Keto Biscuit Showdown | Mixes VS. Homemade

This Biscuit Mix video shoot and editing was a test of patience. Packaging was confusing while filming and as I was editing I realized the biscuit packages I received were different than the labels online. So the moral of the story is if you receive mixes and the nutrition labels don't make sense, check online for the products correct labeling. Or just avoid the confusion and make my delicious homemade coconut flour buttermilk biscuits and enjoy! But not if it's 90 degrees in your house, just don't bake, lol.

I created a patreon account. I have many ideas for the future of this channel and maybe even creating my own keto line of desserts at some point. I'm going to be posting some inspirational stuff over there along with more information about my life, past, present and future. I'm excited to take this extra step and do some extra content for supporters. Some behind the scenes of my recipe testing successes and fails alike. Maybe even some merch down the line!

Hope this video is helpful to people, I know there are many things I learned during filming and editing. The shoot was a mess, literally and figuratively, check out my original biscuit video for a more clear and concise tutorial on making my keto biscuits - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWmsY6xoeJ6Iq5I

[@maryc327]

Your biscuits look amazing! Hands down better than the packages. Could you pre-make your biscuits, freeze them, and just bake as needed? Do you think they would still come out well?

[@KetoUpgrade]

@@maryc327 thank you!😊 I've never tried it but if you form and freeze them, then pull out and thaw in the fridge before you bake, they should turn out. May need to bake a bit longer though.

[@maryc327]

@@KetoUpgrade thank you. I will try this!

[@KetoUpgrade]

@@maryc327 You're welcome! Let me know how it turns out!!

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*I can now make an informed choice about which biscuits to try on my keto journey.*

[@anthroariel]

Loved the detailed comparisons! I am determined to master your version!

[@ashleya8888]

Thank you. I have been searching for a good Keto biscuit recipe. Will definitely be trying yours. I didn't know High Key had a biscuit mix. Good to know

[@janp7660]

Thank you for doing this experiment. I'm sure your homemade is way better than any mix!

[@bethdiamond4849]

Hope you make a recipe book. I'd buy it in a second.

[@lindapendleton9176]

Shout out from Hamburg to a Buffalo gal. Thanks! Just found your channel in 2024. Please do more.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Hi I actually live in Derby! I've been doing this channel for 3 years and don't plan on stopping but I have over 150 recipes to keep you busy! Glad you found me, I also sell my baked goods at vendor shows and you can order from my bakery Sugar Swap Bakeshop on Facebook and Google!!

[@moetskimona3923]

Awesome

[@mystarstudios]

I love you channel and this was a great comparison review. Your biscuits definitely looks like the best However it's good to know an alternative mix.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I totally agree, even I get lazy sometimes and mixes are nice to have on hand!!

[@tristaware2119]

Yours look amazing!! So happy that you use a food processor. Seems pretty easy. I’ll have heat problems too because I’m in AZ. I do have AC though

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thanks!! Yeah makes it really easy!

[@cometier]

I love showdowns. Please do more.

[@Cainula]

You are a really great Keto channel. I hope you start to get the attention you deserve. Keep it up!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Aww thank you so much! 😊 I will!

[@lupe089]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’m not a chef, but I have spent sooooo much money trying to get keto recipes right. I completely understand your struggle lol I hope to try your recipe soon!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thank you! The struggle is real, lol. Hope you enjoy my recipe!

[@sheryldewitt7630]

Thank you! Always looking for recipes that aren't made with Almond flour due to Allergies. Love your recipes!

[@KetoUpgrade]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoy!

[@kaitlanlpz]

If you packaged your mixes I would for sure buy them!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Maybe in the future!

[@flyingsodwai1382]

Yep, the showdown video idea is great.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thanks!

[@KarenLeon457]

I love when you do showdowns like these but I think your own recipes will always be better. Lobe your content! ❤

[@KetoUpgrade]

Haha thanks! Glad you enjoy them😊 ❤

[@jackieburton7550]

So glad I found you…excited to try your recipes…thanks

[@KetoUpgrade]

Me too...Can't wait for you to try some, hope you enjoy!!! You're so Welcome!

[@marvelladickerson8440]

Love your channel. I am allergic to wheat and doing low carb.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Thanks, glad I can help!

[@paladin6476]

I say this completely un-thirsty, but those are some sexy biscuits!! Biscuits & Baguettes are really my only struggles with Keto; unlike cake, there's no true textural Keto options

[@fayst.hilaire5656]

I love your biscuit. I have friends and family who love your biscuits. It’s just been too hot to turn on my oven to make them. My husband has been asking me to make them. Your biscuits also freezes well.

[@KetoUpgrade]

So happy everyone is enjoying them!😊 I agree it's too hot to bake, lol. And that's great to know, thank you!

[@jamieburton1805]

Just found this. Will be trying your buttermilk biscuit.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Yay!! Hope you enjoy!!😊💗

[@lavellnutrition]

Do you have a good noodle recipe or anything with Lupin flour?

[@KetoUpgrade]

I have been working on pasta off and on for awhile. I started experimenting with lupin flour but it's a legume and my family member with the nut allergy is also sensitive to beans (legumes).

[@Skyfilly]

Love your videos

[@nunya148]

Could we substitute gluten free flour for coconut flour? Didn’t want to eat a coconut flavored biscuit

[@KetoUpgrade]

I don't know what the ratio would be because I don't experiment with gf flour. I buy great value organic coconut flour and I don't think it tastes like coconut. Different brands definitely have more or less coconut smell and flavor. If you really don't want to use it the only ratio I know that might work is 3x as much almond or lupin flour.

[@nunya148]

@@KetoUpgrade thank you! I might get that brand of coconut flour next time! Thank you for the recommendation!!

[@zannataylor9951]

Yum. I'm making 'em. I love to cook so,, I'd much rather make my own..Thanks for the great recipe!

[@KetoUpgrade]

Awesome! You're welcome, hope you enjoy!!😊

[@judyfarmer2962]

My husband loves biscuits but he is not Keto. I know that I could make some of these and he would not know the difference.

[@Paula-po9kx]

Thank you. I pick homemade over a package any day. Now you gotta eat all those biscuits!! You mentioned strawberry jam/jelly, my favorite and I miss it, really miss it, which one would you recommend? Now I am hungry!!

[@KetoUpgrade]

You're welcome! Yeah they are all in my fridge, lol except the Good Dee's I tossed, they were soft and mushy after being in the heat of my kitchen. In my biscuit video I made a strawberry jam to top the biscuits. I haven't really bought any store brand sugar free jams.

[@kristentaylor5359]

I'm from GA and I have no idea what a cracker biscuit is either. We do have cathead biscuits, which are just twice the normal size of a normal biscuit (the size of a cat's head), but cracker biscuit is new to me

[@KetoUpgrade]

Weird, then I have no idea what it's suppose to mean, lol

[@daisy3690]

ty mmm

[@KetoUpgrade]

You're welcome 😊

[@Krystal9008]

I did the Nutrail too a few months ago and the same happened to me. Make not sense the measurements and I got left over "flour"

[@tamitarekolayan9918]

Have you tried Carbquick? I know it’s dirty keto, but so close to a real biscuit. It’s like a low carb bisquick.

[@KetoUpgrade]

I can't have gluten, I get really bloated and stomach cramps the next day when I eat a little too much! Had this stomach issue all my life and never knew what caused it, thought it was just a way of life. So unfortunately there will be no gluten on my channel, cause I can't taste test a bunch of recipes with a little gluten in them.
