The cheesy almond flour low carb biscuits are the real deal. The last biscuit recipe you will ever need!
Low Carb Cheddar Jalapeno Bacon Biscuits – The most common feedback that I get about these low carb biscuits is that they “taste like the real deal”. Bread, biscuits, muffins etc. are usually some of the things that people following a low carb, gluten free ketogenic lifestyle miss the most. Good low carb bread recipes can be hard to come by. It is so hard to mimic the texture of a perfectly executed bread recipe. But these almond flour cheesy biscuits will cure your biscuit craving in no time. They also make an awesome base for low carb biscuits and gravy. Unlike coconut flour biscuits, this almond flour biscuit recipe has a soft, mouth-watering texture inside, while being perfectly firm on the outside.
I love to pair these with my Low Carb Chili Recipe. I also have another variation of these little beauties, Low Carb White Cheddar Sausage Breakfast Biscuits. You won’t be disappointed in these keto biscuits!

Oh My Gosh these look AMAZING!
Can you tell me, do you think Almond flour would sub for the Carbquick? I have Celiac!
I do not have a lot of experience with almond flour. I would suspect that it should work just fine but it may make the dough a little grainy texture wise. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.
will do!!!!!!!!! Thanks girl! Love your blog!
Thank you!
I made these with sour cream b/c I didn’t have cream cheese; ohhh la la!
I am so excited to make these! I ordered some Carbquik and it arrived yesterday. Do you have any other recipes on the blog that use it?
Kim
I was unable to copy this for my recipe file. Cannot make them.
just made these biscuits with all almond flour instead of the carquik and they are FANTASTIC!!! Followed the recipe exact with the exception of replacing the carbquik with almond flour…same amount. Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
I just came across this post now and was wondering the same, having gluten problems… it’s good to know almond flour would work… I also have coconut flour that I may try as well! 🙂
Thank you for sticking your neck out there with the almond flour! I never would have guessed that you could sub 1 for 1! Man, now I’m making these for sure!
These turned out wonderful. Some people were skeptical because of the CarbQuick, but there weren’t any leftovers. Thanks for the great recipe!
I’m not a huge fan of cream cheese. How noticeable is the cream cheese taste overall with these biscuits?
It doesn’t affect the taste much and isn’t very strong but it is great for the texture of the biscuits
Hey, are these ok to freeze and eat later? Just want to know before I try this.
I’ve never had any leftovers to freeze 🙂 If you try it, let me know how they hold over
Holy Hel, Kyndra! These are soooo good!!! I’m a vegetarian, so I subbed my fake bacon (I know, it must break your heart) and they were still delicious! But I don’t understand what that whole ‘allow to cool for 30 minutes’ meant?!?! They got to cool for a whole 2 minutes before I dove in! None of your recipes have ever let me down! Keep up the good work!
I can not wait to try these! I love that I don’t have to beat the egg white separate! I however, do not have a muffin top pan. Can these just be dropped on a cookie sheet as drop biscuits??? Thank you for all the yummy recipes!!! Shannon Brown
I am having trouble finding that carb count. Can you list the nutritional info?
You can enter the ingredients into a site like myfitnesspal or fatsecret and you can quickly get the nutritional analysis.
I made them & they are great!!
I keep finding these awesome recipes with Almond Flour! I have a son who’s allergic to peanut and tree nuts, so unfortunately that’s a no-go. 🙁 I’m wondering if coconut flour would be considered a good substitute for Almond flour in this recipe (and others as well) ?
You are now my low carb hero!!!!!!!!!!! I just made these and they are fantastic!!! I used 4 fresh jalapenos instead of pickled because they were easily available and left them in for 26 minutes so the edges were extra crispy. Calculated these at 2.5 effective carbs each! The only problem I will have is eating just 1-2 but they will be a staple in my house for a long time!
Made these exactly as written and they are fantastic!
I didn’t have a muffin top pan, but just sprayed a parchment paper lined baking sheet and they came out perfect. The texture is like a cheddar-jalapeno corn muffin and I pop 1 out of the freezer and toast it! Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
Did I miss how many calories these are??? They really look yummiishous!!!
Made these tonight with a few changes – no jalapenos (can’t do spicy), instead of Italian went with chives for seasoning. Made them up in 6 oz. ramekins making them thin and just the perfect size for fantastic cheeseburger buns!! This recipe is a keeper – and can be changed up depending on spices and cheeses used to keep it new every time. My husband is DH and I am LCHF so these work for both of us. Thank you again!!
i havent even tried the recipe yet and i’m compelled to say “you complete me.”
