Cheesy-Cheese Garlic Biscuits (Grain-Free Red Lobster Biscuits)

February 22, 2012 By satisfyingeats 127 Comments

BTRLB 
 

Biscuits…. revisited!  I have made a COUPLE THOUSAND of these little jewels since I first posted this recipe over 1 year ago! These beauties were the #1 sellers at the Farmer’s Market and I would make 12-15 dozen twice a month and usually sold out!  Yeah, they are that good! People who didn’t even care about “Grain-Free” or “Low-Carb” LOVED these biscuits! I say this recipe is a WINNER for everyone!! 019 044 What can I say, like most southern girls, I love biscuits and I consider myself a biscuit expert!  I grew up in rural Georgia, Aline to be exact. We lived across the street from a sweet lady we called “Ms. PeeWee” and she made biscuits EVERYDAY!  She made a large fried biscuit out of buttermilk and bacon drippings that she prepared in a cast iron skillet. We called it a Hoe Cake.  It was so good. This is not Ms. PeeWee’s Hoe Cake but it is just as good! These biscuits actually remind me of those at Red Lobster, and I have been told by many they feel the same. All the flavor without any grains and low carbs!  I can eat these without going into a diabetic coma afterwards! (And I can have more than ONE!!) Red Lobster Garlic Cheese Biscuits have 16 grams of carbs vs. the small version of my biscuits have 1 Net Carb!

The crunchy bottom crust!

About the recipe

MAKE extras!!!  These are great at any meal and freeze well!!  Pop them in your toaster to reheat!  Also, the key is using a good quality, sharp cheddar cheese.  Don’t buy the pre-shredded stuff.  Read the list of ingredients, there is more than cheese in the bag!! ;-( Also, if using heavy whipping cream, be sure it doesn’t contain carrageenan. And for sour cream, the only ingredient should be cream. If you can get cultured sour cream, even better!

This biscuit is not for those avoiding dairy. The more dairy I added, the better the biscuits tasted! lol  Be sure to finish them with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of parsley.  Delicious and B-E-A-UTIFUL!! I started using parchment paper when baking these biscuits because it was an easier clean up but you won’t have the golden brown bottoms. It is up to you. Either way, they will taste wonderful.  If you don’t use parchment paper, you will just need to use a sturdy spatula to remove the biscuits. SIZE doesn’t matter when making these biscuits.  I usually do make the medium size biscuits using this MEDIUM scoop.  Or you can use a small scoop to make more biscuits.  The small biscuits would be great for a party, sliced and stuffed with meat and cheese! I have used these as hamburger buns or for an egg and cheese biscuit!  Just give these babies a try!

NOTE: If you have made this recipe before, be sure to look at my notes.  I have changed the baking times and gave more specific instructions.

Baking Tip: Using a dark pan verses an aluminum or reflective pan will give your biscuits more rise. Variations: Add crumbled bacon and chives to the batter. 

5/29/14: Recipe update. I added an extra 1 tbsp. of almond flour to this recipe and the biscuits rose more (the dough was slightly thicker so they didn’t spread out. (The extra tbsp. has been added to the recipe below.)



 

NUT-Free Option: Use sunflower seed flour in the place of almond flour. It works Beautifully!

    • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or pure sour cream, I use sour cream now)
    • 1 egg, cold
    • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (around 2 oz)
    • 2 tbsp. butter, softened (I used salted)
    • ***Finish with Salted butter & dried or fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients. Then add remaining ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until well blended. Use medium scoop (3 tbsp.) to scoop out dough onto un-greased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (or not, see notes above). Space 2-3 inches a part.

    Bake for 16-20 minutes or until biscuits have slightly browned on the bottoms and tops. Once out of oven, smear a bit of salted butter and sprinkle with a little parsley. Best served warm.

    Mpmom, could you use another nut flour??? I am not a fan of all coconut flour in a biscuit but I am sure you could use pecan flour or make them when he isn't home because they are that good! 😉 Maybe try 1 tbsp extra coconut flour in the place of the almond??? Let me know if you try it with another flour and how it works! Sorry I couldn't be more help!

    Hi Melissa,I just had a Zuchini Mini-Muffin w/ Cheesecake Frosting (ok, yes, I had dessert first…), & now I'm having these Fabulous! biscuits for the first time, and with a fennel salad I just put together. Question: I use a Silpat on a cookie sheet & did so this time with this recipe–do you use one? Also, is there some reason that using a plain un-greased cookie sheet might be better? If so, I'll do it that way next time.Thanks for this recipe! I can hardly wait for your cookbook!

I still get some brown on the bottom (which is what I want), do they brown on bottom using mat? Oh, by the way, I like eating dessert first! 😉 So glad you are excited about cookbook! 😉

    I tried these biscuits tonight for the first time, and….WOW!!! I am a happy girl!!! My kids loved them too! I am soooo excited that I found your blog!!!

    I have been gluten free for almost a year and low carb for two and a half years, and have been disappointed in the results of most things that use coconut flour alone or almond flour alone. I have thought all along that if I could figure out how to mix the flours that I would have better results, but I am not one to really experiment in the kitchen much. When I found your blog I was so excited!!

