Today I’m going to share with you a recipe for keto zero carb biscuits that you can make with just a few basic ingredients.
These biscuits are perfect for anyone who’s following a keto diet and wants something bread-like without any carbs at all.
I know that giving up bread is one of the hardest parts of going keto, and having recipes like this makes the whole diet much easier to stick to.
These biscuits taste good, they’re filling, and they fit perfectly into your keto meal plan. The ingredient list for these biscuits is very short. You only need pork rind crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper.
That’s it for the basic recipe. If you want to add more flavor, you can include other seasonings, but the basic version works great on its own. Pork rinds might sound like an unusual baking ingredient, but they work really well in keto recipes.
These biscuits are great for so many different meals. You can have them for breakfast with eggs and bacon. You can serve them as a side dish with dinner. You can use them to make sandwiches.
👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Only Four Ingredients: You don’t need a long shopping list to make these biscuits. The recipe only calls for pork rind crumbs, eggs, salt, and black pepper. That’s it.
Ready in No Time: From the moment you start mixing ingredients to pulling golden biscuits out of the oven, this recipe takes less than 30 minutes total. The actual baking time is only 15 to 20 minutes, and the prep work before that takes maybe 5 minutes.
No Almond or Coconut Flour Needed: A lot of keto baking recipes rely on almond flour or coconut flour, which can be expensive and also still contain some carbs.
Some people also have nut allergies or just don’t like the taste of almond flour. This recipe completely avoids those issues by using pork rind crumbs instead.
Pork rinds are usually cheaper than almond flour, they have zero carbs, and they give you more protein.

💡Tips
1. Get the Mixture Thick Enough
After you mix the eggs and pork rind crumbs together, the mixture needs to be thick enough to hold its shape. If it’s too runny, your biscuits will spread out flat on the baking sheet and won’t look like biscuits at all.
The right consistency should be similar to thick cookie dough – it should be wet but not liquid. When you scoop it up with a spoon, it should slowly drop off the spoon, not run off quickly like batter.
If your mixture seems too wet after mixing everything together, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. The pork rind crumbs will absorb more of the egg during this time and the mixture will get thicker. I
f it’s still too wet after waiting, add a tiny bit more pork rind crumbs, maybe a tablespoon at a time, and mix it in.
2. Watch the Oven Temperature
The recipe says to bake at 350°F, and it’s important to actually preheat your oven to this temperature before putting the biscuits in. Don’t just turn on the oven and immediately put the biscuits in – wait for it to fully heat up first.
Most ovens take about 10-15 minutes to preheat. If your oven runs hot or cold (some ovens do), you might need to adjust the temperature slightly.
Every oven is different, so the first time you make these, check on them after 12 minutes to see how they’re doing.
They’re done when the outside is golden brown and they feel firm when you gently press the top with your finger.
3. Let Them Cool Before Eating
This is really important even though it’s tempting to eat them right away. When the biscuits first come out of the oven, they’re very soft and fragile. If you try to pick one up immediately, it will probably fall apart in your hands.
Let them sit on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes after you take them out of the oven. During this cooling time, they firm up significantly and become much easier to handle.

FAQ
Why are my biscuits falling apart?
There are a few reasons this might happen. The most common reason is that you’re trying to move them or eat them too soon after baking. They need at least 5 minutes to cool and firm up after coming out of the oven.
Another reason could be that your mixture was too dry to begin with. If you didn’t add enough egg or if your pork rind crumbs were too coarse, the biscuits won’t stick together well. The mixture should be wet enough that everything binds together – think of it like thick cookie dough, not like dry crumbs.
Also, make sure you’re mixing the ingredients really well. Every bit of pork rind crumb needs to get coated with egg. If some parts are dry and some parts are wet, the biscuits won’t hold together properly.
