Eggs: 2, beaten – Eggs act as a binder to hold all the ingredients together.

Making The Keto Cheddar Biscuits In The Cosori Air Fryer

Prepare the Almond Flour: Start by taking two cups of almond flour. Make sure there are no clumps in it. You can use a whisk to remove any clumps that you see. Sifting is not necessary, and using a whisk should suffice.

Add the Seasonings: To the almond flour, add two teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of onion powder, and your preferred amount of garlic powder (between half to one teaspoon). Also, add a dash of black pepper and a quarter cup of finely sliced green onions. Don’t forget to add about half a teaspoon of salt. Mix all these ingredients.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat two eggs and add half a cup of melted butter. Mix these.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and butter mixture to the flour and seasonings mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.

Add Cheese: The last ingredient is half a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix this with the rest of the ingredients.

Form the Biscuits: Now, shape the mixture into biscuits about the size of a golf ball.

Prepare for Air Frying: If you are using a perforated parchment paper liner, place your biscuits on it. If not, spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent the biscuits from sticking. Place the biscuits in the air fryer, ensuring they are not too close together.

Air Fry the Biscuits: Set your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and put the biscuits in for 15 minutes.

Cool and Serve: After the air frying, let the biscuits cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy the delicious, low-carb, keto-friendly cheddar biscuits!

Tips and Variations for Air Fryer Keto Cheddar Biscuits:

Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Sharp cheddar can be replaced with mozzarella, Colby, or even pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Herbs and Spices: You can add different herbs and spices to suit your taste. Add some dried basil, oregano, or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
Extra Protein: You could add some cooked and crumbled bacon to the biscuit dough for an extra protein boost.
Almond Flour Substitute: You can use coconut flour if you don’t have almond flour. However, remember that coconut flour absorbs more liquid than almond flour, so you may need to adjust the wet ingredients.
Checking Doneness: To ensure your biscuits are cooked through, insert a toothpick into one. If it comes out clean, they’re done.
Prevent Sticking: To prevent the biscuits from sticking to the air fryer basket, use cooking spray or a perforated parchment paper liner.
Storage: These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Reheating: To reheat, place them in the air fryer for a few minutes until they’re warmed through.
