Key Ingredients:

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Almond Flour

I prefer fine blanched almond flour for baked goods. Indeed, it creates a tender, cake-like crumb structure. Moreover, it keeps the net carbs extremely low.

Cold Butter

Always keep your unsalted butter chilled before mixing. Consequently, small butter pieces create flaky layers during baking.

Ground Sausage

Pork breakfast sausage provides incredible savory flavor. Naturally, it forms the heart of your creamy gravy.

Heavy Cream

Full-fat heavy cream creates a luscious, rich sauce base. Furthermore, it adds rich fat content to keep you full.

Xanthan Gum

A tiny pinch thickens the gravy naturally. Thus, you avoid using high-carb cornstarch or wheat flour.

Black Pepper

Freshly cracked black pepper adds classic Southern spice. Therefore, do not hold back on this essential seasoning.

How to Make Keto Biscuits and Gravy:

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cold butter pieces in a bowl until crumbly.
3. Stir in egg and melted coconut oil until a soft dough forms.
4. Form four equal round dough balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
6. Brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 6 minutes until fully cooked.
7. Pour heavy cream, water, salt, and black pepper directly into the skillet.
8. Sprinkle xanthan gum over the liquid while stirring constantly for 3 minutes until thick.
9. Split the warm biscuits in half and spoon hot gravy over the top.

Pro Tip: Keep your butter extremely cold before mixing to achieve maximum biscuit flakiness.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Over-mixing dough: This causes tough, dense biscuits instead of light ones.
• Skipping xanthan gum: Your gravy might remain thin without this low-carb thickener.
• Burning the cream: Keep heat medium-low while simmering heavy cream mixtures.

Required Equipment:

• Baking Sheet — ensures even biscuit baking without sticking.
• Cast Iron Skillet — retains heat for perfect sausage browning.
• Whisk — prevents lumps while thickening your rich gravy.

Caleb’s Recipe Tips:

• Chill Your Dough: Place shaped biscuits in the fridge for ten minutes before baking.
• Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes to the sausage for extra heat.
• Garlic Touch: Sprinkle garlic powder into the dough for richer flavor.
• Batch Baking: Make extra biscuits and freeze them for quick weekday meals.

Storage Instructions:

Store biscuits and gravy in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Furthermore, freeze baked biscuits for up to 2 months. However, freeze gravy separately in freezer-safe bags. Gently reheat gravy in a saucepan over medium-low heat, adding a splash of water to loosen the texture.
