Last updated on September 9th, 2025

These Ted Lasso Biscuits are amazing and believe-ably low-carb! They’re buttery shortbread-style biscuits that bring the show’s famous cookies into your kitchen, without the sugar guilt. Read on to enjoy the taste of Ted Lasso’s Richmond and share the love with DIY pink boxes. Tea time just got better!

Ted Lasso Biscuits, Believe-ably Low Carb & Easy

Are you a loyal Ted Lasso fan? I am! If you started watching from Season 1, you already know just how irresistible Ted’s biscuits are. Who else has craved those warm, buttery treats?

Just like us, you probably wonder how Ted whips up those mouthwatering, buttery biscuits for Rebecca, his boss, who’s sharp-witted, fierce, and elegant.

Go ahead and drool over those fictional biscuits! But if you grabbed a real one, you’d find it packed with excess carbs and tons of sugar, trust me. If they’re anything like shortbread, then watch out.

Low-carb biscuits with the boss

So, to help make it easier for those of us who need to watch our carb intake, this is a soft, buttery and simple ‘Biscuits with the Boss’ recipe using almond and coconut flour.

This recipe is, believably, a low-carb alternative to the so-called “official recipe,” barely revealed in a teaser for Ted Lasso’s second season by Apple TV way back on April 20, 2021.

Ted’s home away from home

In addition, if you’ve watched the show (we can’t get enough of it) and noticed the retro streets surrounding Ted’s home away from home, surely you must be intrigued by their whereabouts and location.

I’m excited to share that during our family vacation in London, UK, we took a little trip to Richmond Green, where most of “Ted Lasso” was filmed.

Why did we go? Because we’re obsessed with the show! Additionally, my husband has a passion for films and directors, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore such a charming town. Whenever we have the chance to visit a filming location, we jump at it!

The entire experience of walking through the attractive, tiny nooks of Richmond, thus tracing Ted’s on-screen steps, inspired me to create these delicious, no-flour Ted Lasso Biscuits.

Why You Will Love Low-Carb Ted Lasso Biscuits

• These buttery and soft biscuits will introduce you to Ted Lasso if you’ve never watched the show. You need to watch the first season, at least, to see what all the buzz is about surrounding these biscuits. In short, the show is about compassion, kindness, romance, love, and soccer AND not all about soccer (that’s right, you don’t need to be a soccer fan to watch it).

• Since Ted Lasso is a feel-good comedy show with a great cast, these delectable, low-carb biscuits will make you feel sufficiently healthy, knowing they are made with almond and coconut flours.

• Having these no-sugar cookies by your side will stop the drooling every time you await Rebecca’s reaction when she digs her teeth into one of Ted’s biscuits.

• This Low-carb Ted Lasso Biscuit recipe has no flour or refined sugars that will spike your blood sugar levels.

• Munch on these keto and gluten-free buttery shortbread biscuits with a cup of tea (or “garbage water,” according to Ted) while you catch a Ted Lasso episode. However, they also taste great with coffee and herbal tea.

• In the show, Ted doesn’t seem to use any electrical appliances for baking a batch of his biscuits, and you won’t either with this easy, low-carb version.

More on the Heart of Ted Lasso (Spoiler Alert!)

In the Ted Lasso TV show, Ted is an American Football coach hired to uplift AFC Richmond, an English soccer team. However, Ted has no clue about soccer rules. And that doesn’t convince his team or his Boss, Rebecca, of his capabilities as a sports coach.

Initially, Ted faces skepticism from AFC Richmond regarding his capabilities. However, his kind and feel-good personality grows on his team players through his upbeat, charming wit and care for them. Which inevitably leads to their belief in him as a coach.

What’s with the cute pink box?

To earn Rebecca’s trust in his unorthodox coaching methods, Ted bakes biscuits for her. This gesture inspires the name ‘Biscuits with the Boss,’ as he presents the treats in an adorable pink box. Incidentally, these boxes make a charming way to gift the cookies to others.

Soon enough, it’s not long before Ted puts up a sign reading ‘BELIEVE’ above his office door, reiterating throughout the series his coaching abilities – the Lasso Way.

