Warm, savory keto pumpkin herb drop biscuits made with almond flour. Soft inside, lightly crisp edges, big herb flavor. Quick to mix, no rolling. Great for Halloween tables, soup night, or a cozy side.
2 ½ cups (250 g) blanched almond flour, fine
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp baking powder (gluten-free)
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp fine salt
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme (or 2 tsp fresh, minced)
1 tsp dried sage (or 2 tsp fresh, minced)
½ tsp dried rosemary, crushed (or 1 tsp fresh, minced)
¼ tsp black pepper
¾ cup (180 g) pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
2 large eggs, room temp
4 tbsp (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (or ghee)
2 tbsp heavy cream (or coconut cream)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan or ½ cup shredded cheddar
Topping: 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil, flaky salt, extra herbs (optional)
Heat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, rosemary, and pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk pumpkin, eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, and vinegar until smooth. Stir in cheese if using.
Pour wet mix into dry. Fold with a spatula until just combined. Dough will be thick and a bit sticky. Let it rest 2 minutes so coconut flour can absorb.
Scoop 12 mounds onto the tray using a medium scoop or two spoons. Do not flatten.
Brush tops with melted butter or oil. Sprinkle a pinch of herbs or flaky salt if you like.
Bake 13–16 minutes, until set on top and edges turn light golden.
Cool on a rack 10 minutes. Serve warm. They firm up as they cool.
If dough looks too wet, wait 2 extra minutes; add 1 tsp coconut flour only if still loose.
For dairy-free: use coconut oil and coconut cream; skip cheese or use a dairy-free meltable.
For taller biscuits: add 1 tsp more baking powder and chill dough 10 minutes before baking.
For extra crisp edges: preheat a lightly greased cast-iron skillet and drop dough into the hot pan.
Storage: fridge 4–5 days, freezer 2 months. Reheat at 325°F (165°C) until warm.
Flavor swaps: cheddar + chive; Parmesan + cracked pepper; jalapeño herb.
Herbs: double fresh herbs when swapping for dried.
Pair with soup, chili, eggs, roast chicken, or a sausage gravy. Good party bite for Halloween too.
