Keto Cheddar-Chive Sour Cream Biscuits
A perfect partner to soup, salad, or our keto fried chicken, these buttery-cheesy little muffin-tin biscuits are shockingly moist and delicious. They’re simple to make and are also epic as the bread for mini ham and cheese sandwiches. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days or wrap and freeze them for grab-and-go options down the road.
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Line a muffin tin with paper cups; set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and two-third of the melted butter until fully combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined, then fold in the grated cheese and chives. Using a 1½-oz portion scoop or any spoon, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (about 3 hefty tablespoons) of batter per cup. Lightly brush the biscuit tops with the remaining melted butter.
- Bake until light golden brown on top and the centers of the biscuits springs back when gently pressed with your finger, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve.
These are great and easy to make. Good substitute for cornbread.
We use this recipe minus the chives to make bacon,egg, and cheese breakfast. We use a muffin top pan so everything fits perfectly.
I was not expecting to love this recipe, but I do! New favorite.
These are so good! I’ve been using them for eggs Benedict- I add poached egg crumbled bacon and hollandaise. It’s amazing!
I made these today and they were the best biscuits ever!!! they were so good my family asked if we can have them again for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!
We love hearing that 😍
I was surprised to discover that the muffins were too salty. I didn’t think it was possible but it was.
Sorry to hear that but everyone has a different threshold for salt.
Did you use salted butter? Often recipes are unclear, but from research unless it says to use salted butter when butter is listed it means unsalted. I wish they would specify in receipts to make it clearer.
Thanks for asking JJ. In most cases if it’s not specified, it’s salted. Usually unsalted is specified. This recipe uses salted.
Back to the question of the muffins being too salty. Did you use Sea Salt or normal (Morton’s) table salt? Table salt in finer, so it is way saltier than the big chunky sea salt. I thought maybe that might be the problem
Amazing! These will be my go-to for bread from now on!
My husband absolutely loves these amazing biscuits and they will become a household staple here. We had them with the Keto Chorizo and Beef Chili. Had to make them with medium cheddar and finely chopped green onions and even with expedient substitutions, they were great!
Hooray, AZ! They’re crazy-good, aren’t they?
great taste !! delicious
We’re thrilled you like them! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Very good
Thank you, Connie! We truly love them, too. Perfect for picnics and cookouts now and they’ll be just as fantastic on the winter-holiday dinner table!
