KETO BISCUITS AND GRAVY

 Is there a more comforting breakfast than Biscuits and Gravy? I don’t think so. I never really ate Sausage Gravy growing up, and quite frankly I have never really been a gravy fan until I got married to a “Southern boy.”

Ok, he isn’t southern-southern, but he grew up in Southern Ohio and played football in Mississippi, so he is a Hillbilly at heart. He goes bonkers for this meal..



I think the last two times I made this he ate half of the biscuits and gravy in one portion. I was like, dude, really? I just spend 30 minutes making this and you are going to eat it all in 3 minutes.

In all honesty, I don’t care, and I am happy that he enjoys the Keto food I make. He may be mad at me for calling him out on the internet, but he is too busy to read my blog posts anyway so if I’m lucky, he will never understand this.

The reason why this is one of his favorite Keto meals is that it tastes exactly like the carb-loaded version of Biscuits and Gravy.

If you did a side by side comparison and I didn’t tell you which one was which, you would probably not be able to guess yourself. It’s that good.

The biscuits are light and fluffy, and the gravy is rich and full of flavor. You can also add shredded cheese to the biscuits and make them “cheesy biscuits.” I made those one time, and they were so good.

Keto Biscuits and Gravy

I like to add both heavy cream and cream cheese for the keto gravy because of the cream cheese aids in thickening the sauce. If the sauce isn’t as thick as you would like it to be, you can add in some Xanthan Gum.

Xanthan Gum is a keto approved thickener, but you have to be careful with the amount you use or else you will turn the food into a giant glob. Speaking of which, I am laughing to myself right now because one time my husband tried making Keto Sausage Gravy, and he put a whole tablespoon of Xanthan Gum in it and RUINED it.

Here I am, making fun of him again, but it was hilarious. He had to throw the entire thing out because it tasted horrible and turned into a Sausage Gravy mold. He thought it was like using flour or cornstarch.

Nope. Not quite.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE XANTHAN GUM FOR KETO BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Start with a minimal amount, I’m talking 1/2 tsp and then work your way up, but I wouldn’t go past 1tsp.

DESCRIPTION

Recipe inspired by Maria Emerich 

SCALE

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE SAUSAGE GRAVY:

  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage
  • 2 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup broth 
  • Salt and pepper to taste

FOR THE BISCUITS:

INSTRUCTIONS

TO MAKE THE SAUSAGE GRAVY:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the Sausage. Set aside.
  2. To the same saucepan add in the cream cheese, heavy cream and bring up the heat as you whisk the mixture. About 5 minutes.
  3. Add the sausage to the gravy and continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes until the Sausage Gravy is thickened.
  4. Add broth to thin it out.

    FOR THE BISCUITS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line or grease a muffin pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and baking powder. 
  3. Add in the salt, garlic powder, and chili powder and combine well. 
  4. Add in the cold butter and cut it into the mixture using two knives or pastry cutter. The mixture should have a crumbly consistency. 
  5. Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites until they are fluffy. This is an important step to making the biscuits light and airy. 
  6. Gently fold in the egg whites into the flour mixture. 
  7. Using a cookie scoop, scoop in the biscuit mixture into 8 muffin slots. 
  8. Bake for 10-15  minutes or until biscuits starts to get golden brown on top. 

NOTES

If the Sausage Gravy isn’t thickening as much as you would like, you can add in 1/2 tsp of Xanthan Gum. First, whisk in the Xanthan Gum with 1 tbsp of warm water in a separate bowl before adding it to the gravy.
