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 1/2 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.

I have a three star because the biscuits turned out to be WAY too greasy. The gravy, however is AMAZING!!! I highly recommend this gravy!
Danielle says

Jennifer, I just made these biscuits and they are AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to try them with other things, or simply to dredge through my egg yolkwith breakfast!!!
Kaara says
Yum! Just made these tonight and I love the coconut flour biscuit, so good! I should have let my gravy simmer longer to thicken, but I couldn’t wait! Thanks for the recipe 😉
Laura says
Happened upon your recipe when the ones I saw on Pinetrest were using ingredients I didn’t have on hand. It was easy and delicious, made this recipe a second time and doubled the biscuits because they are really good. Thanks for a yummy recipe that is not only tasty but easy to make.
Sharon says
OMG! I just found you and your recipes. I just made your Keto Biscuits and they are Awesome. I have tried making them from other recipes on facebook and the web, but were not good enough, ended throwing them away.I am looking forward to trying some more of your recipes.
John says
Made a vegetarian version for my wife (she’s OK with eggs and cheese and cream). Used a veggie burger, veggie broth and cream – SHE LOVED IT!!!
Thanks so much!
Maitri says
Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. I love the crunchy outside and soft inside. I plan to make these as a side dish for Thanksgiving and have shared this recipe with so many friends!
ESH says
Holy WOW!! I saw thus recipe while I was at work, ran home and made it!! I have to say, this is Amazing Good!!!! Thank you for the recipe!
Amanda Meza says
I used Bacon instead of sausage, I also added garlic and onion powder 2 the gravy they are really good!!!
Angela Anderson says
I have made this recipe and it is wonderful!!! Being a southern girl from Louisiana, Biscuits and gravy is a staple and it is one of the things that I miss while doing Keto, but this recipe is AWESOME! My husband and I both love it and he is not doing Keto.
Jon says
I’ve made this recipe 5 times now and I love it. Couple tips. Don’t mix the biscuit batter too thoroughly or you’ll get pancakes instead of biscuits. You want it clumpy and cold as possible. Let the butter cool after you melt it down for a bit, I put a small chunk of cold butter and mix it with melted butter to cool it down. For the gravy, I used bone broth and it comes out great. You need to let the gravy cool a little as well for it to thicken up with the xantham gum. It’ll look real runny until you take the heat off it and let it sit for a minute.

I made this recipe it was fantastic! I did use those big Italian sausages and pulled out the insides. I drained the grease and added bacon fat and really crisped up the meat. I also added skim cheese for less calories. It turned out amazing thanks for the recipe Jenifer loved it !
Lee says
These are wonderful. My biscuits are delicious. I love coconut so I didn’t change the recipe. I did however use beef broth because that’s all I had and thickened my gravy by adding 3 egg yolks to my whipping cream, it thickened perfectly. Thank you for your recipe, I appreciate you taking the time to develop and post these for us!
Jim says
Biscuits didnt rise, and seemed more like cakes, the gravy wasnt bad but to my fault i used italian sausage so i wont knock there. may try to adjust the next time im feeling biscuits and gravy.
Ashley says
Just made these and the gravy was delicious. I didn’t drain the fat from the sausage to get a better flavor. I found the biscuits a little too heavy with the flavor of coconut. I’d probably do a mixture of almond and coconut flour next time.
Amber says
Such a great recipe! I read the comments before and saw people mentioning their biscuits were a bit eggy. I used 3 eggs rather than 4 and did not have any issues with texture/taste. I also added a little bit of cream cheese just to thicken up my gravy a little more, but overall I loved this recipe. 10/10 recommend!
Shonti says
Hi! How do you store the extra biscuts? Do they need to be refrigerated? Thanks this recipe is awesome.
Nicole Foster says
I already had biscuits so just made the sausage and gravy. It was delicious! I thought it was the perfect sausage to gravy ratio and the flavor was wonderful. My non-low carb husband loved it too.
Kelli says
Just made this recipe and OMG! So good and so easy! I tasted the biscuits alone while waiting for the gravy to finish and I wasn’t a huge fan. However, once topped with the gravy, it made all the difference. Cut some of the sweetness from the coconut flour. Took some to my dad who was raised on homemade biscuits and gravy and he said it reminded him of my grandma’s so that’s a major success!
Charity says
This was one of the BEST keto recipes I’ve made this far! I’m not one to post comments however, for this recipe I had to! Definitely was savory and filling. I had to check and made sure I did everything per the recipe correct because after I ate it I felt like I was cheating! But nope followed it to a T. I did find the dough to be runny at first but that was because the butter was a little too warm after I melted it. I just let it sit and bind with the coconut flour for a few in the fridge and it came out perfect! Thanks for sharing this recipe 🙂 I wish I could post the finish product 😉
Melanie says
This is absolutely delicious and my weekend breakfast favorite! Have made it many, many times!
Amanda says
Do you know about how much the sausage gravy makes in cups? I am trying to figure out how much I should measure out for a 1/6th serving. Thanks!! Looks great! Can’t wait to try it!!
Angela Zahringer says
I didn’t make the biscuits but I did make the gravy. It was delicious! My only complaint is that there was not enough gravy for the sausage so next time I might try doubling the cream/broth/xantham gum. I definitely recommend trying it!
Lauren says
Any idea how much regular flour you would use if not using coconut flour?
Jen says
This is absolutely the BEST recipe ever!!! It is PERFECTION! Thank you so much!
Tracy Liddell says
We really enjoyed the recipe but when I entered it in MFP, the calorie count was way off for 4 servings. I’m curious how you calculated the calories or if you used a low calorie sausage?
Heather B says
Loved it! I too was worried about small amount of flour in biscuits but it worked out perfect!!
Darla says
Perfect gravy! Loved it! Thanks! Darla
