What Are Almond Flour Biscuits?

Almond flour biscuits are a gluten-free, low-carb alternative to traditional biscuits made with wheat flour. Instead of relying on gluten for structure, this recipe uses a combination of binding agents like psyllium husk and xanthan gum to mimic that classic biscuit texture.

The result is a biscuit that’s slightly more dense than traditional versions but still soft, fluffy, and satisfying.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
• 1 ¾ cup fine almond flour
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 tsp salt

How To Make Almond Flour Biscuits

Serve Warm:
Enjoy fresh with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.

Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth and fully combined.

Add the Dry Ingredients:
Stir in the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a thick dough forms.

Portion the Dough:
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. Lightly press it into the scoop, then release onto the prepared baking surface. Space biscuits about 1 inch apart.

Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Finish with Butter (Optional):
Brush with melted butter during the last 5 minutes of baking or immediately after removing from the oven.

Use a cookie scoop and press the biscuit dough into the base. Drop the scoop onto the parchment paper and repeat until you get all eight biscuits made. Place them about an inch apart and DO NOT flatten them!

Bake them in a fully pre-heated oven of 350 F. Mine cooked and set in about 25 minutes. Around the last five minutes, I like to brush them with some melted butter. I do this again after they come out of the oven as well.

Serve them warm, slice in half, and add butter, or try adding delicious chorizo sausage gravy for a fun kick on biscuits and gravy.

Tips for the Best Almond Flour Biscuits

• Use Fine Almond Flour: This gives you a smoother, more traditional biscuit texture.
• Don’t Skip the Binders: Psyllium husk and xanthan gum are key for structure—without them, the biscuits may fall apart.
• Let the Dough Rest Briefly: A 2–3 minute rest helps the psyllium husk absorb moisture and firm up the dough.
• Avoid Overbaking: Almond flour can dry out quickly, so pull them once the tops are lightly golden.

Flavor Variations to Try

Everything Bagel Style: Sprinkle everything seasoning on top before baking.

Cheddar + Chive: Add shredded cheddar and chopped chives for a savory twist.

Garlic Herb: Mix in garlic powder and Italian seasoning for a dinner-ready side.

Sweet Version: Add a touch of sweetener and vanilla for a breakfast-style biscuit.
