The Best Keto Biscuits and Gravy (2024)

My Keto version of the ultimate breakfast comfort food; Keto Biscuits and Gravy

This biscuits and gravy recipe is absolutely delicious and easy to make!

Is there a more comforting breakfast than Biscuits and Gravy? I don’t think so. I never really ate Sausage Gravy growing up, and quite frankly I was never really a gravy fan until I got married to a “Southern boy.”

Ok, he isn’t southern-southern, but he grew up in Southern Ohio and played football in Mississippi, so he is a Hillbilly at heart. He goes bonkers for this meal.

I think the last two times I made this he ate half of the keto biscuits and gravy in one portion. I was like, dude, really? I just spend 30 minutes making this and you are going to eat it all in 3 minutes.

In all honesty, I don’t care, and I am happy that he enjoys the Keto recipe I make. He may be mad at me for calling him out on the internet, but he is too busy to read my blog posts anyway so if I’m lucky, he will never understand this.

The reason why this is one of his favorite low-carb meals is that it tastes exactly like the carb-loaded version of Biscuits and Gravy.

If you did a side-by-side comparison and I didn’t tell you which one was which, you would probably not be able to guess yourself. It’s that good.

The low-carb biscuits are light and fluffy, and the keto sausage gravy is rich and full of flavor. You can also add shredded cheese to the low-carb biscuits and make them “cheesy biscuits.” I made those one time, and they were so good!

Are you ready to make this delicious and filling breakfast for your family?

What do you need to make these Low-Carb Biscuits?

To make these light and fluffy low-carb biscuits, in this recipe I used Almond Flour.

Almond Flour is the most commonly used keto substitute for flour. I also used 3 egg whites, Baking Powder, melted butter, salt, garlic, and chili powder.

Mix the dry ingredients first then add the wet ingredients.

For the wet ingredients, add the melted butter first before the egg whites. You should achieve a crumbly consistency for the mixture.

The most important step to making the low-carb biscuits light and airy is to whisk the egg whites until they are fluffy. Gently fold the egg whites into the flour mixture.

Scoop the mixture into the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until low-carb biscuits turn golden brown.

What do you need to make the Keto Sausage Gravy?

The Keto Sausage Gravy is such an easy recipe. You only need a few gravy ingredients and you can enjoy flavorful keto gravy in no time.

For this wonderful recipe, you need Breakfast Sausage, Cream Cheese, Heavy Cream, cup broth, and salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat and set aside. In the same saucepan, add the Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream. Heat and whisk the mixture for 5 minutes. Add the Sausage and continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes until the Sausage Gravy is thickened.

Lastly, add the broth. And your Keto Sausage Gravy is ready!

How do you make the Sausage gravy thicker?

I like to add both heavy cream and cream cheese for the keto gravy because the cream cheese aids in thickening the sauce. If the sauce isn’t as thick as you would like it to be, you can add in some Xanthan Gum.

What is Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan Gum is a keto-approved thickener, but you have to be careful with the amount you use, or else you will turn the food into a giant glob. Speaking of which, I am laughing to myself right now because one time my husband tried making Keto Sausage Gravy, and he put a whole tablespoon of Xanthan Gum in it and RUINED it.

Here I am, making fun of him again, but it was hilarious. He had to throw the entire thing out because it tasted horrible and turned into a Sausage Gravy mold. He thought it was like using flour or cornstarch.

Nope. Not quite.

How to use the Xanthan Gum for the Keto Biscuits and Gravy?

If you are going to use Xanthan Gum for Keto Biscuits and Gravy, start with a minimal amount. I’m talking 1/2 tsp of Xanthan Gum and then working your way up, but I wouldn’t go past 1 tsp.
