Almond Flour Biscuits ingredients:
- Blanched Almond Flour
- Eggs
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Baking powder & salt
How to make these Almond Flour Biscuits:
You want to start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then turn the oven on to preheat… I like to melt the butter in an oven safe dish while it’s preheating.
But you could always melt it in the microwave,
Once butter is melted remove from oven and stir in cream cheese till creamy.
Add this to the rest of the ingredients and stir to combined.
Drop on baking sheet using a cookie scoop or spoon.
Bake in oven till light, fluffy and golden brown.
How to store these Almond Flour biscuits:
I like to store them in the fridge in a covered container for up to a week.
And then warm them in the oven prior to serving….
Although I have been know to eat them right out of the fridge cold and still they’re quite yummy! 😊
You can also freeze them for even longer storage.
Ways to serve these biscuits:
They do go great with salads or as a side for almost any meal.
And you can serve them with butter and a little jam for breakfast… or whatever your favorite toppings.
They’re also great with an egg or cheese.
Personally though I like to just snack on them since they’re satisfying and just one will hold you over really good as a snack.

This recipe was very easy to whip up and made 12 nice size biscuits. Since I had all of the ingredients on hand, I plunged forward realizing in hindsight that 3 eggs is a whole lotta eggs! And I am not an egg lover! So, though tender and beautiful to look at, they tasted too eggy for my tastes.
Hi Marilyn, not sure Why they would have tasted “eggy”? You could always try with one less egg and see how that works for you.
Made them into shortcakes for strawberries… I just added 2 TBS of monkfruit to keep them keto! Thanks for the recipe!!
You’re welcome Renee and I love that idea!😘
Can this recipe be done without cream cheese? Or do I need a substitute? Thank you.
I haven’t personally tested the recipe without cream cheese, so I can’t say for sure.. I know one reader said they had success using greek yogurt in place of cream cheese. And yes you would want to use some kind of substitute for the cream cheese. Let me know if you try them and what worked for you.
Everybody in the house loved these! I didn’t follow any of the mixing directions and it turned out great! Always nice to find a recipe that my kid with dissacharide intolerance can have.
Glad to hear your family loved these! Thanks for stopping by to let me know!😘
So good!!! Just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
You’re welcome Samantha!😘
These buscuits were amazing! Thank You! Will be a favorite in our home! Very Easy!
Yay and You’re welcome!😘
Could ghee be used instead of cream cheese? Paleo diet so no you hurt or plant based cheeses…
Hi Debbie, Since I haven’t tested the recipe using ghee instead of cream cheese I can’t say for sure. Let me know if you try it and how they turn out.
There is an almond milk cream cheese by kite hill that would probably work for you.
Looks awesome but why do 2oz rather than tablespoon or cups. Trying to figure out it?
Sorry.
Hi Nadira, I believe most of the blocks of cream cheese labels it by ounces so that’s why I state ounces in the recipe card… But assuming you’re using a tub of cream cheese then 2 ounces is approximately 4 tablespoons.
Thank you so much for replying, I have containers of cream cheese and I checked online the conversion for 2 oz , they say .25 which I’m assuming is 1/4 of a cup, however their conversion is 2oz = 2 tbs so that’s why I’m confused. Sorry I’m Canadian.
You’re welcome! And yes it would be 1/4 cup or 4 tablespoons.
Before my days of low carb I made chicken and dumplings with a bisquick recipe. Do you think these would work dropped in a hot pot of chicken for the dumplings?
Hi Gina, since I haven’t personally tested that myself I can’t say for sure… but I really love the idea. So if you try it, please let me know how it works out!
The biscuits turned out good! Almost tasted like cornbread. Next time I would double the recipe because I only got 6 biscuits and followed recipe exact! Also, I would add a little more salt! Thank you for this gluten free option!!
You’re welcome Sabrina and the number of biscuits can vary based on the size you make them!
Yum! The texture reminds us of a pound cake. They were great hot with butter. The easy, 6-ingredient recipe will allow me to make these for breakfast – egg, cheese, and sausage biscuits. Can’t wait! We also had a couple with Walden Farms sugar-free strawberry syrup. They were very reminiscent of biscuits with strawberry jam. Delish!
Yay! So glad you’re Enjoying the biscuits Tee!😘
I can’t do grains or dairy… these sound so good, but I gotta find a sub for the cream cheese! I’m sure I could use coconut oil instead of butter, or even the occasional ghee, but cream cheese… hmmm.
You could try a dairy free cream cheese! Let me know if you try it and how they turn out!
I made these biscuits, but must have put too much cream cheese, they had something missing, I’m pretty sure I put salt, but wouldn’t swear to it😂, they spread out too much, I think I over measured the 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder. But I will definitely be trying them again😞
Sorry it didn’t work out for you Brenda! Let me know if you need help troubleshooting the recipe! ❤️
Added some shredded cheese, and omg amazing! I never want to make them without shredded cheese again – so good.
Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
And I forgot to add a star rating…
Thanks for taking the time to do that! 😍
You’re welcome Stephanie! 😘
Very good recipe! I was so happy to find a recipe that turns out! Used them to eat with beef stew 😋
Thanks Katolyn! Glad to hear they worked out for you! ❤️
I tried these today – I made them exactly as directed minus I added a few slices such as onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. They were fantastic and perfect in my low carb breakfast sandwich. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re Welcome and Thanks so much for stopping by to let me know. 😘
Thank you for the recipe! I’m not a big fan of any sort of cheese so I substituted with 3 and 1/2 ounces of Greek yogurt and added 1/4 tsp baking soda. Turned out amazingly soft, fluffy, and buttery. New family favorite!
You’re welcome Myron! So glad to hear that the substitutions worked out for you! I always have Greek yogurt in the fridge as well so I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know 😀
These are delicious. I used a smaller scoop so they made 24 the first time and 29 the second time. I sprinkled a little garlic powder and onion powder to make them a little savory. This time I tried 2 tsp butter and 2 tbsp coconut oil. Delicious with butter, or cur open and melting some cheese. Only trouble is they taste too good so be careful. 2 total carbs, 8 g of fat and 2 grams of protein when you make 29.
Thanks Diane 😀 So glad to hear that you’re Enjoying these.
I just made these biscuits, they’re FANTASTIC!!! Especially when I don’t feel well, I like toast or muffins, these were the perfect addition to my low carb eating now. I’ll be making them much more!
I’m so glad to hear that you Enjoyed these Kyle and Thanks for taking the time to stop by and let me know 🙂 🙂
I bet the cream cheese in these biscuits keeps them nice and soft. They look mighty tasty and I’d love to try your recipe!
Oh wow these look delicious! I can see me snacking on these all day long, can’t wait to give them a go! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow! These are so amazing,wonderful cookies! I bake cookies regularly ,will try your recipe next!

These biscuits look perfect as a side dish or for snacking! Love that they only have six ingredients and are so quick to make too!
I have a bag of almond flour just waiting for this recipe! Love it!
