These Bacon Cheese Coconut Flour Biscuits are an excellent snack, breakfast, or special fat bomb treat you will love. While not a traditional biscuit, they are a flavorful treat full of bacon and cheese goodness.
Bacon Cheese Coconut Flour Biscuits
My husband and older kids love my Keto Sausage Ball Recipe. Recently, when they requested that I make a batch for breakfast, I was out of breakfast sausage so I thought I’d try making a batch with crispy bacon instead. I wasn’t sure just how crispy the bacon would stay in the batter, but I was hopeful, so I gave it a try.
The resulting bacon cheese coconut flour biscuits turned out delicious with a crispy outside and a cheesy bacon-y (is that even a word) inside, which is the perfect combination for a delightful breakfast. I know that many people get tired of plain eggs when following a Keto or Low Carb lifestyle, so these different coconut flour biscuits are a fabulous alternative, and they freeze and reheat well.

Sometimes I am asked if a recipe can be made using almond flour instead. While I am sure it would work well for most, we have nut allergies in our home and do not experiment with those flours. However, after doing a little research, I found that 1/4 coconut flour is generally equivalent to 1 cup of almond flour. It is not an exact science, and you may need to make other adjustments.
Tip for grating cheese
Remember to use a block of cheese and shred or grate yourself for the best results. Many pre-shredded kinds of cheese contain powder flour fillers that add carbs. Here is a quick tip for grating cheese, pop it in the freezer first, so it doesn’t melt while you are trying to grate it.
Using a cookie dough scooper is a great way to make these easy bacon cheese coconut flour biscuits. They come out easily, and you don’t have to worry about the mess on your hands.

These cheesy bacon coconut flour biscuits freeze and rewarm nicely.

I would love to try. Do you think they would good with almond flour? I have only tried coconut flour once. Had the worst stomach pain for hours. ? Guess too scared to try again.
Kasey says
My oldest daughter is allergic to almonds so I have never used it. If you’d like to sub in almond flour make sure to use 4x as much.
Thanks!
Kimberly Lane says
It’s nice to know that coconut flour is 1/4 of the AMT of almond flour, cuz it’s WAY cheaper!! Thanks for teaching me that. I’m copying several of your amazing recipes. I can’t wait to try the bacon cheese bites! Kimberly

Hi – how many bites per serving in the above nutritional value? Is it just one bite? Thanks in advance!

Sharon says
Wondering if these can be made into muffins in a muffin tin.
Kasey says
Sure
Allison says
Can they be frozen and how long are they good for?
Kasey says
Yes, they can be frozen. We always eat foods in our freezer within 3-6 months.
Ashley says
I followed this recipe to the letter, but mine spread into flat cookies. Still very delicious, but not at all like your picture. Thought maybe 4 eggs was too much, or 1/3c. flour wasn’t enough. Any idea?
Kasey says
Your butter was likely still too warm causing it to spread. Next time pop the batter in the fridge a little longer. The eggs and flour measurements are on point for this recipe because coconut flour is very absorbent and you need very little of it plus you need the moisture from the eggs.
Nancy says
What is the substitution amount to just use all purpose flour?
Kasey says
I am not sure as I have only made as is. Typically you need 4x as much of regular flour but I think you would need to reduce the number of eggs as well. I would look for a similar recipe that already has regular flour in the ingredients as I can’t say for sure regular flour will work.
Stephanie says
Just made the batter for these. They’re in the fridge now… hopefully they come out good!!
Kasey says
Great! Hope you enjoyed them.
Jen says
Do you have to use sour cream or can it be left out? I’m not a fan at all.
Kasey says
I hate sour cream, but you can’t taste it in this recipe. It is used for added moisture because keto friendly flours are very dry.
Darlene Breedlove says
I don’t see sour cream in this recipe.
Kasey says
Correct
Cindy says
Is there any way to reduce the number of eggs? I can’t stand the taste but I’m not much for baking so no idea how to compensate. Thanks, they look amazing!
Kasey says
I have only tried as is.
Sue says
I put mine in fridge fir 20 minutes after mixing and had cooked butter in fridge but the biscuits still spread and we’re on the dry side.
Rachel headrick says
I love these I’ve made them several times now in mini muffins and regular muffin sizes, my boys devour them! My question is do you keep the stored in the refrigerator?
Nina Clark says
They spread a little bit when baking but they tasted great. I will leave them in the refrigerator longer next time. Awesome breakfast alternative.
.Kasey says
I’m really glad you liked them!
Patty McGrath says
What size cookie scoop?
.Kasey says
I use a small cookie scoop.
