Here is a Diabetic-Friendly version of “Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits.”
The original recipe is rich and high-carb, so this version uses almond flour, Greek yogurt, and sugar-free ingredients to keep them tender, fluffy, and low-carb — without losing the buttery goodness!
🧈🍞 Diabetic-Friendly Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits
Low-carb • No added sugar • Golden & fluffy
Ingredients (Makes 8 biscuits)
- 2 cups almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder or dried herbs
- Optional topping: 1–2 tbsp melted butter + pinch of salt
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat oven

2. Mix dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine:
- almond flour
- coconut flour
- baking powder
- salt
3. Cut in the butter

- Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- (Cold butter = flakier biscuits)
4. Add wet ingredients
In a small bowl whisk:

Pour into dry mixture and stir until dough forms.
If dough seems too wet, add 1–2 tbsp almond flour.

6. Bake
