Ingredients

For the Keto Biscuits

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

For the Keto Sausage Gravy

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large skillet
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be thick but easy to scoop.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the dough into six equal portions. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.

Gently shape each portion into a round biscuit about 1 inch thick.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuits

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly while preparing the gravy.

Step 5: Cook the Sausage

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon as it browns.

Continue cooking until the sausage is fully cooked and lightly browned.

Step 6: Add Butter and Seasonings

Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely.

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

Step 7: Create the Gravy Base

Pour in the heavy cream and almond milk. Stir continuously until the ingredients are fully combined.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8: Thicken the Gravy

Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the gravy while whisking constantly. This prevents clumping and helps create a smooth texture.

Continue simmering for 3 to 5 minutes until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.

If the gravy becomes too thick, add a small amount of almond milk to thin it out.

Step 9: Assemble and Serve

Split the warm keto biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.

Generously spoon the sausage gravy over the biscuits.

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy.

Tips for Success

  • Use finely ground almond flour for the best biscuit texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough, which can make the biscuits dense.
  • Add extra black pepper for a more traditional Southern-style gravy.
  • Freshly cooked sausage provides the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers separately to keep the biscuits from becoming soggy.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator

Store biscuits and gravy in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freezer

The biscuits can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap individually and place in a freezer-safe bag.

The gravy can also be frozen, though it may require whisking after reheating to restore its creamy texture.

Reheating

Warm biscuits in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes.

Reheat gravy gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.

Recipe Variations

Cheddar Keto Biscuits

Add 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the biscuit dough for extra flavor.

Spicy Gravy

Increase the crushed red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños to the sausage mixture.

Herb Biscuits

Mix in dried parsley, rosemary, or chives for a savory herb flavor.

Turkey Sausage Version

Substitute traditional pork sausage with turkey sausage for a lighter option.
