The Story Behind These Biscuits
I’ve always loved cheddar chive biscuits, but the ones from places like Red Lobster are packed with regular flour and unnecessary carbs. So, I set out to create a low-carb version that still has flaky layers, buttery flavor, and a cheesy kick without sacrificing texture or taste.
The secret ingredient? Cottage cheese!
It not only adds protein but also helps keep the biscuits moist and tender without extra fat. Next time, I might even make a double batch because they disappear so fast!

Ingredients
- Almond flour
- Full-fat cottage cheese
- Egg
- Butter (melted)
- Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- Baking powder
- Garlic powder
- Fresh chives (chopped)
- Salt
Optional Add-ins:
- Onion powder for an extra kick.
- Sour cream for even more richness.
- Cream cheese for a denser biscuit.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or use silicone muffin molds for easy removal. You can line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat instead if you prefer.
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth in a food processor or blender.
- Add all wet and dry ingredients (except the cheddar and chives) to the blender. Blend until fully combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and fresh chives by hand. If the blender is too small, transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl before mixing.
- Scoop the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each mold about ¾ full. If using a baking sheet, drop individual portions onto the prepared sheet, shaping them slightly into rounds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin (or baking sheet) and serving.
🔥 Air Fryer Option:
- Preheat air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
- Use silicone muffin cups and place them in the air fryer basket.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking for doneness.
Tips for Best Keto Cheddar Biscuits
- Blend the cottage cheese well to remove lumps and create a smooth dough.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for extra richness and fluffiness.
- Shred your own cheddar – Pre-shredded cheese contains starches that can affect how the biscuits bake.
- Let the biscuits rest for a few minutes before eating—this helps them firm up.
- For a crispier texture, bake them an extra 2-3 minutes or broil for 1-2 minutes at the end..
Ingredient Swaps & Variations
- Almond flour alternative – Swap for coconut flour, but use ¼ cup instead of 1 cup (it’s more absorbent).
- Cheese variations – Try mozzarella cheese, medium cheddar, or even a mix of parmesan and sharp cheddar.
- Herb options – If you don’t have chives, use dried chives, green onion, or fresh parsley.
- Dairy-free version – Replace cottage cheese with dairy-free cream cheese, and use olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter.
Best Way to Store Low Carb Biscuits
- Room temperature – Store the keto almond flour biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator – Keep in the fridge for up to one week.
- Freezer-friendly – Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
