  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp olive oil for sautéing
For the Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning optional
For the Wet Ingredients & Cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

Prepare Vegetables
  1. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and yellow onion, sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the finely chopped spinach and cook until wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Combine Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, and large eggs until smooth and well combined.
Form Biscuit Dough
  1. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir with a spatula until a thick dough forms. Fold in the cooked and cooled vegetables, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
Shape and Bake
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop or your hands, form 8 equally sized biscuits (they should be about 2-2.5 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  2. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven. For extra flavor, brush the tops with a little melted butter mixed with garlic powder before baking. Feel free to experiment with other low-carb vegetables like finely chopped zucchini (squeezed dry) or mushrooms. These biscuits can also be made in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness and flipping halfway through if needed.
