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.

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.
Jamie K Van Nuys says
This was absolutely delicious! Thanks for a great recipe.
Mike says
I am confused. Your recipe printed calls for 1/3 cup coconut flour but the video you use 2 cups Almond flour. That is a pretty big difference. Is that correct and is the nutritional information the same either way? Thanks! Can't wait to try this.
Akela says
Hey there, Coconut flour is WAY more absorbent than Almond flour, so this is why you need to use less 😁 hope this helps!
Theresa Ortega says
So I made this...I followed the recipe and my biscuit came out flat but I went to your YouTube and in your video you used almond flour vs coconut flour. That is probably why my biscuit were flat. I will make again but they way you do in the video and hopefully they are not flat
Libby Patzer says
Excellent. Will definitely make this again!
Lucas Dentel says
Better than the real thing!
Rebecca D. says
Delicious! Thanks so much for this recipe. Saved my breakfast!
Shelley says
I made this exactly as written and it was beyond amazing!!! Biscuits and gravy is my favorite breakfast item. I was a little nervous that my gravy was going to be a runny mess, but 1/2 teaspoon is all ya need of the xanthan gum. It was thick and very filling! Thank you so much I don’t have to go without them anymore!
Heather Lewis says
There must be a typo or something here. 1/3 cup coconut flour leaves a very wet dough, runny like pancake batter. Or too many eggs?
jenniferbanz says
Are you sure you used coconut flour? Coconut flour is very absorbent.
Amber says
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
Delicious! Quick and easy to make. Thanks for the great classic made keto friendly.
Leah Clark 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!
Jessica Rose Friend Causey says
My family and I loved this. I didnt think the biscuits were eggy at all, especially compared to other keto recipes.
My one question: Im used to using the pepper sausage gravy mixes (when not low carb) and they usually have a sweetness to them in addition to the pepper flavor. Have any others used sweetener and if so how much?
Kenzie says
Could you use half & half in replacement of the Heavy cream?
jenniferbanz says
Yes, but it may be a little less thick.
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.
melanie says
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!
Serena says
I tweaked this recipe according to your suggestions and it was amazing! Biscuits were perfect and the gravy was incredible. Thank you for the tips!
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!
Adriana says
When you first mix this, it is runny but after you let the batter rest a few minutes, it thickens up.
I make this same biscuit recipe but like to add 1/2 cup shredded zucchini to them. It adds texture and nutrients.
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
