Get ready to experience ketogenic breakfast bliss. This Easy Keto Biscuits and Gravy recipe is an amazing way to start your day with a southern feel!
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!

Get ready to experience ketogenic breakfast bliss. This Easy Keto Biscuits and Gravy recipe is an amazing way to start your day with a southern feel!
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.

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.
