Best served piping hot, this recipe is AMAZING, y’all. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to include on the blog for a long time, but didn’t want to bring to you until it was perfect.

Growing up in southern Missouri, SPRINGFIELD STAND UP, biscuits and gravy was everywhere. I think it’s fair to say it’s something that’s often on the breakfast table.

Funny story, though…when Joe and I met, him being from Minnesota, he had never even HEARD of biscuits and gravy. We went to a midnight breakfast in college and he stared at the vats with a “What the heck is that?” look on his face.

Shortly after he fell in love with me, he fell in love with biscuits and gravy…. Actually, come to think of it, I’m not sure which came first!

Anyway, before I started keto, I had a fantastic recipe for this stuff that I made pretty frequently. Unfortunately, like my of my diet at the time…it was LOADED with carbs.

One of the best low carb feelings for me is the understanding that all of those extra carbs from yesteryear were completely and totally unnecessary.

And this recipe is easier, quicker, and even more delicious!

  • Author: Hey Keto Mama

Ingredients

Biscuits

3 cups finely ground almond flour

1 tablespoon baking powder (yes, a tablespoon)

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons butter, softened

2 eggs

Breakfast Sausage Gravy

1 pound ground breakfast sausage

2 tablespoons butter

2 ounces cream cheese

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (to thicken)

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

In large bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Add butter and eggs and continue mixing until fully combined.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Separate dough into 10 balls and gently roll into slightly flattened discs.

Place on sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes until beginning to brown.

Let cool completely or they will fall apart.

Gravy

In skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until no pink remains.

Add butter to skillet. Break cream cheese into pieces and place into skillet. Mix until cream cheese is fully melted. 2-3 minutes.

Pour heavy cream and broth into pan. Sprinkle in xanthan gum and pepper and stir.

Heat to a low boil the turn off heat, continue to stir. This will allow xanthan gum time to thicken. Serve warm over biscuits.

 

 

Notes

Xanthan Gum can be found in the baking aisle of your local grocery store. Individual packets are usually less than $1 each.

You can make these biscuits with coconut flour, but I have not tried it and do not know the correct amounts.

    My daughter made this recipe when she was here visiting. The gravy was delicious, but I could totally do without the garlic in the biscuits. I like garlic, just not in biscuits. To me, it totally changed the flavor of the what I think the recipe should taste like. So, when I make this for my husband, who grew up on biscuits and gravy in Texas, I will leave it out. Many of you may like the garlic in it. If you do, by all means, use it. But I prefer it without.

      I’m a few months late but I just had to pipe up because cashew chicken is one of my favorites too. I saw a video on youtube (sorry, I can’t recall which) that gave me some ideas. I do a really simple one. Toast a couple of tbsp of cashews in olive oil, set aside. Cube 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs and stir fry until done. Drain out extra liquid, add nuts back in and add about 2 cups of steamed broccoli. I found a delicious classic stir fry sauce by House of Tsang at my local grocery store, 5 carbs per tablespoon. Since this recipe makes 2 servings, that’s only 2.5 carbs per serving. A few drops of soy sauce to garnish and you’ve got dinner. I’ve made it twice now and toasting the cashews, combined with that one tablespoon of sauce, really gives it that classic cashew chicken flavor I was craving.

    Do these freeze well? I’m meal prepping for thanksgiving week and am looking for things I can make and freeze ahead of time and just reheat when it’s meal time.

    Made this for the Family and they absolutely loved it I changed out the seasonings to minced onion, garlic powder,and sage and actually used all 8oz of cream cheese! The biscuits are to die for! Thanks for this recipe!

    Tried the biscuits and gravy today with my husband and it was a success! I was skeptical using the cream cheese, but everything worked great. Will definitely be making this again. Only drawback is that we are used to making more gravy, but when it comes to Keto, watch out….you fill up faster! After eating I waited to see if I had “room” for another biscuit, but glad I did. The longer my husband and I sat visiting, the fuller I felt! Enjoyed our first comfort food breakfast with Keto!

    Made this at work, keto people loved it!

    Adapted the gravy recipe for Thanksgiving dinner, everyone loved it! I basically left out the sausage, heavy cream, and pepper.
    Melted some butter, put in chunked up cream cheese and let it melt. After that, I ladled in some turkey drippings and whisked in the xanthan gum. Let it boil for a few minutes, then enjoyed! Even better than regular turkey gravy, in my opinion!

    Thanks for the inspiration!!!

    Very good biscuits. Just a tiny bit dry. Added a pat of butter. SUPER! Haven’t tried the gravy yet. Just a little skeptical.

    THIS IS INSANELY DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I are new to LCHF and I was hesitant. We both agree that we literally miss NOTHING over “regular” biscuits. I didn’t have time to let them cool completely and they were still amazing, they just crumbled a bit. We like a little spice so we used the hotter sausage and it was SO flavorful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!!!

    I lessened the garlic in the biscuits and used an au jus mix instead of chicken broth. It was delicious! Only notes are that 1) the biscuits were still very crumbly after cooling (I just mixed the crumbles in with the gravy and ate it like that) and 2) the butter in the gravy separates if it sits for too long (like while the biscuits finish cooking). Very tasty, MUCH easier than any other keto biscuits and gravy recipe I’ve found.

    Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I began my Keto journey. I attended a ladies retreat this weekend and of course, biscuits & gravy was on the buffet line. Now I’ve never met a biscuit & gravy that I didn’t like but I skipped it and stuck with my scrambled eggs and bacon. When I was telling my friends about my results so far, my statement was, “there’s no biscuit and gravy worth the results I’ve seen so far!” But now I’ve found your site and my southern, biscuit & gravy loving heart is rejoicing!!! I’ve not taken the step yet to buy almond flour & xanthan gum but it’s on my shopping list now! I’ve pinned many of your recipes and even bookmarked your site. Tonight’s dinner: White Chicken Chili! Yum!

    These are amazing!!! The biscuits and gravy were better than expected (I was sceptical because Keto bread/baked goods usually aren’t as good as the original)…My fiancé loves traditional biscuits and gravy and his usual response to Keto dishes is “it’s good for low carb” but he couldn’t get enough of these, we both love this recipe! I used psyllium husk rather than xanthan gum and used garlic and onion powder in the biscuits (we love garlic) but I would probably leave the these out next time. Thank you for this recipe!!
