- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein isolate powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together. Add the psyllium husk powder and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 8 biscuits. Lightly flatten the tops with your hand.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a savory variation, add 1 teaspoon of dried chives to the dry ingredients.
- These keto biscuit recipe items freeze well; cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to one month.
- If you prefer a slightly softer texture, reduce the heavy cream by one tablespoon.
