🛒 Ingredients
For the Biscuit Bites
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp Sour Cream
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ½ tsp Chili Powder
- 1 cup Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
For the Topping
- 8 oz Pulled Pork (pre-cooked)
- ⅓ cup Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup Coleslaw Mix
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless cleanup.
- Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, baking powder, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and shredded cheese. Stir until a smooth, thick dough forms – it should hold together nicely.
- Shape the Biscuit Bases: Spoon the mixture into 8 equal piles on the prepared sheet. Gently flatten each mound into a neat circle (about ½ inch thick) using the back of a spoon.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the bottoms are beautifully golden brown. Let them cool slightly on the sheet.
- Sauce the Pork: While the biscuits bake, toss the shredded pulled pork with the sugar-free BBQ sauce in a bowl until every strand is lightly coated and glossy.
- Assemble & Serve: Top each warm biscuit with a generous spoonful of BBQ pulled pork, then add a pinch of fresh coleslaw mix. Serve immediately while the biscuits are still crispy and the pork is warm.

🎨 Serving Ideas & Variations
- Game-Day Platter: Arrange the bites on a wooden board with extra BBQ sauce on the side, pickled jalapeños, and celery sticks for crunch.
- Brunch Upgrade: Top each biscuit with a fried egg and a sprinkle of chives for a hearty keto breakfast.
- Slider Style: Instead of cookies, drop the dough into mini muffin tins to create cup-shaped “buns.” Fill with pork and coleslaw for perfect sliders.
- Wrap It Up: Use large lettuce leaves to wrap the biscuit + pork combo – extra crispy and totally portable.
- Spicy Kick: Add ½ tsp cayenne or chipotle powder to the dough, and drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.
📦 Storage & Shelf Life
Allow any leftover Keto Pulled Pork Biscuit Bites to cool completely. Store the biscuit bases and the pulled pork separately to keep the biscuits from getting soggy.
- Refrigerator: Place biscuits in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep the pork in a separate container. Reheat biscuits in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes, then add warmed pork and fresh coleslaw.
- Freezer: Freeze baked (cooled) biscuit bases in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a zip-top bag. They’ll keep for 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen – add pork after reheating.
- Pulled Pork: Store leftover pork in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 3 months.
❄️ Pro tip: Assemble only as many bites as you plan to eat – store components separately for the best texture.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the amount. Use only ¼ cup coconut flour + 1 extra egg, as coconut flour absorbs more liquid. The texture will be slightly different – less fluffy, more dense.
2. What if I don’t have Colby Jack cheese?
Any melty cheese works – cheddar, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a mix. Grate it yourself for the best melt; pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents.
3. Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely! Use a dairy-free shredded cheese (like violife or daiya) and swap sour cream for unsweetened coconut yogurt. The biscuits will be slightly less rich but still delicious.
4. What’s the best sugar-free BBQ sauce?
Look for sauces sweetened with erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit – brands like G Hughes, Sweet Baby Ray’s no sugar added, or homemade. Always check net carbs.
5. Can I use leftover pulled pork from a slow cooker?
Yes! That’s the beauty of this recipe. Just shred the pork and toss with BBQ sauce. If your pork is already heavily seasoned, reduce the spices in the dough slightly.
6. Why are my biscuits spreading too much?
The dough might be too wet. Add 1–2 tbsp more almond flour until it holds a shape. Also, make sure your baking powder is fresh – expired powder loses lift.
7. How do I keep the coleslaw crunchy on top?
Add the coleslaw just before serving. If you’re prepping ahead, keep the coleslaw mix dry (no dressing) and spoon it on right before eating.
8. Can I make these gluten-free?
Already gluten-free! Almond flour and the other ingredients contain no gluten. Just double-check your BBQ sauce and pulled pork for any hidden wheat.
9. What if I don’t have coleslaw mix?
Thinly slice some cabbage and a little carrot – that’s all coleslaw mix is. Or swap for shredded lettuce, arugula, or even pickled red onions for tang.
10. Can I air-fry the biscuits instead of baking?
Yes! Air-fry at 325°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. They’ll get extra crispy on the outside. Keep an eye on them as air fryers vary.
