Keto Biscuits

Whenever I am craving comforting carbs on a keto diet, my favorite recipes to make are lasagna, mac and cheese, and these low carb biscuits. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cups almond flour blanched,

  • not almond meal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoon butter unsalted and chopped
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk almond, soy, coconut, etc.
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together your almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add your chopped butter and using a fork, blend into the flour mixture, until a crumbly texture remains. Add your milk, eggs, and shredded cheese (if using it) and mix until just combined.
  • Drop scant 1/4 cup portions of the biscuit dough onto the lined pan, about 2-3 inches apart. Using a spoon, press the sides to form a circular shape. Bake for 12 minutes, until the tops are beginning to go golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. If desired, brush with extra melted butter on top.

Notes

If you’d like to make these dairy free and vegan, try vegan biscuits. 

TO STORE: Leftover biscuits can keep at room temperature, for up to 5 days. Place the biscuits in a sealable container, and cover with several paper towels or a dishcloth. This keeps the biscuits fluffy. You can refrigerate them to keep them longer.TO FREEZE: Place cooled biscuits in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. TO REHEAT: Biscuits are best enjoyed warm, so zap them in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.

  • 1/2 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded; must be either pre-shredded OR hard mozzarella, not soft “fresh”)

INSTRUCTIONS

Tap on the times in the instructions below to start a kitchen timer while you cook.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Stir together the almond flour and baking powder. Set aside.
  3. Combine the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a large bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Stir again at the end until well incorporated. (If you don’t want to use the microwave, heat the cheeses in a double boiler on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted and easy to stir.)
  4. Stir the flour mixture and eggs into the melted cheese mixture. Working quickly while the cheese is still hot, knead with your hands until a dough forms. The dough will be very sticky, but keep kneading and squeezing through your fingers for a few minutes. If the dough becomes hard before fully mixed, is too difficult to mix, or is still sticky after a couple minutes, you can microwave/reheat for 15-20 seconds to soften it. In that case, wash your hands and knead again.

    NOTES:a) It’s very important for the dough to be completely uniform before proceeding to the next step. You shouldn’t have pieces of cheese separate from areas of almond flour.b) If you want to use a food processor or stand mixer, or if you have trouble with sticky dough, please check the tips in the post above!

  5. Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form/roll a long log with each part, then press the ends together to make a bagel shape on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the bagels and gently press into the dough. (You can also use everything seasoning for everything bagels.)
  6. Bake for 10-14 minutes, until the bagels are firm and golden.

RECIPE NOTES

  • For “everything” keto bagels, try everything seasoning! It’s been very popular with people making this recipe.
  • Want to make this recipe with coconut flour? Make the dough just like fathead pizza dough with coconut flour, except double the recipe and add 1 tbsp baking powder to the coconut flour. Then follow the instructions for making the bagels above.

Bright and flavorful keto lemon zucchini bread you’d never guess is low-carb!

Miss homemade zucchini bread? Not anymore! 

I’ve got a wonderful keto lemon zucchini bread recipe you’re gonna wanna try ASAP!

In this recipe, we’re swapping out the flour for grain-free almond flour, and sugar for keto-friendly sweeteners including Swerve granular and Swerve confectioners. They are the closest thing to real sugar I have tasted and work great in this recipe to give you a flavorful keto bread!

Lemon zucchini perfection!

Both the bright flavor of lemon and the added texture and moisture of zucchini are delicious and make a yummy combo! This is a yummy cake-like treat that the entire family will love, and won’t even guess it’s keto-friendly unless you tell them (our lips are sealed)!

I love that the process is very simple, made by mixing up dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, and then combining them with the lemon zest and zucchini.

Here are a few recipe tips to keep in mind when making keto lemon zucchini bread:

  • Grate the zucchini and then press it against the strainer to get some of the water out.
  • Put grated zucchini in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze gently over a sink to release the extra moisture, and pat dry. This is an important step that can’t be missed.
  • Keto bread can sometimes stick badly in pans, so I first covered my loaf pan with parchment paper. It worked perfectly, and I definitely recommend it!
  • When baking, cover the loaf with foil about 45 minutes in to prevent the top from burning. Monitor this and add more time if necessary.
  • Be sure to let cool slightly before pouring the glaze over the top.

Bright and flavorful zucchini bread you’d never guess is keto!

DIRECTIONS

1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. This is an important step so that the bread doesn’t stick.

2.Spoon and level out your almond flour to ensure the correct amount. Mix the almond flour, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Set aside.

3.In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the Swerve into the coconut oil before adding the other ingredients. Once whisked, add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.

4.Fold in the dry ingredients with the wet, then fold in the drained zucchini (make sure you’ve squeezed out the extra moisture) into the batter.

5.Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven for 55-65 minutes but check at the hour mark so it doesn’t over cook. If it’s browning too much toward the end of bake time, cover with foil. (I’d recommend covering at about 45 minutes). A toothpick inserted in the middle will come out clean when cooked through. Place on a wire rack to cool.

6.Whisk together Swerve confectioners and lemon juice. After the loaf has cooled slightly, drizzle loaf with glaze. Enjoy!
