Butter My Berry Biscuits
Because biscuits are made to be both buttered and berried!
Here’s what I love about cobbling-up a sweet summer’s bounty of berries with keto bizkits instead of boring old wheat-based biscuits:
- Gluten-Free/Keto biscuits are super filling and (even if I try really hard) I can’t eat more than one or two. That’s called portion control, right?
- These biscuits don’t get gooey like regular biscuits since almond flour doesn’t absorb a ton of moisture, so they stay kinda crispy up-top with a soft biscuit belly.
Trust me when I say that you want your biscuit belly soft and the top crisp and buttery. Kind of like my Keto Strawberry Shortcakes! Wink Wink!
Berry Good Carbs
You might be wondering how I am getting away with calling this dish a delish low carb option and it’s simple really—there’s no gluten and like, tons of nutrients. In my book, that negates any looming worries about carbs from berries. Just portion control it and I promise you won’t bust your skinny jeans from a serving or two per week.
Summer Berry Cobbler {Gluten Free & Low Carb}
Let’s cobble some berries!
Berries go in the baking pan.
Biscuits go on top. There are literally no other tips.
This is practically a minimalist’s dream recipe.
You might be wondering why these biscuits are a beautiful shade of golden brown and it’s all in the egg wash!
This recipe calls for egg whites, then just save the yolk for the wash.
Can you even imagine how magical it would be to cobble some peaches? Don’t worry, I’m on it. 🙌
And don’t forget to check out other delishy dishes that involve all of the berries like my Raspberry Almond Ricotta Cake , Lemon Blueberry Galette , or Low Carb Strawberry Protein PopTarts!!!

I picked like a balizlion strawberries a couple weeks ago…froze most of them because I was too lazy to do anything else. But now I have a delicious looking recipe to use them in! Looks great!
Oh I miss strawberry picking! It’s definitely a labor of love, but there is just something better about the freshly picked ones! Thanks Emily!!
In the first mention of egg whites in the instructions, they are already magically beaten. Beaten how? Stirred? Soft peaks? Stiff peaks? Please save me from my own ignorance (’cause I wanna get it right the FIRST time)!
Thanks!
Sorry! It’s really just a quick whip with a fork and they should be ready to go. These biscuits aren’t too fussy!! 😁 I’ll update the instructions 👍
OH, and let me know how it turned out! I am a one-woman test kitchen so I would LOVE your feedback 🙂
