients Add the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, onion powder, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in Cheese Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula.
- Portion the Dough Divide the mixture into nine equal portions within the muffin tins. I use a #20 scoop. I feel it works best with portion control and is less messy.
- Bake Place in the oven for 8–10 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the center, if it comes out clean, they are ready.
Troubleshooting the Keto Cheddar Biscuits
- Soft cream cheese Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature. If it is too cold, you will end up with small lumps in your biscuit dough.
- Don't overmix Once you add the almond flour, mix just until the white streaks disappear to keep the texture light.
- Biscuits are too brown on the bottom Move your oven rack to the middle or upper-middle position.
- Biscuits are falling apart Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. This helps the cheese set.
- Biscuits are too soggy This often happens if the butter was too hot or the biscuits didn't bake long enough. Ensure the toothpick comes out clean.
The almond flour cheesy biscuits would go great with my orange spiced baked ham or my low carb turkey chili recipe.
