How to Make Keto Crack Biscuits
Quick Overview
Keto Crack Biscuits are as easy as they are delicious—no yeast, no waiting for dough to rise, and only about 35 minutes from start to finish, including baking time. The simple, one-bowl method and straightforward ingredients make this a stress-free recipe for even the busiest home cooks. Savory bacon, two types of cheese, and the distinctive ranch kick create fluffy biscuits with a tender crumb and golden, cheesy tops.
Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs
- 1 (1-oz) packet dry Ranch dressing mix
- 1.5 cups superfine almond flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
- To the melted cheese mixture, add baking powder, eggs, Ranch mix, and almond flour. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cooked bacon. Mix until distributed evenly.
- Spray a 10-inch iron skillet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Divide the dough into 11 or 12 equal portions and shape them into balls. Place them evenly in the prepared skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes—this helps the dough set and prevents the biscuits from spreading too much while baking.
- Remove the skillet from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven. For an extra touch, brush the warm biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley, if desired.
What to Serve With
Keto Crack Biscuits are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of dishes. For breakfast, serve them alongside scrambled eggs or a hearty breakfast casserole. At lunch or dinner, they’re perfect with a steaming bowl of soup or chili, or as a side to your favorite grilled chicken or steak. Hosting a brunch? Set these biscuits on the table next to crisp salads, roasted veggies, or a cheese platter. For drinks, try a glass of unsweetened iced tea or sparkling water with lemon to keep things light and refreshing.
Top Tips for Perfecting Keto Crack Biscuits
- For extra flavor, try swapping cheddar for pepper jack cheese or adding chopped jalapeños for a bit of heat.
- If you don’t have an iron skillet, a well-greased baking dish works as a substitute—just watch your baking time as it may vary.
- Don’t skip chilling the dough! This helps the biscuits hold their shape and ensures a tender center.
- Using parchment paper at the bottom of your skillet makes for easier cleanup.
- Double the recipe and freeze the extra biscuits for a quick, flavorful snack anytime.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Keto Crack Biscuits store beautifully for meal prep or leftovers. Allow any uneaten biscuits to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop one or two biscuits in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or warm them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore their cheesy goodness. If you want to freeze them, place cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. To enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat as above for a fresh-from-the-oven feel.
FAQs
Are Keto Crack Biscuits gluten-free?
Yes! Since they’re made with almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour, they’re completely gluten-free.
Can I substitute coconut flour for almond flour?
I don’t recommend it for this recipe—coconut flour absorbs a lot more liquid and could change the texture. Stick with superfine almond flour for best results.
What brand of dry Ranch mix works best?
Any store-bought packet will do, but opt for a low-sodium variety if you’re watching your salt intake.
Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! Mix up the dough, form the biscuits, then refrigerate covered for up to 24 hours before baking.
Can I make these biscuits dairy-free?
You’ll need to experiment with dairy-free cheese alternatives and a dairy-free cream cheese sub, but the texture may change. If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
