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 it exactly as-is and it was great! Not sure why people left out the garlic powder; I didn't really notice it in the biscuits.

Holy (bleeeeep)...this was beyond good! Not a spec left on anyone’s plate; not even my non-keto eating kids (11&13). Ya’ll, the biscuits are like grandma made them. The sausage gravy is pretty general tasting (don’t add up extra salt or it kills the taste). I never made this before so I followed the recipe closely - accept for the additional salt (sausage was salty enough). I served sunny side up eggs along side and everyone was wowed. This was pretty simple to make/bake so I’ll definitely be making this again. Oh, and there’s even leftovers for tomorrow morning! Winner!
