 Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour – a low-carb, gluten-free base

• 1 tablespoon baking powder – gives the biscuits a fluffy lift

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder – adds a savory, aromatic kick

• 1/2 teaspoon salt – enhances flavor

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted – for richness and moisture

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – sharp or mild, your choice

 Step-by-Step Instructions

 Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.

 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Almond flour

• Baking powder

• Garlic powder

• Salt

• Tip: Sift the almond flour for a smoother texture.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Stir in the following:

• Melted butter

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Eggs

• Heavy cream

Mix well until a soft dough forms.

Step 4: Fold in the Crab & Herbs

Gently fold in:

• Flaked crab meat

• Chopped parsley

Be careful not to overmix—this helps keep the crab pieces intact and the biscuits tender.

 Step 5: Shape & Bake

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto the baking sheet, forming 8 equal-sized biscuits. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon if desired.

Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

 Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the pan before serving. Enjoy them warm with melted butter, a dollop of sour cream, or alongside a bowl of keto clam chowder.

Variations & Pro Tips

 Want More Flavor?

• Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.

• Mix in chopped chives or dill for an herbaceous twist.

 No Crab? No Problem.

• Make plain cheddar keto biscuits by omitting the crab.

• Try bacon bits or shredded rotisserie chicken for a meaty substitute.

 Dairy-Free Option

• Use dairy-free cheddar and coconut cream instead of heavy cream.

 Helpful Tips for Success

• Use fresh lump crab for best texture and flavor. Canned works in a pinch but should be well-drained.

• Do not overmix after adding the crab — keep the texture light and tender.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes to crisp them back up.
