I blinked and I almost missed snowshoe season! Now that it is April here in our ski town, I may just be hanging up the snowshoes and pulling my mountain bike out of storage. If mountain biking season is on the horizon, then that means I will have zero gluten in my life. My gluten allergy shows itself in arthritis in my hands. This does not bode well for ten-mile m
ountain bike rides. So every spring I have to say “See ya later gluten.” These keto Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits are a great gluten-free alternative to those carb-filled breakfast breads you know we all enjoy.
Late March saw me trying to get in a few last snowshoe hikes in as my damned gluten allergy flared up after I must have had a trace amount of gluten from God knows where. I ended up with a terrible rash up and down both of my arms. Thank God, the temperature heated up in this ski town to nearly seventy degrees. It was impossible for me to wear anything with sleeves for a good ten days; the gluten-inspired rash was so painful on my forearms.
One thing about this keto lifestyle is that you will find yourself purchasing a lot of cottage cheese and almond flour at Costco! Cottage cheese is the low-carb glue that holds all my favorite keto delights together. I feel like I’ve been close to overdosing on nuts this past month. I put almond flour in absolutely everything these days!
Who knew you could imbibe in Southern biscuits without coming out of ketosis? Of course, these keto biscuits are kind of more Southwest than Southern, thanks to spicy roasted jalapenos and jalapeno jack cheese. Of course, you can use any leftover cheese you have in the fridge in these tasty keto biscuits.
These keto biscuits are awesome, of course, straight out of the oven. But I’ve been known to pack them in my backpack and take them with me on an early morning snowshoe hike.
Keto Jalapeno Chees
e Biscuits
1 cup cottage cheese, with the liquid squeezed out
2 1/2 cups of almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup coconut flour
coconut oil spray
1 egg, whipped
1 teaspoon Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
1/2 cup shredded jalapeno jack cheese
2 roasted jalapenos sliced
Mix the cottage cheese, baking powder and the almond flour. Form into biscuit shapes. With a pastry brush, coat with the egg wash. Sprinkle on the 21 seasoning salute. Dot each of these keto Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits with a few jalapeno slices and a dusting of the cheese. Bake at 300 in your air fryer for fifteen minutes.
If you are not enjoying these keto Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits hot out of the air fryer, the next day you can reheat them in the air fryer for four minutes. I don’t recommend reheating the keto Jalapeno Cheese Biscuits in the toaster; They make a big mess!