    I have tried your banana nut bread and now these biscuits. I could eat either one of those for breakfast, lunch and supper several days in a row and not be tired of them!! I wanted to wait until I had tried some of your recipes before I bought your cookbook, and now that I have tried a couple I will be buying that cookbook very soon!! Thank you so much for your hard work on this blog!

    I just made a batch of these for the first time.
    Mine were a bit bigger than yours: 4 “normal” sized, and 1 small sized. They took about 20 minutes to bake thoroughly, but came out really well.
    Next time I’ll make the 9 small ones so that they go farther / last longer.

    Can’t wait to try variations on these. The comment about making them in mini-muffin tins is such a great idea.

    Hi Melissa, this is Gary from Wheat-Free Market Foods. I just made these at home and they are DELICIOUS! I have one note… do you ever use psyllium husk powder? I am thinking I will try these again by reducing the coconut flour by one tablesppon and replacing with 1-2 teaspoons of psyllium husk powder. I like the coconut flour texture but I get a mild taste of coconut. When I was a wheateater I used to LOVE Red Lobster’s biscuits. Anyway, you really nailed it here!!!

    • satisfyingeats says

      August 30, 2013 at 8:23 pm

      Thanks Gary for the wonderful compliment! I loved Red Lobster biscuits too, and now I can eat them anytime I want! 😉 I haven’t used psyllium husk in any of my recipes. I found that some people can’t use it so it is just easier to not include it in recipes, and it’s one less ingredient to worry about! Try adding about 2 tbsp or so more of grated Parmesan cheese and even add more grated cheese to the batter. That should offset any mild coconut flavor! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked them, it means a lot!

    Do these freeze well, before and after baking? I am thinking of making a big batch and freezing before baking, but don’t know how well the sour cream would hold up in the freezer. Might be better to freeze after baking?

      September 2, 2013 at 11:41 pm

      These freeze very well after baking! I have never thought to try freezing before baking, but my guess would be that it would work because everything would be mixed together. I would not think there would be a problem with the sour cream that way. If you try it, please post your results. I’d be interested to see how it works!

        Hey Rachel, glad you enjoyed them! I haven’t frozen them prior to baking so let me know how they turn out! I have refrigerated dough before and then baked it and they didn’nt rise so I am guessing a similar outcome but maybe try just one to see. After baking the do freeze well.

    I made these yesterday, and they were so good I almost literally cried! I have been less than satisfied with most biscuits and baked goods I have tried that do not use traditional flour. Today, I wanted to make some more, but was out of sour cream and cream. I had a whole lot of Greek yogurt, so I decided to try substituting it. It worked fabulously! I could not tell a difference in the two! My kids and husband loved these as well, so I need to freeze the leftovers right after they cool, or there won’t be any leftovers. I thought about using these for a pot pie topping, minus the garlic. I look forward to trying more of your recipes.

I have not tried it with this specific recipe but I would try equal parts of ground pumpkin or sunflower seeds instead of the almond flour. I did this with my Triple Chocolate Cookie Cake and the recipe turned out delicious! I would use the sunflower seeds here so you won’t have green biscuits.

    Are we supposed to “flatten these before baking? I used the medium scoop and the muffin top pan – half way through baking time I checked and they were still tall, round blobs, figured with all the fat in them that they would flatten out on their own. So I flattened them some then which only resulted in making them too thin to split for egg sandwiches I was planning on using them for. They were very tasty anyway.
    Also am kind of “there with Diane” on all the recipes with almond flour here that I have tried although I have frequently used it, with no problems before, using recipes from Laura Dobson:

    I have made these twice now. The first time I followed the recipe and loved them. The second time I cut back on the garlic and added 1/2 a cup of cooked, crumbled pork sausage. They were yummy! I might try again with even more sausage to see if they will be more like a bisquick sausage ball. I think they would be great to grab for breakfast at work. Thanks for your recipes. I have enjoyed trying them out.

    Great recipe. My palate might be overly sensitive to coconut (a flavor I don’t love) since I could taste even this small amount, but if I hadn’t made them I wonder if I would have noticed. Next time I’ll cut back a smidge on the garlic/salt as it was a bit overwhelming, and definitely add bacon and chives. Thanks for this!

My mom always made hoecake that way as well and I got in a huge discussion with someone last weekend who said it was always cornbread! Must be a regional thing (I’m in FL just over Ga line!).

      Mary, I HEART hoecake and yes, people call hoecake different things but to me a hoecake is a big fried buttermilk biscuit. I haven’t had it in a while but even typing the words reminds me of being a little girl! 😉 I hope you enjoy the recipe for these garlic biscuits!

    It will be a few more carbs but I’m going to replace the almond flour with oat flour. I’m allergic to almonds. Hopefully, they will come out nicely. Good item to bake for T-Day!

      Lynette, they can be unrefrigerated for the day as long as it is not hot and humid. Anything longer than 1 day requires cold storage.

