Step-by-Step

These Air Fryer Keto Cheddar Cottage Cheese Biscuits come together in minutes. Here’s how to make them:

1. Preheat air fryer. Set air fryer to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the dough.
2. Mix dry ingredients. In a bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Add wet ingredients. Stir in eggs and cottage cheese until combined.
4. Fold in cheddar. Mix in shredded cheddar until evenly distributed. The dough should be thick but scoopable.
5. Scoop the dough. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper or air fryer liner.
6. Air fry. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
7. Cool slightly. Let them cool for 2–3 minutes before serving — they’ll firm up as they rest.

You Must

To make perfect Keto Cheddar Cottage Cheese Biscuits, follow these must-do tips:

• Don’t overmix. Overmixing can make the dough dense. Stir until just combined.
• Preheat your air fryer. It ensures even cooking and golden color.
• Use fine almond flour. It gives a smoother texture than coarse almond meal.
• Line the basket. Parchment paper or an air fryer liner prevents sticking.
• Serve warm. These biscuits taste best fresh from the air fryer.

Pro Tips

1. Add herbs. Mix in dried chives, parsley, or rosemary for extra flavor.
2. Use mozzarella. Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for variety.
3. Make it spicy. Add a pinch of cayenne or diced jalapeños.
4. Double the batch. They freeze and reheat perfectly in the air fryer.
5. Brush with butter. After cooking, brush lightly with melted butter or garlic butter for an indulgent touch.
