Keto Sausage Gravy and Biscuits Recipe

Craving a comforting breakfast classic but sticking to your keto lifestyle? Look no further! This Keto Sausage Gravy and Biscuits recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your cravings without the carb overload. We’ve swapped out the traditional flour-based gravy and high-carb biscuits for delicious, keto-friendly alternatives that taste just as good (if not better!).

Why This Recipe Works:

Traditional sausage gravy is thickened with flour, making it a no-go on keto. This recipe uses xanthan gum, a powerful keto-friendly thickening agent, to achieve that creamy, comforting texture. The biscuits are made with almond flour and coconut flour, creating a tender and satisfying base for the rich gravy.

Ingredients:

For the Gravy:

  • 1 pound ground sausage (Italian or breakfast)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat

For the Biscuits:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but adds flavor!)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

  1. Make the Gravy: Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the cream cheese until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the xanthan gum with 1 tablespoon of water until a slurry forms. Gradually whisk the xanthan gum slurry into the gravy.
  5. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
  6. Make the Biscuits: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt.
  8. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Stir in the cheddar cheese (if using).
  10. Add the almond milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  11. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Assemble and Enjoy: Split the warm biscuits and smother them with the creamy keto sausage gravy. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious and satisfying keto-friendly meal!

Tips and Variations:

  • For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of sausage.
  • If you don’t have xanthan gum, you can try using cream cheese to thicken the gravy, but the texture will be slightly different.

This Keto Sausage Gravy and Biscuits recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s perfect for a weekend brunch, a cozy weeknight dinner, or anytime you’re craving a taste of home without the carbs. Enjoy!
