Grain Free Keto Cinnamon Biscuits, with a crunchy cinnamon butter topping, are gluten free, sugar free and low carb. You will LOVE these biscuits.
I work out several mornings a week in classes (dance and weight training). My mind wonders and runs free to think about recipes. This idea took fire right in the middle of the dance floor and I couldn’t wait to get home to see if it would work.
I’m still amazed of the baking paradigm shift that almond flour provides.
I started with my basic grain-free biscuit recipe, a great base to play with, like I did with with the grain free cheddar biscuits and grain free sweet potato biscuits.
Made with a combination of alternative flours (almond flour, coconut flour, golden flax meal) and egg whites, the texture is just right with a crispy outside and a fluffy crumb in center. My customers love these. My students in the baking classes love these.
I added a cinnamon butter mixture and on my first try, these came better than my expectations. Unlike my cheddar biscuits, these are flatter, like a pastry and deliciously crunchier.
Ingredients for Grain Free Keto Cinnamon Biscuits
- Egg Whites
- Blanched Almond Flour
- Coconut Flour
- Golden Flax Meal
- Baking Powder
- Swerve (or your choice powdered erythrtol)
- Cinnamon
- Butter
The Process
The easy part is assembling the dry ingredients.
The egg whites will need to be whipped for quite a few minutes. You can take the time to separate 8 to 10 eggs, but I use boxed egg whites. These are a great time saver. Plus, you will end up with a lot of egg yolks you need to do something with.
While the egg whites are in the kitchen aid, I assemble my dry ingredients and make a cinnamon topping.
You will end up with something that looks more like a batter than a dough. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop 12 rounds of biscuit on prepared sheet pan. This is going to look like it’s not going to work. Just use a teaspoon and add the cinnamon butter to the top of the biscuit and bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the bottom part of the oven at 425 degrees F. 220 C.
You have a choice for a glaze. It’s not really necessary, and since Swerve confectioner’s is pricey, you can opt out.
How to Freeze Grain Free Keto Cinnamon Biscuits
Put grain free cinnamon biscuits into Freezer bags,(they can touch) and freeze up to 3 months. Defrost in Fridge or on counter. If you want right away, microwave, but be careful you only do so for about 10 seconds or you will make the biscuit too tough.

Looks so good. Really need to try this. One question. What is the best to use in baking to get away from the grittiness of the grains used? Or is there a hint in the mixing to fix that problem. My husband always says it is gritty when cooked. Would appreciate any help. thank you
Carol
Texture should not be gritty. Do you use blanched almond flour? That should take of any grittiness.
What kind of boxed egg whites do you use?
I’ve used various brands from the grocery store.
Angela, in the first part of the recipe you say 1 teaspoon tablespoon. Must be a typo. What is that suppose to be?
Thanks
Thank you. I meant to say 2 teaspoons baking powder! So sorry. I was writing this the day I had a fever. Thanks for catching.
