Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1½ cups almond flour (fine, blanched)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
Why These Ingredients Work
Almond flour provides a soft, bread-like texture while staying low-carb. Eggs and cheese add structure and richness, while butter and sour cream keep the biscuits moist and fluffy.
Ingredient Notes
- Almond Flour: Use fine almond flour for the best texture. Almond meal will make biscuits dense.
- Cheese: Mozzarella melts smoothly and adds fluffiness without overpowering flavor.
- Butter: Unsalted butter lets you control the salt level.
- Sour Cream: Adds moisture and a subtle tang that mimics classic biscuits.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. This evenly distributes the leavening for fluffy biscuits.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, melted butter, and sour cream to the bowl. Stir until a thick, creamy batter forms.
Step 4: Fold in the Cheese
Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella. The dough will be sticky and soft — that’s exactly what you want.
Step 5: Drop the Biscuits
Using a spoon or scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. No shaping needed!
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the edges feel set. The biscuits should be fluffy inside and slightly crisp outside.
Step 7: Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and enhances the buttery flavor.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, add shredded cheddar cheese or chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or chives. Want a garlic biscuit vibe? Brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder after baking. These keto drop biscuits also work well as mini biscuits — just reduce baking time by a few minutes. If the dough feels too thick, add a tablespoon of cream or almond milk. Store leftovers properly to keep them soft and fluffy for days.

Serve these biscuits:
- With scrambled eggs or omelets for breakfast
