These fluffy, savory biscuits combine coconut and almond flour with sharp Cheddar cheese for a satisfying keto-friendly side dish. The addition of garlic powder adds a subtle savory note, while sour cream keeps them moist and tender. Perfect alongside soups, stews, or as a low-carb breakfast option. Unlike traditional biscuits, these hold together beautifully without wheat flour and have a slightly denser, more cake-like texture that's incredibly satisfying.

FAQ
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, freeze baked biscuits for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
What if I don't have coconut flour?
You cannot substitute coconut flour 1:1 with other flours as it absorbs much more liquid. The recipe would need significant adjustments.
How do I know when they're done?
The biscuits should be just firm to the touch and the cheese on top should be melted and lightly golden.