    Have you ever substituted sharp cheddar for the mozzarella on the Southern Biscuits? I loved the texture of the Southern biscuits, but thought we could make them with the sharp cheddar tonight.

    Question. I made these once and they turned out great. This time, they aren’t wanting to set. Was the 2 TBSP of salted butter supposed to go IN the biscuits, or just on top? I don’t remember what I did last time, but this time I put it in. Thanks!

      Staci, the 2 tbsp of butter goes into the biscuits. You can put extra butter on top after you remove biscuits from oven. Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Please forgive me if this questions has been asked before. So you add the 2 TBS softened butter with the wet ingredients into the batter, then use additional butter for the tops? Or is the TBS butter for the tops only?? Thanks! Making these for dinner right now!

    I made a double batch of these to go with dinner tonight; they were fabulous! Instead of ground almonds I used ground sunflower seeds, just pulverized them in my Magic Bullet. I’ve been trying to use SF seeds more as almonds are so expensive. The biscuits were so, so good. My husband and children loved them and they will be a staple from now on. I’m already thinking of using them as a base for biscuits and gravy…

    I tried these and they were really good but for me they were a little too salty so Im going to omit the salt and some of the cheddar cheese.
    I made a double batch and didn’t bake all of it at once so when I baked the second batch about an hour later I put them in convention oven setting and scooped them a little smaller and they didn’t get flat at all and they looked like the ones from Red lobster. I’m going to try this again and see if they bake the same because I liked how the second batch came out.

    Just made these for the 2nd time tonight, and they look like biscuits! (miniature ones, but still biscuits, with some height, the shaggy look and all! 🙂 ). They also taste great! 🙂
    The first time I made these I didn’t have any parm, and used my own “homemade” coconut flour (which is grittier and doesn’t absorb liquids as well), PLUS I completely forgot about even considering if I needed to make any high altitude adjustments! lol They predictably turned out well . . . flatter than the ones in your picture. 🙂 Tho’ still tasted good.

    Tonight, I finally had the right almond flour, the right coconut flour, fresh shredded Parm, plus all the other ingredients ready to go. And I remembered to make altitude adjustments! I think these turned out just about perfect, making 10 1/2 small (1 Tbsp) biscuits.

    I thought I’d share my tweaks, in case it would be helpful for others high altituders.
    My altitude: just over 6,000 ft. What I did: reduced butter to 1 1/2 Tbsp., added 1 packed tsp of powdered natural protein whey concentrate, and 1 tsp arrowroot powder. Increased oven temp to 375F, baked for 13 min (small biscuits) on parchment paper, in a jelly roll pan.

    Any ideas on how to make a “less flavorful” biscuit for kiddos?? Mine are looking for the old, familiar “baking powder” ones and were too picky for the parmesan and garlic flavor. I know the garlic is easy to take out, but the parmesan seems more important. Any links or ideas would be great! Thanks!

    I am so excited to try this recipe! My 3 year old daughter has a rare genetic condition called CSID, which basically means she lacks the enzymes to process starch and sucrose. We decided as a family to go starch/ sugar free together, ( with some wiggle room on sucrose using a medication called Sucraid), so being a parent and trying to find kid friendly foods that they will actually eat has been quite a challenge. Our daughter of course loves the foods she can not eat, while our six year old son is your typical picky, I only want to eat mac and cheese and cheese crisps type of kid. This condition has probably been the hardest on our son, and I must admit there has been a few sneak and eats taken place in his room, so he can still enjoy his favorites. Finding recipes like this one is a blessing- it’s all about making things that look and taste like the traditional version, but within the confines of our new diet. Thank you from the bottom of a frustrated and often defeated Mommy’s heart, lol!

    These are FABULOUS! I had tried a blog recipe for biscuits that used only almond flour, and while they too were good, these are so much better! I can barely taste the coconut flour; I think that most people wouldn’t know it was there if you didn’t tell them. I immediately ate two of them stuffed with turkey and cheese, and I think they will make wonderful breakfast sandwiches. Amazingly tasty for a healthy bread product!

    Wow! I stumbled upon this recipe at just the right time! I’ve been eating grain-free/Paleo-ish for about 7 months now but recently have been falling off the wagon… I ate at Red Lobster a few nights ago and it was DELICIOUS but I felt like crap afterwards. The Cajun pasta there is my favorite so I will definitely be making your Cajun spaghetti along with these biscuits tomorrow night…
    For the biscuits, do you think using canned coconut milk in place of heavy cream would work? I have some that I want to use up, and I never have heavy cream on hand (it seems to be impossible to find it without carrageenan, even the organic brands at my supermarket).

I don’t think the coconut cream left much of a coconut flavor for those of you who don’t like it, I just mainly taste buttery goodness 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe Melissa!

    Hands down the best Low Carb/Keto biscuit recipe out there. Every other recipe calls for at least 3 eggs leaving the final product with a distinct egg taste. Not the case here. These biscuits also remain fluffier with a bit more body to them. I make a big batch every weekend and freeze some for use during the week. They make excellent buns for hamburgers or just plain with gravy as an entree. Really a godsend recipe for those craving baked goods on a LC diet.
