These Halloween biscuits are cut into bone shapes from a dough made with almond flour and coconut flour, with garlic powder and onion powder for a savory flavor. They bake until the edges are golden, crisp on the outside and soft and chewy inside. The recipe makes 12 biscuits in 30 minutes, 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes in the oven.
Save this recipe for later:
Because the flours are almond and coconut, each biscuit has only 2 grams of carbohydrates. They suit a keto Halloween table as an appetizer or a spooky snack.
What Each Ingredient Does
Exact amounts are in the recipe card.
- Almond flour: the low-carb base, with a nutty flavor.
- Coconut flour: adds texture and a hint of sweetness.
- Baking powder: helps the biscuits rise.
- Garlic powder and onion powder: the savory side of the dough. Salt rounds out the flavor.
- Egg: the binder that holds the dough together.
- Unsalted butter and cream cheese: both softened. The butter adds richness, and the cream cheese keeps the biscuits soft and moist.
- Water: optional, only to bring a crumbly dough together.
Making the Dough
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the biscuits do not stick.
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl. In a second bowl, beat the egg, butter and cream cheese until smooth. Take the butter and cream cheese out ahead of time and let them soften at room temperature. They blend into the egg more smoothly that way, and it makes a noticeable difference to the texture.
Add the wet mixture to the dry gradually and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
Rolling and Cutting
Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼ inch thick. Cut out the shapes with a bone-shaped cookie cutter and set them on the lined sheet. Any cookie cutter will do if you do not have a bone one. Pumpkins, ghosts and bats make a mixed Halloween batch.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown. Let the biscuits cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Missing a Tool?
You need mixing bowls, a baking sheet, parchment paper, a cookie cutter and a rolling pin. If something is missing, a large deep dish can stand in for a bowl, and a large oven-safe dish can replace the baking sheet. Without parchment, grease the baking sheet lightly with oil or butter. A clean wine bottle or a sturdy glass can roll out the dough in place of a rolling pin.
Variations
- Parmesan on top: sprinkle grated Parmesan over the biscuits before baking for a cheesy crust.
- Herbs: fresh or dried rosemary or thyme can go into the dough.
- More spices: smoked paprika, Italian herbs or a pinch of cayenne work alongside the garlic and onion powder.
What to Serve With the Biscuits
Guacamole or an avocado dip, or creamy ranch dressing, both go well with the savory flavor. Sparkling water with lime or lemon keeps the drinks low-carb too.
Storing the Biscuits
Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them and put parchment paper between the layers so they do not stick. The dough can also be frozen and baked fresh later.
