These Keto Biscuits Are The Perfect Base For Low-Carb Strawberry Shortcake

If you're anything like me, summer has you dreaming about strawberry shortcake made with from-scratch biscuits, the ripest berries, and homemade whipped cream. Sounds dreamy, right?

But for anyone on the keto diet—or simply watching their refined-carb intake—the thought can be downright depressing. Sure, fresh strawberries are still on the table, and even whipped cream if you forgo the sugar. But biscuits? They're about as high-carb as foods come.

To keep your total carb intake low (so you can stay in that fat-burning state known as ketosis), the best keto biscuit recipes forgo traditional flour for high-fiber and high-fat ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, and healthy fats like grass-fed butter or avocado oil. This not only helps you hit your keto macros, but it ups your intake of some awesome nutrients as well.

Almond flour is packed with vitamin E and magnesium, coconut flour has fiber to keep blood sugar balanced and boost the health of your microbiome, and glorious eggs are a potent source of choline, vitamin K2, and biotin, among other nutrients.

This mug biscuit is one of the simplest recipes you'll ever make—just mix and cook in the same cup—and it's made with super-clean ingredients. Keep in mind, one mug yields two servings, each of which packs 6 grams of filling protein, 16.5 grams of fat, and just 4.5 total carbs.
