Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the sour cream and melted butter until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese (and parsley if using) until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using an ice cream scoop or a spoon, drop generous portions of the biscuit dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring there’s space between each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- While cheddar cheese is a popular choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or even feta.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped jalapeños, bacon bits, or herbs of your choice.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven before serving.
FAQ
- Can I use only almond flour? Yes, but the texture might vary slightly. If omitting coconut flour, increase almond flour by 1/4 cup.
- How can I make them dairy-free? Substitute the butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free cheese. Instead of sour cream, a dairy-free yogurt can be used.
- Is there a nut-free option? Sunflower seed flour can be an alternative to almond flour, but the flavor and texture may change slightly.
