Super easy keto biscuits piled high with keto sausage gravy...makes a delicious and filling breakfast. The biscuits are filled with cheddar cheese and are really easy to make. The keto sausage gravy only requires 4 ingredients!
There is one thing my southern heart cannot give up, and that is biscuits and gravy. This delicious breakfast dish has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. My Low Carb Biscuits and Gravy uses a keto biscuit for maximum flavor and low carb sausage gravy, of course!
I love to have breakfast for dinner since I am not much of a morning breakfast person.
My low carb breakfast sandwich is another quick one that my family loves! I used pancakes as the bread for that one!
Or you might be in the mood for just pancakes. You should try my Keto Pancakes. They are scrumptious!
Back to your regularly scheduled keto biscuits and gravy.
You will love this low carb biscuit recipe because it is incredibly easy! All you have to do is mix all of the ingredients together, scoop it out onto a parchment lined baking sheet, and bake them in the oven!
I scoop mine out with a large cookie scoop and then flattened them out with my fingers so they look like biscuits cut with a biscuit cutter. You could also use a spoon to drop them on the baking sheet.
These keto biscuits come out light and fluffy and so full of flavor. You might want to make a double batch! For the cheese in these keto biscuits, I used medium cheddar. You could use any kind of cheddar such as sharp, white cheddar, or even pepper jack cheese...that would be delicious!
Traditionally, sausage gravy is thickened by sprinkling flour over the sausage after it is cooked. This creates a roux and when the liquid is poured in and simmered, the gravy thickens.
One product that I have found amazingly versatile and should be in every low carb or keto pantry is Xanthan gum. This little package will last you forever because you only need to use very little. To thicken this keto gravy I only used ½ teaspoon. I bought the package that I have about a year ago and it doesn't expire until October of 2018!
So for the keto sausage gravy I first cooked my ground sausage in my skillet until it was cooked through. I love to use this little tool to break up the meat into smaller pieces as I cook it.
After the sausage was cooked, I added the chicken broth, heavy cream, and sprinkled the xanthan gum on top. I mixed it all up and then let it simmer until it was thick.
This is the prefect sausage to gravy ratio in my opinion. Look at how thick that little bit of xanthan gum gets the keto gravy!
To assemble the keto biscuits and gravy just cut the cheddar biscuit in half and fill it up with copious amounts of sausage gravy.

Low Carb Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 1 cup Chicken broth

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F. Line a baking pan with parchment, a silicone baking mat, or spray with cooking spray. Add all of the biscuit ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Scoop the batter using a 3 tablespoon scoop or spoon out 3 tablespoons worth of batter for each biscuit. Place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Makes 6 biscuits.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- While the biscuits are cooking, make the gravy. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the sausage over medium-high heat until it is cooked through. Add the chicken broth, cream, and xanthan gum.

DELICIOUS! Im a hardcore southern biscuit and gravy making momma and this recipe doesnt make my family feel cheated of carbs!
Jen says
Thank you 🙂 My family really enjoyed this recipe. My kids took seconds. However I tried the biscuits on their own and they were far too eggy. It wasn't so noticeable with the gravy on top. I am keeping the recipe for the gravy and will keep searching for a better biscuit recipe.
Lorne D. Minke Jr says
WOW just a amazing breakfast. Did not have the Heavy Cream used
almond milk instead and thickened right away. And totally guilt free and my wife loved it. The biscuits turned out amazing! thank you 🙂

