Low Carb Biscuits and Gravy is a comforting Southern-style breakfast featuring fluffy almond flour biscuits topped with a creamy, peppery sausage gravy. This keto-friendly, gluten-free version keeps all the rich, indulgent flavor of the classic dish while cutting carbs for a guilt-free morning meal.

Ingredients

  • For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp cold butter, cubed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
  • For the Sausage Gravy:
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, if sausage is lean)
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in eggs and cream until a soft dough forms. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
  4. Shape and bake: Scoop about 1/4 cup portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Cook sausage: While biscuits bake, brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Do not drain all the fat.
  6. Make the gravy: Add cream cheese to the sausage and stir until melted. Pour in heavy cream and almond milk, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  7. Assemble and serve: Split warm biscuits and top generously with sausage gravy. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use full-fat dairy for the best texture and flavor.
  • Let the biscuit dough rest to allow coconut flour to absorb moisture.
  • Simmer gravy longer for a thicker consistency.
  • Use hot sausage or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Store biscuits and gravy separately for best reheating results.
