There's nothing quite like a warm biscuit fresh from the oven. These keto buttermilk biscuits deliver the classic flavor and texture of traditional Southern biscuits while keeping carbohydrates low. Made with Victoria's Keto Flour 2.0, buttermilk powder, heavy cream, and almond milk, they're soft, flaky, and perfect for breakfast, dinner, or holiday gatherings.
There are certain foods that instantly make a house feel like home, and fresh-baked biscuits are near the top of that list. The aroma of warm butter, the golden tops, and the soft, fluffy interior bring back memories of family breakfasts, holiday dinners, and gathering around the table with the people who matter most.
One of the greatest misconceptions about eating lower carb is that you have to give up the comfort foods you love. At Nosh Niche, we believe in Food Freedom-the idea that nourishing yourself should never mean sacrificing joy, tradition, or flavor. These Keto Buttermilk Biscuits are proof that with a few thoughtful ingredient swaps, you can enjoy a classic favorite while supporting your personal wellness goals.
This recipe was inspired by the comforting Southern baking traditions celebrated by Food & Festivities and the reliable baking techniques popularized by America's Test Kitchen. Rather than recreating those recipes, this version adapts those ideas into a low-carb biscuit using keto-friendly ingredients and methods that produce tender, flaky results.
Flavor Profile
These biscuits have a delicate buttery flavor with a subtle tang from the buttermilk powder. They're soft and fluffy inside with lightly crisp, golden edges. The stevia provides just enough sweetness to balance the richness without making the biscuits taste sweet.
They're equally delicious served alongside hearty meals or enjoyed with breakfast.

Keto Buttermilk Biscuits (Fluffy Southern-Style Low-Carb Biscuits with a Tender Buttery Crumb)
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to **425°F (218°C)**. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the keto flour, stevia, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and buttermilk powder until evenly combined.
- Pour the heavy cream and almond milk into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to help keep the biscuits tender.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface using a small amount of keto flour. Fold the dough over itself three to four times to help create flaky layers.
- Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Using a biscuit cutter, press straight down into the dough without twisting. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with the sides just touching for taller biscuits.
- Gather the remaining dough, gently reshape, and cut additional biscuits.
- Bake for **15–18 minutes**, or until the tops are lightly golden and the biscuits are cooked through.
- If desired, brush the tops with melted butter immediately after baking for extra flavor and a beautiful finish.
- Allow the biscuits to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
