Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder.
- Add wet ingredients. Stir in the eggs, sour cream or Greek yogurt, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar until just combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky — do not overmix.
- Shape the biscuits. Scoop 8 even portions onto the baking sheet. Gently flatten the tops slightly so they bake evenly, or leave them slightly mounded for extra height.
- Bake. Bake 13–16 minutes until the tops are golden and the biscuits feel set. Cool for a few minutes before splitting. Serve warm with butter.
Notes & Tips
- Don’t overmix — gentle stirring keeps the biscuits fluffy.
- Room-temperature eggs and yogurt help the dough come together smoothly.
- For extra lift, separate the eggs and fold in whipped whites at the end.
- These reheat well in a toaster oven or air fryer.
- Split and toast leftovers for breakfast sandwiches.
Variations & serving ideas
- Higher protein: Increase protein powder slightly and reduce almond flour a little.
- Dairy-free: Use dairy-free yogurt and oil instead of butter.
- Cheesy biscuits: Fold in ⅓ cup shredded cheddar.

- Cheddar biscuits: Fold in shredded cheddar and a pinch of garlic powder before baking.
- Everything bagel: Brush the tops with butter and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning before baking.
- Garlic herb: Add dried herbs and extra garlic powder to the dry mix.
- Drop biscuits: Skip shaping and drop rustic scoops straight onto the pan.
Storage
- Refrigerator: Up to 5 days (Store in an airtight container; reheat before serving)
- Freezer: Up to 2 months (Freeze baked biscuits; thaw and warm in the oven or air fryer)

Frequently asked questions
Are these biscuits keto-friendly?
Yes. At only 3g net carbs per biscuit they fit most keto plans.
Why are my biscuits dense?
The dough was likely overmixed. Stir just until combined so they stay light and fluffy.
Can I use coconut flour?
Not as a 1:1 swap. Coconut flour absorbs much more liquid and would require a different recipe.
How do I reheat them?
Warm in a toaster oven, air fryer, or 350°F oven for a few minutes so they stay fluffy instead of rubbery.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen or thawed.
What can I serve with them?
Butter, cream cheese, sugar-free jam, sausage gravy, or as a sandwich bun for eggs and bacon.
