- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) full-fat sour cream or full-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
- 1 cup (100 grams) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) shredded cheddar cheese, or any type of shredded cheese
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
How to Prepare Keto Biscuit Muffins
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray. You can use either a 12-cup muffin tin or a 24-cup mini muffin tin, depending on your preference.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the large egg, full-fat sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt), melted butter, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Once blended, add the shredded cheese and stir until evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the baking powder and almond flour to the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon, mixing just until the batter is fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tougher muffins.
- Fill the Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about halfway. This allows room for the muffins to rise without overflowing.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 14 to 17 minutes. The muffins are done when they are set in the center and have a light golden color on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them warm with a pat of butter for an extra touch of richness. This recipe yields 1 dozen regular-sized muffins or 24 mini muffins, perfect for sharing or enjoying individually.
These Keto Biscuit Muffins offer a perfect blend of buttery richness and moist texture, making them a standout addition to your low-carb repertoire. The use of almond flour ensures they remain keto-friendly without compromising on flavor or satisfaction. Whether you’re serving them alongside a hearty breakfast, incorporating them into a savory brunch spread, or enjoying them as a quick snack, these muffins deliver consistently delightful results. Their versatility allows you to experiment with different cheeses or add-ins to customize them to your taste. Embrace the simplicity and deliciousness of these muffins, and enjoy a guilt-free treat that your family and friends will love.
