Delicious almond flour biscuits with asiago and cracked black pepper. Serve alongside some low carb soup for the ultimate comfort food meal.

Low Carb Asiago Cracked Pepper BiscuitsSo we have successfully landed in the Pacific Northwest and are trying to adjust to a whole new way of life. It’s a little surreal at the moment, living in a virtually empty rental house, waiting for our things to make their way across the country. By all accounts, our household belongings are set to arrive on Friday but these things never go smoothly so I am not holding my breath. The last week was absolutely crazy – a late night flight with three kids and a cat, a night in an airport hotel with the aforementioned kids and cat, arriving at our rental with nothing but our suitcases, picking up boxes shipped out ahead of time, borrowing some air beds and a folding table from a friend of a friend of a friend. And that was all before Thanksgiving! Then going to Whole Foods to pick up a pre-ordered holiday meal, only to discover that they somehow never received our order. Kudos to them, they jumped to and put together quite a feast for my family, throwing in quite a few extras. Carb-laden extras, mind you, but for my kids and husband it was a welcome treat. I stuck to the turkey breast, brussels sprouts and green beans but I was glad to allow my family a little holiday indulgence.

And then we had a whole long weekend to get through together. Don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with my family. But in an unfamiliar city in cold, rainy weather with no toys, wifi or television…3 days can seem like an utter eternity. We did take a lovely, wet hike on Thanksgiving Day and we did while away several good hours at the Portland Children’s Museum on Sunday afternoon. But I will readily admit that I was happy to see my kids off to their new schools come Monday morning.

And to my delight, they all seem to be settling in well among their peers. It’s early days, yet of course but my sweet, sensitive oldest child was quite worried about changing schools and came home proclaiming that his new teacher ROCKS. My littlest seems perfectly content with her new preschool and has already made some fast friends. My middle kid…well I don’t worry much about her. She is so supremely confident in herself, she can fit in almost everywhere she goes.

So there you have it. We are here and we are settling in, although I think it will be a while before we are truly “settled”. It’s been very cold for Portland, hovering around the freezing mark. It’s very decidedly soup weather, and I find myself wishing I had some of these biscuits I made before we left the East Coast. They are full of great flavour and perfect for pairing with your favourite soup, chill or stew. They also make a great breakfast slathered with butter. Get into your kitchen and get baking! You’ll be glad you did.

Asiago & Cracked Black Pepper Biscuits
Delicious almond flour biscuits with asiago and cracked black pepper. Serve alongside some low carb soup for the ultimate comfort food meal.
Servings: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2/3 cup coconut flour plus extra for flouring the surface and cookie cutter
  • 4 ounces finely grated Asiago cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup whey protein powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup water
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, 3 ounces of the Asiago, whey protein powder, black pepper, garlic powder and salt. Stir in eggs, oil and water until dough comes together.
  3. Lightly flour a large piece of parchment with coconut flour. Turn dough out onto parchment and press out into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a 2 inch circular cookie cutter dipped into coconut flour to cut into biscuits. Gently loosen biscuits with a knife or offset spatial and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle biscuits with remaining asiago and bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until slightly puffed, golden brown and just firm to the touch. Remove and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

    Happy for you and your family. Moving to a new school can be so hard! I just wanted you to know how thankful I am to have found you. I literally make one of your recipes every day. I made your Magic Caramel cookie bars yesterday and they were amazing…and easy! Keep up the great work!

    So happy to have you in the neighborhood, Carolyn….you and your family will love OR. And once you weather the first winter, you will know why we put up with the wet, drizzle, deluge!

    Like a previous commenter, I almost daily bake something of yours….I now have to keep ‘his and her’ jars of the salted caramel sauce in the frig. Those magic bars are on the list as well as these biscuits. DH said the Blackout Cupcakes are the bomb! I used only one cup of the powdered Swerve and less liquid. No metallic aftertaste.

    May you find much inspiration within Oregon, welcome

    My family & I have enjoyed so many of your recipes over the last year (especially with the recent holiday) & I’m glad you all made it safely to Portland! With the Christmas season starting up there are so many opportunities to explore/enjoy the city: Winter ale/Holiday festivals at Pioneer Courthouse Sq, Oregon Zoo Lights, Peacock Lane, etc. I hope you are able to find some time between all the unpacking/settling in to enjoy the Portland holiday events!

    I live in the Portland area as well, and can definitely recommend the holiday activities mentioned above. Your kids would probably especially love Peacock Lane!

    Thanks for this recipe – it looks delicious!

    It has been very cold here as well! Unusual for this time of year. I don’t mind it too much because, at least in Seattle, when it’s super cold in the winter, it’s always blue skies and sunny! Hope your boxes arrive without delay!!

    Glad you made it to your new home, and good wishes for the timely arrival off your furniture and boxes. Moving is a huge hassle, but packing is by far the worst part, and at least that is behind you. Most of all, HAVE FUN exploring your new city (and find out about farmers markets – a source of wonderful products and potentially new friends).

    Welcome to Oregon from a brand new Oregonian: We just moved to Newport, OR from Kansas right before Thanksgiving. I feel your moving pains. We already love it here – hope you will, too. Your blog is my favorite – a pleasure to read with the best low carb recipes out there! Will definitely try this one. Thanks!

    That sounds like quite the adventure, but it sounds like you’re taking things really well! Moving is hard (we did it twice in two months and we’re still living out of boxes!), so I really hope all of your belongings arrive when they should and that you’re able to settle in soon. Food blogging is hard without all of your kitchen equipment, so I hope that gets unpacked first! 😉 Pinned!

    Found your blog a few months ago and love love LOVE it! These biscuits are great with soup; cake-y but still a bit flaky with a bit of bite from the pepper. So nice to have “bread” without the carb guilt!! Only problem is sticking to just one due to calorie count–Would just as soon eat the whole batch!