I only made the biscuits, but they were good. Sort of a coconut fathead dough.
Linda O. says
I have a bag of xanthan gum that is expired. Can I still use it? I rarely used it and it only comes in a large quantity for what I need it for. Why would it expire? What would cause it to go bad?
Jennifer Banz says
I think it should still be ok. Manufacturers have to put an expiration date by law.
Pam says
The biscuits and gravy were very good. We enjoyed them very much and will be making them again soon!
Kim says
Wow. Very good. Great alternative for a favorite of mine. This will definitely be a new favorite! Yum!
Ethel Havens says
OMGosh …. So pleasantly surprised at how delicious this was. The coconut flour makes such a difference in how the biscuits turned out. They WERE NOT EGGY & cut perfectly. The sausage gravy (I used Jimmy Dean pork sausage) was Delicious!
Thank you for this fabulous recipe.
Samantha Hill says
This might be my favorite keto recipe yet. I am always looking for something to get me full in the mornings to cut down on snacking AND be super low carb. I was able to get 8 biscuits out of the mix and the gravy is so rich I didn't need a ton of it. I did add some butter to the gravy. I salted the gravy which I did not need since the biscuits provide enough salt for me! Home run Jennifer!!!
Kathy Carre says
This is SO good! Just so amazing! I am gluten free and I love that there is so much variety with your recipes. Thank-you!
BJ says
The recipe is great. However, I definitely prefer Tasty Beef Broth over Chicken Broth anytime for any recipe unless using CHICKEN as the main ingredient.
Thanks for sharing.
Dianne Kelly says
Hi Jennifer , firstly love all your recipes 🙂 Thank you so much. As I live in Australia we have different names for some foods. Finely ground sausage ??? I presume this is a finely ground minced meat that would be used to make sausages. However as there are so many varieties of minced meats used to make sausage i am unsure of which you are using...beef ? Pork ? Pork & veal mince ? chicken mince or lamb ? I am pretty certain you will NOT be using kangaroo mince although it is very high protein..low carb 🙂 thanks again .. stay safe, happy & healthy, best wishes from Australia .. Dianne.
jenniferbanz says
Yes, minced pork sausage. You guys have quite the variety!
Jenn says
Looks delicious! Do you think I could sub turkey sausage and half and half for the cream to lower the calories a little. I am sure the turkey sausage would be fine, but do you need the thickness/creaminess of the heavy cream?
jenniferbanz says
I think it would work because of the xanthan gum
Kathy says
My husband didn't like the gravy, he said it tasted like chicken gravy, so I tried again by using a little over 1 cup water and simmering some of the sausage in the water to make a broth. I let it cook down to 1 cup and substituted it for the chicken broth and he loved it. Thank you so much for this recipe!
charlene cohen says
Gravy very easy and fast to make and was delicious! How long can you keep it in refrigerator?
LOURDES says
This recipe was so easy! I loved that it only included keto staple ingredients. The taste was amazing!
Teresa says
This was FANTASIC! I didn’t think the biscuits would be the same but they are. Only modification is I added some herbs to the sausage so it would taste like breakfast sausage.
Lou says
Oh my, what a wonderful gift to us transplanted Kentuckians. My husband and i love breakfast for d nner, but since i went on keto we havent been able to enjoy it. Since he is a persnickety eater i made two of everything one his way one my way. I fixed evrrything according to your recipes....and it was great! of course my husband didnt want to mess up His plate with my diet stuff, so i asked him to just taste a bit from the skillet. One little taste and he said wow. Then he stood there just eating the gravy right of the pan! He suggested making the biscuits for dinner tomorrow but adding garlic and cheddar...as one of your fans suggested...i had used colby jack for this first batch. thank you so much!
LaLa says
I'm not sure what you all are adding to the biscuit recipe to make it runny??? It only has 4 ingredients: coconut flour, baking powder, cheddar cheese and 4 eggs. And you should not use a mixer to combine ingredients, just use a spoon and mix until ingredients aee combined.
This recipe is delicious!! It has definitely added a twist to my low carb diet and has me excited!! The recipe turned out perfect for me. I did not have to use any salt in gravy, just pepper because the sausage had that covered. But this recipe is wonderful, thank you!