The biscuit obsession

An obsession with the biscuits developed not only among Rebecca but also among Ted Lasso fans worldwide. Since the show’s airing, various versions of Ted Lasso’s infamous biscuit recipe have gone viral on social media.

In addition, Apple TV released a teaser revealing the recipe’s first line, only partially, to further mystify the recipe’s ingredients. Consequently, this provoked a massive reaction from Apple TV fans and many food sites, like Kitchn, which took to the stage to claim an official recipe.

Are the Official Ted Lasso Biscuits Low Carb?

While the official recipe sounds simple, most food bloggers allege it includes plain flour and sugar, which doesn’t quite work for anyone aiming to cut back on carbs or avoid gluten.

However, to reduce the carbs, I tried almond flour as a substitute for the flour and used brown Swerve instead of regular sugar. I also added coconut flour to make them a little softer, too.

Surprisingly, while they look like the biscuits on the show, these low-carb cookies even turn out buttery and crumbly, just as you would expect from a shortbread cookie.

Carbs and Servings in Low-Carb Ted Lasso Biscuits

This recipe yields 18 biscuits, baked in a single 8-inch x 8-inch pan. Each biscuit contains 10.2g of carbs, and since the recipe uses coconut flour, the fibre content is further increased to 8.7g, resulting in a net carb count of 1.5g per biscuit.

If you only have a 9-inch square pan, increase the ingredient amounts accordingly. However, 18 slices in this size pan will have slightly more carbs each, but I guess you could slice the dough into smaller pieces.

Ingredient Notes

Almond Flour – replaces the all-purpose flour used in the official recipe, giving the biscuit a slightly nutty taste.

Coconut Flour – adds fibre but also keeps the biscuit slightly chewy.

Sweetener – For this recipe, I used Swerve Brown, which has a mild sweet taste with no cooling aftertaste or grainy bite. If you are using Monk fruit or Erythritol, use less than stated (about 1/3 cup), then powder it in a spice or coffee grinder. Note that the biscuits will, however, have a cooling aftertaste, but they will still taste delicious!

Butter – unsalted and at room temperature- helps create an airy texture when creamed with the sweetener.

Salt – helps to give the biscuit a sharp, sweet taste.

Baking Powder – aids in making the biscuits rise slightly, making them lighter.

Vanilla Extract – eliminates a strong almond flour taste and enhances the sweetness from the sweetener.

Best Tips for Making Low-Carb Ted Lasso Biscuits

• Chilling the dough in the fridge firms it up, allowing the biscuits to retain their shape as they bake in the oven.
• For a less grainy texture in the biscuits, powder your sweetener (if using erythritol or monk fruit) by pulsing it in a spice or coffee grinder.
• Creaming the butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract before adding it to the dry ingredients helps to distribute the butter evenly, create air bubbles, and make the biscuits lighter.
• Rubbing the dough with your fingertips prevents the butter from melting in your hands as you work the dough into a sand-like texture.
• Pre-slicing the chilled dough before baking will ensure the biscuits don’t fall apart when they have cooled.
• Softened unsalted butter instead of melted butter creates a light, fluffy biscuit texture.
• Allow the biscuits to cool completely in the pan, as almond flour can be delicate after baking.

Equipment Suggestions

An 8-inch x 8-inch Baking Pan works well with this recipe, but slightly increasing the recipe will also accommodate a 9-inch x 9-inch pan.

I use a spatula to spread the doughy biscuit mixture easily into the corners of the pan.

A pastry cutter is a very useful tool for cutting the chilled dough.

Lining the baking pan with parchment paper helps lift the baked biscuits, keeping them intact before slicing.

A sharp knife may help loosen the biscuits’ edges before lifting them out of the pan.

High-quality freezer-safe storage containers are ideal for storing these low-carb Ted Lasso Biscuits.

These pink boxes are ideal for gifting several biscuits to share with friends and family. Alternatively, follow my guide to make mini pink boxes to accommodate these biscuits. They’re the perfect size for gifting samples.

Steps to Make Low-Carb Ted Lasso Biscuits

Grease an 8-inch by 8-inch square baking pan. Line it with parchment paper large enough to hang over the side.

Cream the butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl (or a larger bowl). Then, add the creamed butter and sweetener mixture to the dry ingredients.

