🔪 How to Make Keto Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

To Make the Almond Flour Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sweetener to a bowl and mix using a hand whisk or fork.

In a separate bowl, add the eggs, sour cream and melted butter and mix with hand mixer until combined. 

Add the cheese into the wet ingredients and continue mixing.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet and mix.

Scoop the biscuit mix into silicone muffin pan liners (or spray a non-stick muffin pan with non-stick spray).

Bake for 10-12 minutes (mine took exactly 10 min).

For the Keto Gravy

Add the sausage to a large frying pan and cook over medium heat.

Once the sausage is cooked through, add in the mascarpone cheese and melt it.

Then add in the rest of the ingredients and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened nicely.

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before cutting them open.  Once slightly cooled, slice the biscuits in half and pour some of the piping hot sausage gravy over the top.  Enjoy!

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftover biscuits in the fridge or freezer. If you decide to freeze them, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store for up to a couple of months.

🍴 What to Serve with Biscuits and Gravy

• Eggs: Keep it classic with some buttery scrambled eggs on the side or Quiche Lorraine or Caprese Frittata for something a little more hearty.

• Avocado slices: Fresh, creamy, and always a good call with savory sausage gravy.

• Cucumbers: If you’re serving them for brunch, add something cool and crisp with this Creamy Cucumber Salad.

• Berries: If you want a little sweetness to round things out, stick with keto-friendly options like raspberries or blackberries.

💡 Tips

• Use super fine almond flour, not almond meal, to keep the biscuits soft and tender.
• Don’t overmix the biscuit batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
• Let the mascarpone soften at room temp so it melts easily into the gravy.
• Adjust seasoning at the end. Salt levels vary with different sausage brands.
• Let the biscuits rest for 5 minutes after baking to finish setting inside.
• Line your muffin tin with silicone liners or parchment cups to prevent sticking.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Bacon gravy: Replace half the sausage with chopped bacon for a smoky twist.

• Spice: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne to the sausage for a little heat.

• Cream cheese: Swap mascarpone for cream cheese if you don’t have any on hand.

• Mushrooms: Add Sautéed Mushrooms to the gravy for a heartier version.

• Herbs: Try sage, chives or thyme in the biscuit dough for a herby twist.

• Skip the gravy: If you’d like other great ways to enjoy these drop biscuits, try them with Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry sauce or this Strawberry Chia Seed Jam.

Why Did My Gravy Turn Out Too Thin?

It may need more time to simmer. Keep it on medium heat and stir often until it thickens.

Can I Reheat This Gravy in The Microwave?

Yes, but heat the gravy in short intervals and stir in between so it doesn’t separate.

What Thickens Keto Gravy?

This sausage gravy recipe uses mascarpone cheese as a natural thickener, because it’s a rich and creamy cheese that melts beautifully when melted.

Also, using a large frying pan to make the gravy helps it thicken up as well. If you choose to use a smaller pan, you’ll need to extend the cooking time longer.

Can I Freeze Keto Sausage Gravy?

This gravy is so quick and easy that it’s best served fresh. You can freeze it, but because it’s mostly dairy, you’ll have to whisk it really well as it reheats.

Because of the moisture content, be sure to freeze in an air tight container to ensure optimal freshness.

Is Almond Flour Keto?

Almond flour is one of if not the best gluten-free, grain-free alternatives to regular flour making it perfect for Keto. For an entire cup of almond flour, there are 8 grams of net carbs.

Almond flour is made by grinding blanched, skinned almonds into a fine powder. If you’d like to know more about gluten free and Keto baking ingredients, “Keto Baking Made Easy” is a great article you may find useful.