Melva Johnson says
Made your recipe. Don't know what happened with the biscuits. They were pretty runny but put them in the oven any way and they baked into a big flat Pancake but it still tasted good. Well try them again though. The gravy was really, really good. My daughter and I both liked it as opposed to regular gravy. Thanks,
M Johnson
Akela says
I'm curious, are you in U.S or Canada ??
I wouldn't think measurements would be different from U.S to Canada, me being from U.s and moved to Canada... ANYWAYS... But I've found that even following recipes EXACTLY, they are not turning out as most everyone else's, and I am a good cook! I don't toot my own horn but I will admit I can cook! Lol thanks !!
Rob says
This recipe is FANTASTIC!! I followed the recipes exactly and ended up with a phenomenal holiday brunch. Thanks so much for such a wonderful recipe! Highly recommended for everyone!!
Tina says
This was great!! Good flavor, great sausage/gravy ratio. I will certainly be making this again. Even the biscuits - although smaller than my southern soul likes were tasty.
Hannah Chynoweth says
Ok recap after making this recipe. I was skeptical on some things but quickly remembered how tricky coconut flour is. I decided to stick with the recipe verbatim my fist time (I can note adjustments after). It didn't fail to disappoint. Its a lil dry but not bad, and coconut flavor is slight but not bad considering how baked goods usually are with coconut flour. The cheese helps with that. Its also eggs in flavor. Not a problem for me because I'm Also smothering it with gravy making all of the above unnoticeable. The gravy I actually added some garlic powder and fresh ground fennel(my fave spice in this dish) and to help it cream I added 2 tbls of cream cheese I had left over. They were better than expected. Great work with this recipe. I still had to make a regular pan of Pillsbury biscuits for the egg allergy in the house, boo..I love those so dang much too.
Keren says
Easy recipe! I swapped for beef broth due to chicken allergy so next time I won’t add the additional salt. But the consistency of the gravy was spot on and the biscuits were yummy & cheesy.
Linda says
Holy Cow.... these are absolutely wonderful.... so easy to make... ?
Juliette says
This recipe was easy, quick and so yummy! It definitely satisfied multiple cravings. My husband, who is Celiac, loved this recipe too! Thank you for posting!
Dottie says
Delicious!! I made both step by step and they were fantastic! I have been on low carb/keto for 4 years and have missed this dish. Being from the south, it's hard to omit..lol. however, it's a darn good substitute!! Thank you so much!!
Iraickza says
This cane out perfect! Thank you!!Ir
Krystal says
I loved the gravy recipe. I used carbquick for the biscuits
Tera Rosen says
These were awesome! thank you
Erykah says
I must agree with Lisa below. Way to runny and became 1 big biscuit. 1/4 tsp of salt should be eliminated as the cheese and butter are already salty making the biscuit way to salty. Next time, I will use a muffin tin instead of a pan.
Lisa says
This recipe is way off. The Consistency was very runny and it turned into one big sheet pan of biscuits
jenniferbanz says
hundreds of people have made this recipe with no problems!
Jennifer says
Yes, I've had no problems whatsoever. My second batch is in the oven now. Yummy!
Signe Costales says
Mine started out runny, but during the time that I made my coffee and pondered over what to do about runny biscuits, the batter thickened up and I continued with this delicious recipe.
Alisha says
I love breakfast for supper. This hit the spot! Thanks so much for all you share!
Josh D says
Oh my gosh!! This recipe is amazing! The taste and textures is fantastic and full the void perfectly. The biscuits only taste slightly eggy on their own, but with the gravy they are perfect. Besides, it is breakfast so who’s complaining about eggs. They actually have the texture of bread which blew me away. This is a must try. Well done Jennifer! And thank you!
Lorynn R says
So yummy! We doubled the biscuit recipe and used almond flour so we used 1 and 1/3c for the flour and doubled the rest of the biscuit ingredients, and left the gravy ingredients all the same as we only had one roll of sausage - put the biscuit batter divided into a 12 muffin tin and they turned out perfect!!!
Thelma VonHoff says
Thank you. I will definitely try this recipe.
Michael Templeton says
This really tastes like real biscuits and gravy. Definitely a keeper.