I’m not a fan of jalapenos so I’m going to try these without. I have all the other ingredients.
delicious! These will be one of my go-to recipes!
Per my Fittness Pal receipe calculator these yummies have 2 carbs☺
HFS. These are seriously AMAZING. I have made them twice and have been told by the family I need to make them every week now. So. GOOD. Thank you so much.
OMG these are amazing…i misread the jalapeno pepper thing and put in 8 whole jalapenos diced instead of 10 slices of jalapenos LOL..its ok though because I love heat…they were amazing….
Thank you for this easy, most delicious and low carb recipe. These little gems were simply divine.
Made two batches, thanks, we are going on a car trip for the weekend and wanted to take these delicious treats with us to skimp on instead of finding Paleo friendly restaurant food (can be tedious to do in Orlando)! I just used my coffee grinder on organic blanched almond flour before hand to smooth out any grittiness, and added about three tablespoons organic clear acacia powder to boost the fiber. Awesome recipe with just a few ingredients thanks!
I am counting on this recipe again sometime, when we visit Walt Disney World. These can fit in my backpack for a quick snack.
These are WONDERFUL!!! I used the same amount of almond meal/flour, it worked beautifully. Cannot taste the cream cheese. I did as another reviewer did…put dollops of the dough/batter on a sheet of parchment paper to bake them. Worked great. Think I might try adding a bit of ground flax seed to boost the omega-3, and maybe use the chopped ham I have on hand instead of bacon. And swap the cheddar cheese for Swiss. Seems to be a pretty flexible recipe using different meats, cheese, and seasonings. Am thinking maybe some taco flavored biscuits…hmmm.
Ok, so I imported the recipe into My Fitness Pal, and updated using actual ingredients (mostly canned goods) I used. I used the Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour, a no-sugar bacon, and a low sugar tomato paste, but I just cannot come out to less than 4 net grams of carbs per SERVING (2 biscuits).
I put in Serving Size = 12 when I created the recipe in MFP so it would divide it properly, but I keep getting 7 grams net carbs per biscuit! If I eat two biscuits, I’m done!
Help!
Sorry, ignore the “canned goods” comment. I was thinking about the chili when I wrote that.
My info lists net carbs. Are you subtracting the fiber or are you counting total carbs?
*SIGH*…I have a newborn, y’all. So I’m just going to start right there. I blame lack of sleep, but I finally figured out what was wrong.
Apparently the garlic powder MFP imported had 77g of carbs!!! Talk about a mistake. I chose the one I actually used. Fixed. Sorry for all the useless comments!
the cheddar bacon biscuits are awesome!
Has anyone substituted the eggs with an egg replacer?
Muffin top pans are VERY HARD to find!!!! The stores just don’t have them! (well except online, but that won’t work when you need it now). I bought all of the ingredients already. so I guess I will try parchment paper on a baking sheet and see what kind of magic happens. Very frustrated. I guess I know what’s on my XMAS list this year!
I just made these with chorizo instead of bacon and chopped onions instead of jalapeno. Came out lerfectly! Thank you yet again for a great recipe so I dont feel deprived of tasty snacks while living a low carb lifestyle 🙂
Made these this morning and OMG they are so good!!! I wasn’t sure about them, since I’ve tried many recipes using almond flour and they were like cardboard. These are heavenly! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hi Kyndra,
I made these for the first time today and they are ridiculously good! Thank you for posting the recipe . I understand why you mentioned in a previous post that you don’t ever have leftovers. It’s going to take some serious will power not to eat the whole darn batch. 🙂
Love love love!
These biscuits are delicious!! I never miss the carb filled biscuits I used to make with these around! Thanks so much for the recipe.
I made these today, and they were phenomenally delicious. I didn’t have a muffin top pan so I used a mini muffin tin. It worked perfectly. Even my family who don’t eat low carb really liked them. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And actually I ate 3 and they are very filling. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.
I have everything on hand right now and you have just given me the idea for our mini- meal of the day, which is somewhere between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. depending on the morning work load that comes with owning a ranch.. One of these and a cup of keto coffee should keep me going until the main meal. I am working on getting down to one meal a day for 5 of the 7 days a week and going meat free on Mondays..The pictures in your book are awesome!
