Garlic Cheese Biscuits - Wheat Free/Grain Free/Sugar Free

 Garlic Cheese Biscuits


Have you ever had the biscuits at Red Lobster?  Don't you love those?  These ones are very similar but without all the gluten and carbs.

2 C almond flour
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t salt
2 t baking powder
3 T butter
1 C cheddar
1 egg
1/2 C whole milk

Grate the cheddar, I used about half regular cheddar and half extra sharp white cheddar.  I think next time I will make it with just the regular cheddar, the orange color would make it look more cheddar-y.  I might also add about 1/4 t dried parsley to get the herb-y look that the Red Lobster biscuits have.   Mix all dry ingredients, add butter and cheese and mix until it's evenly distributed, then add the milk and egg.
If you have a medium sized (1 T scoop) that makes perfectly shaped biscuits, if not, use a couple of large spoons to drop them onto a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake around 20 min at 350 degrees or until just barely browned on top.  To the left is the biscuits going into the over, to the right is coming out.

This made 14 biscuits:  142 calories, 4.4 grams carbohydrates, 1.7 grams fiber
