Low Carb Breakfast Biscuits
The best morning breakfast that feels like a full meal all in one biscuit! My low carb breakfast biscuits are tender and filled with sausage, eggs, and cheese. Enjoy these and not have to worry about blood sugar spikes.
Low carb breakfast biscuits
2 cups almond flour (200g)
2 tsp baking powder
4 eggs beaten
2 tbsp sour cream
2 tbsp melted butter
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus extra for topping (freshly grated)
8 oz. bulk sausage
1/4 cup green onions
Preheat oven to 400f.
Brown the sausage and break into small pieces until fully cooked. Set aside.
Shred the cheddar cheese and slice the green onions.
In a large bowl mix the almond flour with the baking powder until clump free.
Beat eggs, then add the sour cream and melted butter (cooled, so that you don’t scramble your eggs) and mix until combined.
Add wet ingredients to the almond flour mixture and mix until a wet dough forms.
Add cooked sausage, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and the green onions and fold in until evenly distributed.
Using an ice cream scoop, portion out the biscuits and place the dough on a sheet pan with parchment paper. This should yield 10 biscuits.
Flatten the tops of the biscuits a little bit by pressing down on it. Then add a little bit more shredded cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for about 11-12 minutes.
Let these cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
Low carb breakfast biscuits are an excellent choice for those seeking a hearty and nutritious morning meal without the excess carbohydrates found in traditional biscuits. Using almond flour instead of wheat flour significantly reduces the carb content, making these biscuits suitable for ketogenic, diabetic-friendly, and weight loss meal plans. Almond flour not only lowers the glycemic index but also adds healthy fats and protein. These biscuits incorporate sausage, eggs, and sharp cheddar cheese, creating a high-protein and flavorful breakfast option that provides sustained energy throughout the morning. Adding green onions delivers a mild zing and essential vitamins, enhancing both taste and nutritional value. When preparing the dough, the combination of baking powder and beaten eggs ensures the biscuits rise well and remain tender inside. Including sour cream and melted butter enriches the texture, making the biscuits moist and satisfying. Using an ice cream scoop to portion the dough helps maintain consistent biscuit size, ensuring even baking. Baking at 400°F for 11-12 minutes allows the cheese topping to melt to a golden finish, adding a delicious crust. Letting the biscuits cool for five minutes improves their texture and makes them easier to handle. For those interested in customizing, chopped bacon can be added in place of or alongside sausage for a smoky twist. These biscuits can also be stored refrigerated and gently reheated, making them perfect for quick and healthy breakfasts throughout the week. Incorporating this recipe into your breakfast routine supports balanced blood sugar levels, aligns with low carb and high protein dietary goals, and contributes to weight management efforts. By choosing nutrient-dense ingredients and minimizing carbs, these biscuits provide a tasty alternative to traditional breakfast pastries.