Rub the mixture between your fingers using bare hands to form a slightly sandy, sticky texture, which will help distribute the butter evenly. Alternatively, use an electric mixer at a slow speed to mix all the ingredients.

Test the mixture by pressing some into your palm; if it stays sticky and glues together, it’s ready to transfer to the pan.

Spread the dough evenly into the parchment-lined pan using a spatula and pat down to cover the entire baking pan from corner to corner.

Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill it for 30 minutes.

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and carefully slice it with a sharp knife or pastry cutter. I find it easier to make two horizontal cuts from left to right and five vertical cuts from top to bottom to form 18 biscuit shapes, similar to the ones seen in the Ted Lasso show.

Bake the dough in a preheated oven at 325°F for 25 minutes.

Allow the biscuits to cool completely in the pan, then lightly loosen the edges with a knife before lifting them onto a chopping board lined with parchment paper. Cut over the pre-cut slices to separate them.

Storing, Freezing, and Gifting with Pink Boxes

Storage

These low-carb biscuits can be stored covered in an airtight container on the counter for up to 1 week. Alternatively, they can be stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.

Although they taste good straight from the fridge, I prefer to leave them out on the counter for 10-15 minutes to achieve a much flakier, buttery texture.

Freezing

These biscuits freeze very well, packed in a freezer-safe container. Pack a few between layers of parchment paper so you can grab one at a time when you want to eat them.

Gifting

As in the show, Ted gives his boss, Rebecca, a pink box of buttery biscuits. Similarly, these low-carb biscuits are perfect for gifting, and I provide easy step-by-step instructions on creating individual mini pink boxes using just one sheet of paper per box.

Pro tip: Line the boxes with parchment paper cut to size. Doing so will prevent grease marks from appearing at the bottom of the boxes.

Where is Ted Lasso Filmed?

As mentioned, Ted Lasso’s filming location is in Richmond and the surrounding areas. It’s known for its royal parks and historic houses and is located in the southwest part of London, UK.

My hubby is a total movie buff and knows every movie reference in Ted Lasso. So, since we were already in the UK, with half a day to spare, I made reservations for lunch at the pub featured in the show. Furthermore, with the lovely weather, it was a great opportunity to walk around the area.

If you are as much of an admirer of the show as we are, then read on to learn a few facts about Ted’s real-life Richmond location.

The Crown and Anchor Pub

The Crown and Anchor pub featured in the show is an actual pub called The Prince’s Head, located on the corner of the quaint streets of Richmond Green. It’s not far from the high street and a 15-minute walk from Richmond Tube station.

Upon my research, filming does not take place inside the pub, but rather in a studio replica. The entire pub’s interior layout was built to look exactly like the set. Amazing, right?

We sat inside for lunch, near a corner where the pub pays homage to Ted Lasso, allowing devotees, aka tourists like us, to take photos, haha!

A nostalgic stroll through the Paved Court

In the show, Ted lives in an apartment above a store on a vintage-looking street known to Londoners as Paved Court.

As in the show, we often see Ted come out of his apartment and walk through it to meet up with Beard, his assistant coach. We recognized it immediately! Tiny artisan shops snuggle beside one another on both sides of the street.

Since the show’s popularity, it’s allowed some stores to sell Ted Lasso merchandise. I love this place and would happily revisit it; I also appreciate seeing the old red telephone boxes still standing there. It brings back lots of memories of growing up in London.

Filming Locations in Canada (that look like Richmond)

Since moving to Canada, I’ve discovered filming locations similar to Richmond Green. These areas also feature paved or cobblestoned streets, perfect for a quiet stroll, a pub lunch, or taking the kids for ice cream. If you live in Canada or are visiting, here are some places you might like to see:

• The Distillery District, Toronto, ON – Cinderella Man, Chicago.
• Port Hope, ON – IT
• Unionville, Markham, ON – Schitt’s Creek, A Simple Favor, Suits.
• Goodwood, ON – Schitt’s Creek.
• Stratford, ON – Murdoch Mysteries.
• Niagara on the Lake, Niagara, ON – The Dead Zone.
• Montreal – Catch Me If You Can.
