Why You’ll Love These Low-Carb Biscuits

- Quick and easy in the air fryer
- Fluffy inside, lightly crisp outside
- Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or snacks
- Easy to customize with cheese, herbs, or spices
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or dried herbs for savory biscuits
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt. If you want savory biscuits, add garlic powder, dried rosemary, or thyme.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add melted butter and almond milk, whisking until smooth.
3. Combine
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms. Almond flour dough is slightly sticky, so don’t worry if it’s not perfect.
4. Shape the Biscuits
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form 8–10 biscuit-sized rounds. Place parchment paper or lightly greased foil in the air fryer basket.
5. Air Fry
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook biscuits for 10–12 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Check at 8 minutes to ensure they’re not overcooking.
6. Serve Warm
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve as-is, or with butter, keto jam, or even alongside Air Fryer Cajun Shrimp Bowl or Air Fryer Spicy Shrimp Salad.

Flavor Variations

FAQs
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you’ll need less flour and more eggs. It’s doable, but texture will differ.
Are these biscuits gluten-free?
Yes! Using almond flour makes them naturally gluten-free.
Can I make them dairy-free?
Absolutely. Substitute melted butter with coconut oil.
Why aren’t my biscuits rising?
Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Almond flour doesn’t rise like wheat, so expect a slightly denser biscuit than traditional flour.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, freeze individually and reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
How do I make them fluffier?
Separate eggs and fold in beaten egg whites for extra lift.
