Can you make keto biscuits with cottage cheese?

Yes! Cottage cheese adds moisture, protein, and structure without raising the carb count. It's ideal for keto biscuits, keeping them tender and fluffy while boosting their nutritional value.

Are these biscuits gluten-free and low-carb?

Absolutely. This recipe uses coconut flour instead of wheat, making the biscuits naturally gluten-free and low in carbohydrates—perfect for a keto-friendly lifestyle.

Can I bake these keto cheddar biscuits without an air fryer?

You can! Simply use an oven preheated to 350°F. Place the dough in greased ramekins or muffin tins and bake for about 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

What’s the difference between almond flour and coconut flour in keto baking?

Coconut flour is more absorbent and requires fewer quantities than almond flour. It's also nut-free, making it a great choice for allergy-friendly baking. If substituting, you’ll need to adjust the amount and moisture.
