Low Carb/Keto Garlic Cheddar Bay Biscuit Recipe
Homemade biscuits from scratch? Who wouldn’t want that?
I’ve been thinking about how easy it would be to change up my low carb Keto Biscuit recipe to make a low carb copycat version. This version is a take on the popular chain restaurant, Red Lobster’s, Cheddar Bay Garlic Biscuits everyone goes crazy over. All I did was add in some garlic, the right seasonings, some more sharp shredded cheddar cheese and boom, Red Lobster’s copycat biscuits comin’ at ya!
I love to make these in larger batches and freeze them for a last minute dinner side dish that is easy to reheat!
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Ingredients:
- Butter, eggs, sour cream– Forms the base of your dough while adding fat and protein to your biscuits.
- Coconut flour- I use coconut flour in my keto recipes because of allergies in the family but you can use almond flour if you need. Just quadruple the amount.
- Baking Powder- This is the leavening agent that allows your biscuits to rise.
- Garlic- Freshly minced garlic cloves are a must for a super garlicky biscuit!
- Cheddar Cheese- Freshly grated cheddar cheese makes a difference! Get the best you can find for the best flavor!
Steps to make these keto copycat Red Lobster cheddar bay biscuits:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease your muffin pan.
Step 2: Combine melted butter with your eggs, sour cream, and salt and whisk.
Step 3: Add your coconut flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning and garlic and mix.
Step 4: Stir in your shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Drop batter by the spoonful into your muffin tin divided evenly among 12 tins.
Step 6: Bake your biscuits for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Serve cheesy biscuits with butter and freshly chopped parsley sprinkled over top!
How to store your keto garlic cheddar bay biscuits
While I love cooking, it is always nice to have something fast and easy on hand when it comes to any meal. Prepping these garlic cheddar biscuits ahead of time makes dinner even easier to manage and so much more enjoyable! You can store them in the fridge for a few days sealed well however I love to freeze them in large batches!
I can just grab a few out of the freezer, heat them up, and serve alongside our keto dinner.
Here are my biscuit freezing tips:
- Make double batches! Then make sure you allow them to cool completely! If not, your delicious homemade biscuits may get freezer burn. Not tasty.
- Use freezer storage bags and double bag them to keep your cheesy biscuits fresher, longer.
Keto cheddar bay biscuit tips:
This biscuit recipe is very simple and hard to mess up. However there are some tips you can follow to make sure they turn out extra delicious and super tasty!
- Finishing your biscuits by brushing them with butter and fresh parsley go a long way with flavor
- Toast your cheddar biscuits and serve with a dab of butter for added flavor and texture
- Substitute almond flour for the coconut flour if you wish. The substitute is 4x the amount of coconut flour.
- Use muffin/cupcake liners in your tins to help remove them easily.

After you bake them can you freeze them
I’m sure you could, but I haven’t personally tried.
Made these today and I couldn’t believe how easy they were! They turned out amazing and taste great. Exactly what I needed on my low carb diet. Although I may add different cheese next time to change it up lol. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Awesome! So glad you loved it.
These are so delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I substituted greek yogurt for sour cream and they turned out amazing. Since using coconut flour, I lightly oiled my muffin tin with coconut oil and they came out with ease. Definitely will be making these again! Passing the recipe along to my Aunt 🙂
Awesome. Sounds like a great sub. Glad you enjoyed it.
How long can you store them for in room temperature?
For the nutrition facts I’d that per biscuit or for all 12? Thank you! This recipe is delicious!
It is per biscuit.
We made this last night and they were fantastic! My 16 year old that knows nothing of cooking whipped them up like a pro. Easy and delish. Also added to my fitness pal with no issue! Win win win!
Fantastic! I am so glad they were easy and delicious!
Hi there,
Your recipe looks lovely and I would love to make it. I find a lot of recipes use cups as measurements and we don’t use cups here (Uk). Can you tell me what the weight is in grams. I don’t know whether it is American cups or Australian cups, it all very confusing. Many thanks

I am in the US. Hope you can find a conversion rate.
Do you use Salted or Non salted butter?
I use salted but either should be fine.
How much garlic powder to use instead of garlic cloves?
How are these Keto friendly? I thought no bread..
This is probably a dumb question but I’ll swing. 🙂 I only have a silicone muffin sheet – do you think it would be too flexible and make them fall apart?
I’ve never tried to bake on one but I think it would be OK.
I made these w/ My 6yr old Type1 Diabetic w/ Celiac Daughter and she loved them. my only addition was a small (drained) can of mild green chili. I love all you recipes.
Thank-you
Glad you enjoyed them. My 15 yr old and my hubby are both type 1 as well.
Do I need a substitute for the Italian Seasonings? They give me heartburn. Just needed to know if the tablespoon needs to be replaced with something else. I’ve made a different version of these that I like but these seem like they might be a little more flavorful even without the Italian seasonings. Thanks!
Hey Reggie, I have only tried with the Italian seasoning.
I use 6 six inch egg cups to make it more like loaf bread. I cook them about 12 mins on parchment paper and then remove the cups. Then I flip them over and bake five more minutes. This makes them crispy! Once cool I slice them horizontally. I keep them in the fridge and then toast them when I want a sandwich. Because they have egg and cheese already in them a slice of tomato lettuce and bacon make a perfect lunch. Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Glad you enjoy it!!
Used to make these all the time, have been getting really flat circles lately. Don’t know what I’m messing up. Can old coconut flour cause this?
Are you using the muffin pan? Perhaps your baking powder is old. That can happen.
