Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener, salt baking soda, and garlic powder. Add the shredded cheese and toss to combine until the cheese is evenly coated with the flour mixture.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir just until combined - don't over mix. The batter may appear a little lumpy.
1 cup buttermilk, 6 Tablespoons salted butter, melted
Using a 2 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop, place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart. It’s okay if the biscuits are not perfectly round and a little shaggy-looking.
Bake for 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
While the biscuits bake, whisk together the topping ingredients. Once the biscuits are removed from the oven, brush the top of the hot biscuits with the buttery topping.
Serve the biscuits warm or at room temperature. Store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes
Ingredient Tips - Using freshly shredded cheese works best in this recipe opposed to store bought pre-shredded cheese that has a powdery coating. Sugar can be substituted for the monk fruit sweetener, if desired.Storage Tips - These biscuits are best eaten right from the oven but can be stored for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven, microwave or air fryer.
