I use my same Keto Drop Biscuits recipe and top it with a wonderful sausage gravy. This recipe only takes about 15 minutes from start to finish!
The texture and flavor of these gluten free biscuits along with savory sausage gravy will have everyone guessing if they’re really low carb. They are just that good!
This low carb biscuits and gravy recipe is so easy to make and is really a nice change from the everyday eggs for breakfast!
And the great things about these biscuits is they actually freeze really well so you can double a batch and freeze some for later.

How to Make Biscuits with Keto Sausage Gravy
For the Gluten Free Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and swerve 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 saucepan and cook over medium heat.
Add in the remaining ingredients, except the mascarpone cheese and xanthan gum.
Cook over medium heat for a few minutes then add in the mascarpone cheese. Cook another 5-7 minutes, then add in the xanthan gum while stirring.
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!
Oh, but wait! 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.
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 Thickens Keto Gravy?
This sausage gravy recipe uses two thickening agents. Mascarpone cheese is naturally a thickener because it’s rich and creamy cheese that melts beautifully when melted.
Xanthan gum is the other thickener used. This product is used a lot in low carb sauces and gravy recipes. There’re zero net carbs in xanthan gum making it a great keto-friendly option.
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.

How many serving is this and is this per serving?
This is really good. I left out the sweetener and nutmeg. Hubby even liked it. Thank you!
Awesome, glad you both enjoyed it!
Do you drain the grease off of the sausage?
No, there isn’t much and I do not drain the healthy fat from the gravy.
Hello I have two questions for you. Why the xatham gum and what can I use in place of it? And can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone cheese?
Thank you
Hi Brenda,
The xanthan gum is a thickener, you can use Glucomannan instead if you like. You can also substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone as well. It will change the flavor a little, but will still be good 🙂 I hope that helps!
It was very good. I used arrowroot to thicken up the gravy. I think I used about 2 1/2 teaspoons until I got it to the thickness I liked. Thank you for making this recipe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Being a country girl from the south, biscuits & gravy are a given! However, being on keto/low carb is impossible with the recipe we grew up on, but this is as close as it could possibly get!
Easy, and so good!
Hi Ruth,
Nice to hear that you like the biscuits & gravy. Being from the South, that’s definitely a compliment! Thanks for stopping by to let me know 🙂
I am so happy I found you!
Aww, thanks so much, that’s so kind of you!
